Dr. Myers signed an agreement to be thor oughly loyal to the church , T > reich purely evangelical nermons and Methodist doc trine * ; do nil he could to atone for and bury the ppst , end build up the church , but lie would not agree to take the appointment originally given him by the bishop in case the decision was against him.
