Supported by His Church.

In concluding, the committee states:
1T cannot be questioned that the men,
bership Of Calvary Church are unit in
their opinion of the fitness and ability of
Dr. Goodell to fill any place within the
gift of the church. and that Calvary
Church would be a great loser If the
church at large should deem 1t necessary
TO take from it beloved and devoted
pastor.
We are not making this statement as
a vindication of DR.. Goodelrs integrity
of character, for he needs no defense in
this respect, but as a protest against the
methods Of Misrepresentation resorted to
for the manifest purpose of injuring his
reputation in order to advance the in
terests of others.
We deplore the fact that in a Chris
tan body. representing the religion of
Jesus Christ. there should be illustrated
a spirit OF willingness to sacrifice the
good name of a brother that the cause Of
others should be advanced.
After the evening service the official
board met again and ratified the action
