: mem bers of the council who believe IN

from the evidence, there was q great des
too much OF this, both with married an

! should not place their hands on Marie
women's bare shoulders, or make s habi
of treading on their toes in church; no
should they drop checkers and feel limbs
, or do a great many very naughty
naughty things that it appears some G

could not well recommend him to re

churches are entirely independent o
each other, and as three fOurths OF Mr.

him, If We hsd made any such recon-
mendation they would have cried out
what right have you 10 interfere witt
our matters? You are trying to dictate
to US For this reason, also, the
case will not hurt the Baptist church
as people will understand that we can
not help ourselves when we have Ju
das among Us. The first resolution was
adopted unanimously, while there wert
three or four negative votes on the sec

b had been guilty of untruth, One o
The main charges to this effect was
brought by Mr. J. P. Danneily, who

after he had signed the first paper ask,
ing for the counsel, and told him thai
Rev. Mr.. CathCart had said that be
could be sent to prison for seven years
for signing such document. Mr.. Cath
cart positively denied any such asser.
ton, when Mr.. BOtt attempted to make
out that he did not say so, but the eyi'
dence was too strong, and hence the
second resolution refusing to express
any judgment upon the subject. There
was also other evidence, that of Mr.
MacalisteT and Mr.. Slack, who followed
him In the company OF young lady at
late hour On Sunday night III 8 very
disreputable neighborhOOd. Mr., MacaI
lister said that he would not have liked
to have seen his wife in that neighbOr-
hood even in daytime, and he told Mr..

B1tt's defense WAS that he was going tC
look after the new church, although this
was some distance removed, aud there
were watchmen guarding it. The result
will be, no dOuUt, another split in the
church.
