The Congregational Church Difficulty.


Editor Star The proceedings ia an eccIesias
teal council lately held in the Congre gatioual
Church in this city, wing been misrepresented
IN the papers, Will the STARpublish the correct
resnlt, In the langus &c OF the Coancil itself.
The Council made an earnest appeal to DR.
Boynton and his friends. to permit a mn,u,i
council They asked him to allow them to
piace statement of their grievances before the
Ghtnel, winch nave been called to meet in
January next, all of whose churches had be IN
named by Or. Boynton himself He declined. He
was tnen asked on what terms and conditions
mutuh council might be granted. He re.
pled that II was fixed purpose that there
should be no mutual Council before which the
minority should be allowed TO appear The
Council then voted "from the evidence before
us, we must conclude that the minority are
sincerely desrous of having all the Difficult
tles In the church submitted TO a mutual
council But thus far, they have been unable
10 get consent of the majority"
Evidence having been presented of Dr. Boyu-
tons mode Of governing church meeting, II
was voted that s'we have had laid before us
convincing evidence of hasty and irregular
action on the part of the pastor and the church
IN the transaction of the usiness Of the church,
enoangerlng the character of the church as a
congregational body, the moderator, while oc-
cupying the chair as presiding officer, taking
part IN the debate, and thus securing undue
advantage. We think the action IN the sum-
mary removal of the deacons from their office.
wac, to speak in the mildest form, very inJu-
dicious, and that the action was both hasty
and Irregular IN the summary suspension Of
one of the members Of the church, before the
proper preliminary steps in church discipline
had been taken"
ave also believe that the repelant attitude
IN which the church was placed toward our
Chrlstlan bre.hT OF the coIored race by the
manner in which the examination of certain
persons OF that race was conducted, and by
some of the public utterances of the pastor at
terward, is in serious conflict with the pee
talon OF the Congregational Churches at
largo"
Speaking OF the advise oility of the dissolution
or the pastoral relation, the Council say:
while II compelled TO judge solely by the evil
dence obtained by us, we should assign TO the
spirit and methods of the pastor much re-
sponslbillty for the troubles of the church as to
make his withdrawal in our Judgment expedi.
ent, We are fully and emphatically of the opin-
ion that the case is one that demands the ad vice
OF mutual conncil. before which all the facts
aud considerations bearing upon II might be
n ade the basis OF examination and ad vice"
The publication Of these utterances of the
Council Will show their deliberate decision.

Decared that favored glass
which drank, IN silence, that dainty feast,

Fanny was hands Jme-so they said
Desp7iring lovers, a score.
Who kissed at the euTls of her gipsy head,
But WISHED nearer kisses, anu more.
Brown-eyod Fanny came to me,
One day, with fingers two,
Holding Some object 50 carefully

Some precious pearl. some dlaI nu i"i'
On her forehead destined to oi'zei
Alasl il was only sing IA
Held up &c my wondering gaseI
From mr. dark curls' glossy shinel
For IT'S white might have cleaned like another star
In the f4ding dusk OF mine.
"See here" cried Fanny, "A burning shame
That work. and " rry, and toll,
And striving tor wealth and fashion, and fame,
