My presbyters, or a number of recommended men can do whatever they
want in the pulpit here. Most anyone else will be sat down before
their teeth come back together.

I draw lines where *I* feel comfortable in the Holy Ghost. But, as I
am not an important person, I do not draw everyone elses lines for
them. However, I dont feel it is nessesary to bestow intimate
confidence in everyone who may hold a fellowship card.
