There is one thing about me that some say is stubbornness, but it's not that, It's my desire to get at facts. Now, one time I heard a congrcsalion that was having trouble nnd no one seemed to know just how to find out and a correction, so I iiudo ssverii! trips to that church and finally I located their trouble. One of the members kept telling me that all was not as it should bo and kept telling me who was to blame. The first visit I made I kepi an eye that fellow and several others 1 i had been told about by this party. They were al! so friendly that trip I felt I woflld have to to again nnct I went cxpecling to calch up with the trouble maker, lliit I could nct see but that they were all doing what they could.

That for years she had been trying to gee i to see that they were all wrong ami Hint they were conducting themselves In a very unchristian- like manner. She said thai practically all of the churches were in a manner sick and that she thought there should be a church doctor to visit ail the churches and give them a real old-fashioned cure.
