In 1880 he was elected missionary bishop of Washington territory, and consecrated on 15 December His success in this arduous field has been encouraging. A church hospital costing about $60,000 has been built, and an endowment of $100,000 secured for it. Several church schools have also been established and are in a flourishing condition.
