Note to Elder Loughborough.

By Editor

DEAR BROTHER: In your work on Religious Societies, &c., page 11, you say:
"The president must caution the voters not to write the name of any officer of the church on their ballots, for the law says the trustees shall be laymen"
Query.—Is not a local elder or a deacon a layman? He is not a clergyman. If he is not a layman what is he? Please explain. This work must go out right if we have to re-print it.—Ed.
