other churches in the city were attended

embarrassment under the circumstances
from John IA, S6.
He did not allude to the trouble In the
church during his discourse. AT Its con.
clusion. however, he said: "There are three
things would like to say In reference to
this matter. In the first place l had
nothing to do with the removal of your
pastor. was sorry for the removal Of
your pastor, who is my friend, and to
whom am a friend.
Secondly, do not deserve the unfayor.
able statements-the even unkind state.
ments-that have been made about me in
some OF the newspapers, one In particular.
My relations with this congregation
would preclude it. During your revival
meetings both this winter and the winter
before l came at the call of your pastor
with only the idea of helping him and do.
ing what l could In leading souls to
Jesus.
l do not deserve it because of my record
In the ministry. 1 have been ten years
In the ministry. In that time l have
had three appointments. Tho first l re-
mained three years. and was invited to re-
turn the fourth and would doubtless have
been invited to remain the fifth, had re-
mained the fourth. The second l remain
ed two years, and was invited the third,
and would doubtless have been the full
time.
The last was at Mt Salem, at which
was five years, The full limit of Metho-
dist partorate, and If the law would per-
init it, am told, could remain five years
years more. In saying this do not mean
represent the feelings of this congregation.
1t is only in the imagination of perhaps d
few.
Thirdly, II when the bishop comes this
week he determines your pastor shall re-
main, no one will acquiesce more readily
than L. want no mans place. Where
go is TO me secondary consideration. 1
am messenger of peace. l bring the
Gospel of peace, and want peace and
harmony wherever l am sent | want
peace and harmony that the cause Of God
may be advanced and His name glorifed"
