Bishop of Charleston, 1917-1927
Official blazon

Dexter: Parted per bend or and gules, on a bend argent three crosses moline palewise sable, on a chief of the second a lion passant guardant of the first langued of the second (See of Charleston); Sinister: Argent, a lion rampant gules charged on the shoulder with an escallop of the first, on a chief sable three trefoils of the field (Russell).
Motto: Alias oves habeo
Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The personal arms of the Bishop are taken from the ancient coat of the Russell family of Ireland, with one change and one addition: In the chief the three trefoils are substituted for the escallop shells, in honor of the Bishop's rectorship of St. Patrick's Church in Washington, D. C.; the lion has been marked with one of the escallop shells from the arms of the Patterson family, to honor his mother and as a symbol of affection.
The motto is taken from the Gospel of St. John, chapter 10, verse 16.
