Although threatened with influenza, Bishop Sattorlee officiated at services on the previous Sunday morning. Soon afterwards his condition bccamo acuto, and a physician was' called in. Ho'improved somewhat, and it fras thought that ho would speedily recovor, but pneumonia developed, with fatal results. ".. . The death of Dr. Sattorlee is a great loss to the Protestant Episcopal Church, in which he had been for many years a prominent and popular figure. He was born in New York in January, 1843, and was a graduate .of Columbia University, from which ho received a master's degree in 1866,' and the degree of LL.D. in 1897. He also received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from-Princeton and Union. Attaining to the priesthood in 1867, li<3 began his clerical service at Wappinger's Falls, N.Y.,. where lie was first an assistant for ton years, and then, for seven years rector of Zion Church. His ministry was notably successful, and, hp acquired an enviable reputation for zeal, tact, geniality, and eloquence. It was in 1882 that ho received a call to Calvary Church,. New lork, and immediately .set about the systematic' parochial and mission work to n;hich he had always devoted his best energies. Ho was chairman of the executive committee of tho Parochial Mission Society, a member of the standing committee of tho Diocese of Now \ork, and of tho General Board of Missions of the Episcopal Church. But his most notable ministration' perhaps was on the East Side ,of the city, where he established tho Galileo Mission, tho Olive 'l'roe Inn, and grocery storos, whore tho poor could procure honest supplies at rea-I sonablo prices. His handsome and stalwart form was familiar in districts where sickness 1 or distress was rifo. With the members o, his own congregation hp endeared himself by his good fellowship, his honovolcnce, and his pulpit eloquence. In 1887 lie was elected coadjutor bishop of Ohio, but declined the post, and ho again refused to leavqf his parish when chosen bishop of Michigan, two years later. But in 189G hp acccptcd tho call to bo Bishop of Washington, where ho at onco became a leader in theological circles. As a pulpit; orator, ho attracted a great deal of attention, especially by his outspoken denunciation of social follies, extravagances, and excesses. Lately his namo had been associated intimately with the schemo.for tho crection of a Protestant Episcopal Cathedral at the national capital, of which ho was one of tho most enejSptiQ advocates mid 'euppartara.
