the age than any other. After working
up grad,Itlly TO the subject, the aged

initial on this point. He said that the
Southern Methodis,n had profted in
some matters by the example OF North
c,n Siethodists. and that the example
had sometimes been an incentive to
greater things. but that the Southern
followers We're also watching the North

takes, SO lat those of the South could
profit by avoiding them.
