From dust jacket: This book is not a detailed full-length portrait, but a true and living sketch, done with a sure hand, guided by an understanding heart and a keen intellect. A better friend it would be hard to find among human beings than Charles Henry Brent, helper and counsellor of humanity, of rich and poor, saint and sinner, the world over -- trully Everybody’s Bishop. To read this book is to know Bishop Brent. Closing it, one leaves the presence of a great man, and yet has that presence always with im in the vivid, memorable words of Miss Slater’s great sketch of a great bishop. (Inventory #: 4251gls)
