DOT No. S. While in Cincin-
natl, / had the fortune to hear
much about the work being ac-
comrlishcd by Bishop Reverdy C.
Ransom. While Bishop Ransom
and ] have argued much along
National matters. He being a
Democrat, and a Republican,
we have Crossed Swords" often:
but, never TO the falling out"
point. Our friendship has been
long and lasting. Today, We are
as true friends to each other as
we have ever been. He is actu-
ally carrying the 3rd Episcopal
District TO heights never before
attained. That is that, without
naming any particular thing. B
shop Ransom, is one of our best,
ablest and most consecrat- D,-
shops.

to stand BY the law of the chulcn,
regardless of who It hurts, or
helps. The cases of disruption
at Los Angeles, Calf; Pittsburgh,
Pa; and in Georgia, have had
some of our church writer's, and
columnists to write and say much
In critic sm OF some of our BIZ
shors. But, Bishops Noah Will
lianls, VIM. A. Fountain, r. C.
Ransom aided by the eminent
Bishops David H. Sims, Jno. A.
Gregg, and others are taking 4
stand, for the church, and for
letting the Bishops and the BIZ
shops alone, make the appoint
ments in the church. for one
believe when preacher, high or
low, refuses to take the appoint
ment given him by the Rishop,
he is unworthy of respect. The
Church is better off without him,
Than with him.
