to Plymouth Church why was it not
cad +? Because it was not to be made
public, but it was intended TO be kept
private, therefore it was not read in the
church meetiLgs. Hit had been pub:
lshed by us in its full text, it would
rot have esn a letter to Plymou
Church, but challenge to 1t
before the whole world. This letter
was approved AID signed by the
Commissioners of the church and sent
On it's mission. The authorities OF
Plymouth Church had the letter three
weeks or more before they read 1t.
II we had made any mistake We cor
, rected it in the letter we sent after IT,
! Why did we not send note? Breth'-
ren, Plymouth Church was powerful
church and note would seem as an
autumn leaf dropped by the brook: 1t
! should be a letter long enough to
bring about the desired result. We did
the bes! we could in the tear OF TOD,
aud in the hope that our churches
should have the burden removed tTom
them with the council OF the wlsest
men we could get. This
| letter was kept by them for three weeks
and was then read and an answer
adopted, which was then read in our
chuych meeting and unanimously ap"
proved A ACnurch may err by appoint
ling deaCouesses, but when it attempts
to touch upon the doctr.n's Of '@iih, we
have right to interrUse. II "a7 no

that he must strengthen the walls be-

Prc,ident Chapiu, OF Beloit, asked
two questions substantially as follows

bers OF Plymouth Church who had
