We should1 newer talk ourselves to death' '“Silence is eloquence.” No one is allowed, by law, to sow discord in the local and certainly not in (the general church. ' All systems of human govern ments are defective to some extent. Therefore, w will Ibe making, amend I > inig, and repealing laws un,til the Christ of God returns .who shall rule in rigiheousness.

Jf most (people would talk what they absolutely know (they would not speak another word in four days. We need many things 'but .we do not need enemies.
