whole soul into his words. He said he
THOUGHT appr0nripfA Tor the
new church would be the Apostolic
church." He felt as though he had been
delivered from his enemies; when a
man stands i'm the broad light OF the
Gospel" said he, land deliberately votes
against the Word OF God. he Is not my
brother. The law has been broken that
makes us kin spiritually; We have been
delivered from those people. we have been

great usefulness. His friends worked hard
10 get him called 10 Fulton. church. IN
Richmond, where II looks as III his mind Is
badly diseased. He has withdrawn from
the pastors conference, has espoused loose
communion. and gone off with the sane
tifca tionists. We have a very kindly feel
ing for him. and what some OF his TRENDS
feared over q year ago seems 10 be tue.
His heart Is warm and loving, and de-
sires To do right. but no man Is himself
when his reason Is gone. May Heaven
soon restore him to his right mind.
