An Appeal for Forgiveness

By Roswell F. Cottrell

I am very sorry to hear that brethren were influenced to a rebellious spirit through their great confidence in me; and also, that, when I saw I was wrong and publicly renounced my position, their confidence did not continue. It is easier to lead people into wrong and rebellion than to lead them out of it. I am not conscious that I had a rebellious spirit at all. I am very sorry for my rash, inconsiderate act, and for my slowness in realizing its effects and striving to counteract them. Brethren, forgive me. And may God forgive me. R. F. COTTRELL.
