Church “Gestapo.” "A touch of humour was introduced into a presbytery meeting recently when it was considering a remit on procedure in a vacancy," states the "Outlook,” the Presbyterian paper. "One member maintained that neither the ministerial transfer committee nor an interim moderator could secuie reliable information regarding ministers. Frequently, said the speaker, they relied on the ‘whispering gallery,' that unofficial group, or it right be a person, forming a Gestapo—often they are quite nice people with a distorted viewpoint, sometimes inadequately informed. We will never suomit to this Gestapo business in the Presbyterian Church, by which many a good man is, condemned with faint praise.”
