The Beecher Investigation.
The following gentlemen compose the
committee appointed by the Association of
Congregational Ministers for the investiga-
tion concerning Mr.. Beecher: Rev. Dr. Bud
ington, pastor OF Clinton Avenue Church,
Br9oklyni Rev; Or. William Tay lor. pastor
of Broadway Tabernacle, New York; Pro.
fessor B. N. Meartin, of New York Univer-
sity; Rev. c. II. Everett, pastor of the
Church of the Puritans, Brooklyn; Rev. S.
H. Virgin, pastor of the Congregational
Church of Harlem, New York. Probably
nothing will be done for week or two.
The committee which was appointed last
Wednesday has held no formal mee ting, nor
has it yet arrived at . decision regarding
the method of procedure in the investiga-
ton. The resolution under which it acts
directs it to review all the evidence ap-
parent and attainable respecting the mat
ters which brought Mr.. Beecher before the
courts, and to report 20 the association it's
findings. coupled with advice as to whether
the accused gentleman should be retained
in or be expelled from the association. 1t
must be understood that the Ministerial As
sociation has no jurisdiction over the
churches as corporate bodies.
1t concerns itself only with the personal
character OF their pastors, or such of them
that belong to the New York and Brooklyn
Association. Should the result of the de-
lberations of the committee be a recon-
mendation that Mr.. Beecher be expelled,
the adoption Of such resolution would not
directly affect that gentleman's relations to
Plymouth Church. 1t would eimply be q
verdict of moral condemnation by his asso-
ciates. The committee is not limited to any
set period for it's work, and will take all the
time necessary to go to the bottom of the
complicated subject.
