of determining the course OF the church in
regard TO Mrs Moulton was the man OBJ
ject Of the meeting. In response

as be expressed himself HERALD reporter for the
purpose or delivering letter. but to such ques
tons as under the circumstances the members the
committee might deem ht to put IL under
stood from Mr. West that his answers would
be substantially the sentiment OF what ne has
already published in letters 20 Plymouth church
that he who may read II is just this that Mr..
West is willing to join communion with Plymouth
church when he is satisfied OF the purity
and innocence Of the pastor The verdict in
the trial Of Tilton vs. Beecher has not
given him this satisfaction HIS soul IS still troubled
with doubt and anxiety and he thinks his character
Christian, God fearing and self respecting man
would be mperied by his continuing any longer 70
hold fellowship with a church over which a
pastor presided against whom such grave and rs
yet disproven charges existed those against Henry
Ward Beecher. He proGered In effect the foregoing
reply TO the questions put TO him by the members Of

ing Of yesterday 10 have sstsfac-
tory explanation from Mr.. West of his conduct
for time past and no explanation

full and ample apology and OF his refusal TO
comply with the advice Of the committee drop him

heavier claimants who have had upward
Of 81. 100000 allowed them BY the Board
OF Claims Com missioners have had the
misfortune to be thrown out entirely BY
the ruling Of Sir Edward Thornton.
Some Of these. disappointed ones talk bit
