But he says, “To be simply a Chris­

reuniting with the Christian church

that after he and his wife put their
membership in a small Baptist
church that he " still preached for
and broke bread with the Chris­
tian brethren just as often as with

Baptists and Christians too, in that
part of the country must have had
something about them resembling
india rubber. May the Lord bless
his people everywhere.
