'We observe with pleasure a statement in the Daily Telegraph

and the Daily News that the Dean of Worcester (Dr. Gott, formerly Vicar of Leeds) has been offered, and has accepted, the Bishopric of Truro, which Dr. Wilkinson has been com- pelled by his ill-health to resign. Dr. Gott is a man of great energy and enthusiasm, who left behind him in Leeds a feeling of reverence almost as profound as that which was enter- tained there for Dr. Hook, afterwards Dean of Chichester. He will be a worthy successor to Dr. Benson and Dr. Wilkinson.
