! Presiding Elder of the Charleston
District
For the information of the pub?
lie, I am making this statement:
I never have said that I had withdrawn
from the race for the Bis
hopric. My friend9 put me for"war3
for the position, and I "stand
w ready to serve Bishop if the
Church wishes to use me. And 1
!\.2 assure you if I were a Bishop, the
Church would be greatly benefited
in every way. I would rather be
I. worthy of the position and not be
\ elected than to be elected and not
t be worthy. . .
Sincerely, ^
JESSE E. BEARD.
