Last week, in New Orleans, when the Bishops assembled in secret, few thought that Bishop Murray would be chosen their leader, but all knew the story of his devotion to the Church National, Universal. So after 14 ballots, during which Bishop Brent of Western New York and Bishop Gailor of Tennessee unsuccessfully divided most of the votes between them, there came a sudden rush of enthusiasm for the onetime bookkeeper of Salem, Ala.
