Self-Announced.

A story told by Bishop Greer illustrates the plain nature of the man. On an occasion when he was to confirm a class a carriage was sent for him in charge of an English coachman who had been imported by a wealthy American. Bishop Greer walked unaccompanied and in non-clerical dress from his front door to the carriage and entered the driver did not move his horses. After waiting for a moment the bishop asked the man why he did not drive on. “I’m waiting for the lord bishop of New York, sir,” the proper person replied. “Well,” said the bishop, “I’m it. Drive on.” —Christian Register.
