Issues Statement.
In a statement to The Washington

that the great majority of our mem
bers expressed their sentiments to-
ward Mr. Lawson by rising, in pre-
yious meeting before the adoption OF
the new constitution and election OF
trustees and deacons), at which he
positively cleared himself Of errone-
Gus statements made against him, the
congregation declaring IL would stand
bv and support him in the good work
he is carrying on.
"Thc idea or busting him seems to
have been conceived among the Tow
opposing clements who evidently
thought they were going to do some
thing. In this they failed. Can that
b, where the trouble lies? Failure!
"Our pastor has never called a
meeting that every member was not
urged to be present and II these few

should they oppose anything that the
majority sanctioned

"Can anyone conceive Of a man, a

kind treatment from the pastor? They
returned evil foH good. Docs this

our pastor did not utter one word un-
becoming to a minister NJ the gospel,
even In such adverse circumstances.
I wonder how many people we would
find not forgetting their calling at
such time. This alone proves his
worth.
at IL our duty and pleasure TO say
