the most damage was in tearing open

1heir former geniality. There are some
soreheads yet over the recent church
election Of trustees and stewards. Those
who wish to be in Office all of the time
are as mad as March Hares" il they are
ignored. should remember that it takes
several members TO make a church, snd
ahe distribution Of Offices should be equal
ized amongst its members. Few people
expect to hold ofice indefinitely, and in
deed from our point of view. we cannot
zee what there is in these small Offices to
attract men with the genius and calibre
fhst these possess who are so sorely hurt
over the recent church election. These
men should hold their temper, get really
converted and be christians. then they
will do unto their brethren as they wish
20 be done by.
