The Right Rev. William Ingraham Kip, D.D., Bishop of California, 1858. American Protestant prelate. 'His labours as missionary Bishop for three long years of trial and difficulty were uniformly stamped by a wise, firm, conciliatory, gentlemanly, and truly Christian administration of the episcopal functions; hence the united, warm, and spontaneous expression of love for his person and satisfaction with his course in our unanimous election of him as our chief pastor. He came here when there were only from three to five infant parishes in the whole State - when it may be said the Church had only a nominal existence on this distant shore of the Pacific; but now there are three flourishing parishes in the city of San Francisco alone, one in Sacramento, and one in almost every considerable town in California, planted and fostered by Bishop Kip...If ever a man of God in modern times had just reason to denominate missionary work a soul warfare, Bishop Kip has that reason...In the American Episcopate, which is derived from the English, he is only two removes from the Archbishop of Canterbury. He is also very nearly connected to some noble English families of long standing'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
