Supreme Court of Iowa January 30, 1891 (Spry v. Williams)

Grangheb, J.

The point first made in argument, and probably chiefly relied upon, is that, where there is a “variance” between the laws of the society and the certificate, the former must govern. The correctness of this proposition we need not discuss. We may more profitably inquire if there is such a variance. We should keep in view in our reasoning .
