A pastor Gorham of Second Presbyterian faced a faction seeking a “drawing preacher.” John T Waltz and kin joined the plot to oust Gorham, pressuring for a stronger successor while Gorham remained respected for his steady, compassionate ministry and knowledge of the congregation. The parable ends with Gorham’s removal amid conflict over leadership.
A troubled preacher from a prominent New York church faced backfire when he ordered the Waltz baby removed from the church during a baptism. The instance followed earlier calls that drew preachers from across the country, including a disputed choice of Rev. Mr. Andrews who proved distant to the congregation and bungled several ceremonies.
In a tense scene, Mr Andrews confesses a killing but claims he forgot and begs forgiveness. Elders deem him a hopeless case and discuss exile to return to writing philosophy while debating Gorham’s return to a settled church life.
