Now. as to being willing to as- sume the burdens of the flock. had best be a little less positive in my answer, for I am not sure what you mean by that. I do not propose to take care of the pocket books of ths brethren while they go fishing, or to speak knowingly about the bigness of the hats worn by the good sisters at Eastertide. I will not engage to salve the consciences of the brethren who hurrah Jesus and vote for the devil. and I will not usher any such up to the pearIy gates will not engage to write or to deliver eulogies for those members who regard their religion as kind of spiritual life insurance" And now. since these qualities have been disclosed by the letter, the Att | lanta congregation has frightened things on its minister and is loath to give him up. He has the call un- der consideration. and the Peoria con gregation is anxiously awaiting de- cision.
