In my talk with Ford and Smith on the
subject OF my leaving the church, they

This Ford processes 10 be minister and
follower OF Christ. But what is there in

There is nothing in the precept or exam

Christ was manifested by minister and PEG.
pie al that Lore feast, Christ says, BY
their fruits we shall know them. And
another writer Of equal authority with
them. says, II We have not the spirit OF
