The president adjusted his eye-glasses, and gave this brand-new Gordon a calm over-look. "And if I decline to discuss business matters with a rude school-boy?" he intimated mildly. "Then it will be rather the worse for you," was the defiant rejoinder.
Long openly denounced Christian Healing as but another form of spiritualism, and admonished his flock to beware of ravening wolves. Rev.
