from he Independent
What we anticipatpd last week ns tho
most likely result Of the late action OF Ply
mourn CHURCH has como 20 pass. Mrs. Moulton
ms followed up hyr protest by asking plymouth
Church 20 unite with her IN calling mutual
council u consider her grievance ~ her sum-
~ rVexoisiOn; aud she announces to the church
that VI Il shall neglect to consider her request
she VIII after four weeks regard such neglect as
refusal, and will proceed To- call an ex parte
council. The result which Plymouth Church
has tried TO avoid thus come upon her, and
her ecciesiastiral isolation IA very near nc hand
For IL seems likely that it was to avoid lust
which Mrs Moulton was dropped. She was ex.
uectcd to ask Tor a letter to some other church.
TINS letter II would be impossible to grant,
when ut the bidding of the church and It's pas
tor she had been branded AZ a periured alan
dcrer IT, however hcr request should he re-
fused, she would have n right To call council
to consider thtt grievance. 1t was probably to
avoid this contingency that rule VS. passed
which would allow hcr name to he drOppcd.
but they did not ioresce u u she would protest
against this action ana justify her non atten-
dance. nor That their own most arbitrary pplca-
ton ~ the rule to resilient member. without
opportunity Tor defence or time for considering
the rebuke of the church, would afford album
dant Justification for ecclesiastical action.
OF tue iiudlng ot the council there can bc little
doubt he Large council AREA v SO famous IN
the annals ot TINS sad affair settled that matter
pretty concusivcly. The case OF MIR. liton was
one very mucn like this. He was simply
d:onped, on the ground OF non attendance,
his y stor's moral character. The council re-
oukcd that action ne utterly irregnlar; bat, IN
Church, ADVISED that fraternal relations bN stiil
maintained, IN the hope that Plymouth Church
may satisfy these churcues of Its acceptance Of
the PRINCIPLES which it has been supposed to
disown' hut what was then CON paratively
slight irrerilarity Is nov, most 0lNring one.
