Over the many years I've been in quite a number of congregations.
The majority of elders with whom I've worked have been indifferent and ineffectual ; a rather significant minority pompous, ruddy swine ; there have been a handful that were sincere, caring individuals : too bad none of the last catagory were in my JC lynching party .
I'm feeling a wee bit bitter tonight, perhaps I ought best take to bed. Good-night, all.
