Rev. Walter T. Sumner, D.D., dean of the cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul (Protestant Episcopal), Chicago, was elected bishop of Oregon at a special convention of that diocese, meeting in Portland, Sept. 16. He has accepted the election, and will undertake his new duties probably in January. Dean Sumner has won a national reputation by his work for social betterment, his service as president of the Chicago vice commission being perhaps most widely known.
Secretary, Herbert W. Blake, Gardner, Mass.
