Be careful revrandy! I learned very quickly that any questioning of the search for a pastor was met with quick and certain accusations of me not being concerned about doing things in "God's Time".
I am guessing you may hear the same about your speculation about the number of candidates being considered. If in fact it is true over 40 men are in the running you can rest assured that dog and pony show is all just a part of "God's Plan" and partially explains why "God's Timing" seems to be very, very, very slow! (takes a long time to work through that long of a list!).
Of course I would not be surprised to find that that number given his highly exaggerated. It seems hard to believe they would seriously consider more than a handful of names beyond the search committee.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
