We see the good Bishop in a very disturbed state when he discovers that his most treasured possession, the gandsticks given him by his mother are stolen. The guilty party is an esenpeil convict who later repents his act, and returns the candlesticks. The Bishop, over- joyed at the return of them readily forgives the convict and what is more, aveceeds in converting him.
