The pIymouth Church Difficulty

New YORK, March ia committee
OF Rev. Drs. Storrs and Buadington 8
churches have made a public statement
which is 10 be fol warded to the churches
invited to take par; in the council that
is TO consider the alleged irregularities
ir Beecher's church. The document
tells how Tilton's name WAS dropped
rom the rolls and about the protest
entered, and says "au action like this ap-
psrpntly made VOID the covenant OF the
churches. Seven OF those who therein
had solemply promised to submit 10
the necessary discipline and avoid all
causes OF scandal and offense while the
providence OF God should continue
them in the church, were practically
declared at liberty at any time to annul
these obligations by the action OF their
individual minds, though stIll enrolled
as responsible church members. The
questions cballeLglng the attention OF
the Convention are not as TO Christian
character or purity OF the life OF the
pastor OF Plymouth Church, nor as to
the truth or faIsehood OF the charges
made against a mem Der Of that church,
affirming his circulation Of injurious
scandal against the pastor, but the
questions are, was the action OF Ply
mouth church in the Tilton case right
according to order and usages, and is
it's position entirely independent to-
ward all churches exterior TO itself
rightly to be maintained while its pub
lie Congregational relations continue.
