send you for publication the following res
olutions on the subject of Christian Per
lection, adopted by Genesee Consolation
IN Brighton, July 10th, 1S4l:
/ Whereas it is the duty of ecclesiastical
bodies TO speak out clearly and definitely
upon all important theological questions
upon which differences of opinion exis
among Christians; and whereas the doc
trlne that Christians do actually attain t.
a state of entire freedom from sin, and con
tinue SO in this life, is to some extent prev
alent: and whereas some churches have
been greatly injured through its prevail
ence and influence, therefore, ~.

! experience; and in its influence, at war
with the principles of the gospel, and des.
tructive OF the order and harmony of the
churches. -.:.. s.-.--
2. That it is disorderly and Inconsistent

who holds or publishes the said doctrine.
3. That the holding or the publishing
OF the above named doctrine, by any mem

fence against the great Head of the
Church, aud against the peace of this
body, which would call for the salutary
and proper enforcement of discipline.
4. That this body will not knowingly

doctrine, or admit, or suffer any person to

the assurance that the new church will be
kept purer than the old How long before
another branch of still stricter notions will
break off from the second, and thus diyis-
ions and heresies multiply and operate for
many years.
The evils of this course will appear
the stronger to those who have a true
sense ofthe value and dignity ofthe Christ
ian church, and of the merciful designs
and methods of divine grace, in maintain

gies. So long as we recognize an indi-
vidual church, as protesting the faith in
Christ, our duty is TO labor for its instruc.
ton, enlargement, and perfection. What
if all its members do not sympathize with
me in my sentiments on slavery, must |
therefore denounce them? What if some
think that am loo forward and intrusive,
must | therefore forsake the communion,
and erect an opposing church, Is this
the best method TO convince, to remove
prejudice, and promote united action2
We earnestly hope that these measures
will be abandoned by these who have
urged them. Especially do we hope that
our readers will not encourage any at
tempts to make divisions in churches.
Depend upon it, there can be nothing
gained, and the Bible strictly enjoins US
to mark them that cause divisions, and to
seek for the peace, unity. and purity OF
the church. We cafe not how much zeal,
faith, eloquence, and activity are exerted
for the slave, but we do care whether this
exertion shall be put forth in manner
