my narrative. The next session met
at New Hope Chur ch, Bedford coun-

as to that session which read as
follows:
i Resolved By the Association, That
we again advise the churches not to
invite any minister into their house
to preach who is known to propagate
any of those heresi es alluded to in
our last years minu ties. The next
session set at Mt. Moriah Church,

Holman at Mt. Moriah, that at their
next meeting, perhaps, it was expect

The time came on, and / went down
to see what was done, and to try to
keep the church together, if possible.
So the church met in conference,

his publication made some remarks
relative to it-and made a motion to
this amount, viz: that the church re-

stand, it was referred till Monday.
Monday morning, the letter was
handed in by brother I. j. Miller,
with the information that the breth-
rem who bore the letter were
gone home. But when you
read tho minutes, you will find from
Round Lick, Elder P. L. H. Walker

William Boone, seconded by brother
Mark Whitaker, that the Association
rescind the advice given relative to
inviting ministers to preach in any Of
our churches, &c. (See minutes at
Sugar Creek and New Hope-) They

that the word consistency IS omitted,
it was insisted that it should i
be inserted, and it was denied by The
moderator that the word was in the {
motion. To be continued 1.
