Summary
Discussing how to make sure Minnesota's new bishop is not a "high churchman"; alluding to a "strong effort to defeat Evangelical men in Iowa, and to keep them out of Minnesota"; noting that "there is evidently the beginning of a reaction in the Church at large in favor of moderate principles, and it is our duty to take advantage of this fact, and work while we can."
