Christian Age 2 Timothy 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do engender strifes. Huxley came to Baltimore to attend a general conference in 1820. A discussion arose on a question of order, whether presiding elders should be elected by preachers or not, and the dispute had waxed warm, not to say hot. Brother Huxley had said not a word through it all, but at the close of the session the Bishop called upon him to make the concluding prayer. He knelt and said, "Now, O Lord, Thou knowest what a time we've had here discussing and arguing about this eider question, and Thou knowest what our feelings are. We do not care what becomes of the ark; it's only who drives the oxen." (Christian Age.)
