Bishop Henry Knox Sherrill: "I, Henry Knox, do induct and install you, Right Reverend Father in God, Arthur, into the office of President Bishop, with all its rights, dignities, honors and privileges: in which may our Lord Jesus Christ preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth forevermore.
