Bottineauans are gene e.ally speaking q
church-go;ng people, but it does seem
as though we were having too much Of a
good thing with three church services going
on at the same time. Why not concede
something and alternate the meetings in
such q way as to give three services a day
but only one of kind at time? Pastor
and people would be better pleased and the
cause would not suffer thereby.
The criticism of the Lance of last week in
regard to that ecclesiastical "hen-roost" is
an exhibition of profound love on the part
of its author for the beloved ex-pastor Of
| about the same value as were his s;sictu-es
| on the e:-.beloved last fall. The remark ot
tle reverend and ex-beloved Turner was
fippant and irreverent and publicly made
and, our notice o: it made for the benefit oi
whom it may concern. We have q deer
abiding interest in The Baptist church
which cannot be estimated by dollars and
cents or by any sordid and selfish standard
that Sinclair might suggest.
