In my experience the relationship of WL with WN was key. Whenever I or any other new one wondered who WL was they were told of WN and how WL was his closest coworker. In my opinion the respect of WN was one of the pillars that the entire LRC rested on.

James here addresses serious errors in practice which violate the perfect law of freedom, (1.25) and which should have governed our sights regarding LC ministers. Our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, should never be governed by personal favoritism towards any man. The credentials and reputation of any minister should never elevate him above scrutiny by the church. The Lord's throne is founded on righteousness, and no minister should ever sideswipe the demands of righteousness and holiness in his quest to enjoy the glories reserved solely for our Lord Christ.
