Bishop Wilson’s sentiments on this point were those of one who had deeply imbibed his Master’s spirit.—‘The greatest prelate in the Church is the one who is most conformable to the example of Christ, by humility, charity, and care of his flock, and who for Christ’s sake, will be a servant to the servants of God.’ And again—‘God give me a true and prudent humility; to have nothing of the secular governor—to attend the flock of Christ as a servant—to look back on him as my pattern—to study his conduct and spirit—to spend and be spent for my flock, and that I may never strive to live at ease, in plenty, in luxury, repose, and independence.’ Sacra Privata.
