A Circumstance that Alters the Case.
By W. Sutliff
BRO. W. SUTLIFF writes from Steele Co., Minn.: “I would say in regard to Eld. Fassett’s complaint about Bro. I. Sanborn’s going among their people at Burns, that I had distributed our publications there, and quite an interest was awakened in that place before Eld. Hough went there.” From this it appears that our people made the first move in that field, and that if any claim can be based on priority of possession, it belongs to us. Under these circumstances, a complaint against Bro. Sanborn of entering into their labors, comes from them, to say the least, with very poor grace. They accuse him of doing the very thing of which they were guilty, and he was not—an accusation quite suggestive of what the wolf said to the lamb on the bank of the stream.
