The Plymoufh Church Difficult

The Plymoufh Church Difficulty.
New YORK, March 2l.-After
prayer meeting in the Plymouth
Church last evening, letters from DR..
Stores and DR.. Buddirgton's
churches were read inviting Plymouth
to send Mr.. Beecher and commit
tee to Congregational council, but inti-
mating that they would have no voice
in the proceedings, except in the con.
tradiction Of misstatements and in furn-
ishing what Information they might be
asked for. The Plymouth Church de-
clined the invitation and resolv-
eed that the calling Of this
car parts council TO consider the
affars OF the church, which has
not declined mutual council, is the con
summation of course of proceedings
it which are irregular and unwarranta-
bic. They further say, 1--WE have felt
bound from the beginning to protest
that we recognize in the statement apd
invitation a persistent attempt to put
this church under accusation and on
trial" Plymouth church will meet
Wednesday night next to take any ac-
ton requisite by the session o! the coun-
Gil OF the night before.
7. q. Holland on the Temperance
Movement.
J. 6. Holland hos publiahed reply
to the recent circular OF Archbishop
Purcell On the present temperance
movement among the women. He says: /:
What IN Gods dear name was there
left for them to do but just what they
are doing and what you condemn. The
whole business has been left 10 God
and women, and the latter are praying
in the churches and iu the streets and
pushing on their divine and peaceful
crusade. Because the men Of America
have lailed to do their duty, shall the
Christian man, in high station or
low lie raise his voice against them. :.
The scriptural quotations of the Arch"
bishop are aoswered by other quotations
and with the remark: When ac-
count IS taken OF the cirumS
stance under which each separate
passage Was written, II was easy to sus-
tain any proposition by it. In the con-
cIuiirr paragraph o! the reply, DR.. Hol.
land saws 20 the Archbishop: Il
tremble TO think OF the stumbling block
which YOU in your circular have placed
before the tempted and deceived. There
is not a whisky mill in America which
does not stand frmer on its founda-
tions in consequence otit; there is nota
whisky seller in the country who does
not approYe OF it aud feel cas-
ier in his business because Of
it. There is no man who INDUCES in
wine 10 the destruction OF his influence
as q temperance man who does not see
in it his Justification. There is no young
mau just beginning the course OF disslpa-
ton, who does not find his downward
steps the easier for it; all those who re-
sucCt and reverence the temperate prac-
tices OF your lite are grieved by 1t; you
have made mistake which you can
hardly rectiy in lie time; you have
given strength to the forces organized
against national purity and morality e.
