The Cresco correspondent OF a
Decorah paper says: "The editors of
the r. D. were not to blame for print
ing them, but in justice,to the mem-
bers of the Congregational church, to
the whole community, they should in

clause. We think the church should
apologize to the Gentle world for its
attempt to conceal the moral record
of the man it resoluted out of its pul-
pit.
