They wished force the bishop to appoint as pastor one who was a stranger the diocese and against whom complaints had been made. The bishop could not conscientiously appoint him and told the committee so. They said that if this priest were not appointed they would take the deed of the church. The bishop replied that the church property belonged to the congregation, but that the law of the church required that the REFRIGERATORS There is such a vast difference in the quality of refrigerators you should be careful in your selection.
