Well Said.

THE BAPTIST BANNER says: "If there is anything in the world we despise in Sabbath-school, church, or elsewhere, it is 'toadying.' Some brethren seem to think if some members are about to lend their influence and presence to another denomination or Sabbath-school, that we ought to give them some post of honor to win them back again. If truth and duty will not win them, let them stay. If there are places of trust and honor to be filled, let them always be given to those who walk worthily. We don't believe in unnecessarily 'snubbing' anybody; but if anybody has to be 'snubbed' let it be the wayward and undutiful."
The welfare of the school or the church should be the first object held in view, and this is best served by putting in office those who are faithful; who prove themselves true in any position. It is by being faithful in the least which, in the Saviour's estimation, entitles one to rule over greater things.
