s0nal iil will or arv unworthy motives.
2-We do not believe that Brother Cam
non in any of the uttcrauces complained
0f las intended 20 Doe unjust or un-
.r |It.r tI -
brethren.
Eve are of the opinion however. thar
brother Cannon has sometimes expressed I
himself in terms SD strong and uncom-
promising as 10 produce upon the mind
of the average reader or hearer. the inn
preston of uuch1r.tlhIeness and occi-
sI0nally in terms that are Justly offensive
10 the person under criticism and we al
wise brother Cannon % guard his utter
ances in future and while holding all doe
loyalty 10 his convictions o. avoid even
the appearance Of unkindness.
I've recommend that brother Can
