To all country subscribers of
the Weekly Free Press who

We do this to increase our

We do this for the benefit
of our advertisers and to run

We feel that this arrange

POLITICS IN CHURCH
N STATE

In the selection made by the Meth
odist conference for three Bishops,
the Bristol Courier would draw a les
son that could be made applicable to
our everyday politics. The office OF
bishop is the highest the church has
to confer, and naturally there is quite
a fight for the office among those who
are eligible. But In the present in
stance nothing but the fitness OF the
man was taken into consideration.
and the result was the election OF
three OF the best men in the South
ern conference TO the three bishop
rlcs. The Courier says:
The action Of the churchmen in
selecting such men as these to be at
the head Of the affairs Of church are
suggestive OF what should be done
