The foe you are fighting is striving

That according to settlement made
at that meeting. the superintendent
year ended on September so. 1910.
The superintendent, Or seder, was
offered the position for another year.
but refused 20 accept the offer made
~ that time.
Although Or. seder refused the po-
sition ana ignored all the decisions Of
the Meeting OF the trustees OF Oc-
tober IS. 1910. he has gone on ever.
since using the name Of superintend~
ent Of the league 10 get into churches
and collect money which WIS never
turned over 10 the treasurer.
Second. As DR.. seder was not su-
perlniendent of the league. no could
not cail a meeting either OF the head
quarters committee or OF the trustees
of the league. and therefore all such
pretended meetings called by him
were irregular.
Third; At the pretended meeting
held October 10. 1911, Df. Seder
claimed 20 hold three proxies and
gave fourth one to Dr. Bright. who
acted as chairman OF the meeting.
These proxies were never presented
TO the meeting or passed upon by Il.
DR.. Seder said he had these proxies,
but the meeting did not even get the
names Of the persons giving them,
and as Or. Bright was chairman Il Is
evident that the proxy which he held
could not have been recognized BY
the meeting before Il was organized.
Two facts are patent respecting these
proxies; First, as these trustees rep
resented the bodies which appointed
them. they could not give their pFox-
les to any person and therefore the
claim OF Dr. sader IL absurd Second.
that, as Or. seder was financially Inc
torosted IN the decisions OF the meet
ing 20 the extent OF $4,000 or more
year, his attempting 20 Sit as a
trustee with three proxies In his
pocket was Improper.
Fourth. THAT irregular meeting or
October 10, 1911. which WAS domi-
mated by proxies which were never
presented nor properly recognized By
the meeting. worked over the min
utes Of the trustees meeting OF Octo-
Der 30. 1910, ana struck out several
integral parts OF che minutes which
the chairman OF the meeting declared
were part OF the actual work done.
