Cleansing of Church Members Proposed in Hamiota Hustler
In a 1893 Hamiota Hustler column Brethren of the Churches are urged to discipline unfaithful members.

It cites the need to remove a “Jonah” aboard and warns one rotten apple can spoil the whole barrel. A note requests clean white linen at the hospital.
