present AZ It's close one member moved TO throw II
in the wastepaper basket and another that u should
be ignored. To all such proposals Mr.. Shearman was
opposed He said they uncharitabie, that we are
commanded to bear with the inhrmltes OF the weak,
and not strive TO please ourselves he had no doubt
he said that the member had acted his conEcience
according 10 the best light God had gwen
him, and he hoped the motion would be
withdrawn. His request was complied with. de then
said that since the letter Of Mr. West was 70 be pub
lshed It should not 90 forth 70 tho worlu enurely
uncontradcted. He proceeded 70 say lhat PIT; mes' %
assumed that Plymouth church had published MRS.
Mouon's letter days before II was delivered 10
him. Now, said he, persons in this church know very
well that after trying to hold private meeting, lh
which Mrs. Moulton's case was to be discussed, We
found that the matter got
and the next time had TO deal with her case
IN the ordinary way could not help reporters
being present Then she complains that the last
answer of the church to her appeared in the papers,
but was not delivered to her. We thought 1t
unnecessary to deliver il TO her after II had been pup
shed IN the papers But we took especial pans S ens
ton about the same time that II was read mere
and before IL could possibly appear in the
meeting from which reporters we're excluded, and the
report OF it wassonly obtained by eavesdroppng and
mat mat very % same evening before nsOps we mac mac
committee, he came and said that he knew his name
was dropped and he told the world that he
thought II was very wrong and we thought IL unnec-
essary to invite him after that He says that his letter
was not presented to the church until after reconsider
alton had been had of the vote on which he was
out when say that haa presented that lctt0r to the
church before the action taken In the next place,
his letter was read and in that very same meeting and
read in full What he meanY Every
thing that he said has been published
time or another, before the church had
received it, His letters always at least in type
before we got them and we did think 1t necessary
TO read them, and now this man comes before the
church and says at once II want you TO join with me
in calling mutual council TO try the pastor, against
whom make no charge and with whom the church Is
perfectly satisfied and want you to let me select one
half the members Of that council think that Mr..
West is convinced by this time Of the folly Of that
course
Brother r, w. Raymond thought that all communi-
cations from Mr.. West should be sent to the Examn-
ing Committee.
Brother Mckay made hit at some OF the old
bach e. ders whom it took long time to
brin round to Mr. Beechers side, and
fnalW resolution adopted to the
efTect hat in future all communications sent to the
church should come under the supervision Of the Ex
amining Committee by whom 1t should be determined
whether or not they should be presented to the
church Furthermore than merely TO announce the
nature OF them.
After the appointment Of the following named as an
Advisory Committee of the church: DR.. Edward
Beecher, H. W. Sage, Rosster r. Raymond, Deacon
Hutcherson, Augustus Storrs Brother McCabe and r.
n. White-the meeting adjourned
