It was a politcal plot that failed but it opened his eyes up to the political corruption of organizational politics. So he began to write and did he write? And true Bro. Chambers had just became Supt and he was not going to clash with those two war horses. I do not know about Guidroz but Weeks told many a preacher in his later years he did not handle that correctly and was sorry. They never thought it would cause the disruption it caused. But I NEVER heard Elder Burr speak unkind about Guidroz-Weeks-Chambers only the system.

I think I was the last preacher to meet a Louisiana District Board when C. G. Weeks was district superintendent.
Campmeeting 1978 - I had graduated from JCM that May.
I met the board for my general license Friday night just before 7pm. Weeks briefly read a note from Brother Ewing and they passed me, then talked about having to rush out to get on the platform.
That was the final night of campmeeting,
Weeks complained of chest pains after service and was brought to the hospital, where he died that night.
