NEW York March 10. The Church
OF the Pilgrims, Of which Rev. DIR.
Storrs is pastor, was crowded last night
by a congregation anxious TO hear the
views which ii had been announced he
would deliver In regard to the recent
Advisory Council and It's decisions.
The usual Sunday evening sermon was
dispensed with, and instead, DR.. Storrs
read his statement on the subject in
question. AS 1t had been said that he
was not in sympathy with Congrega-
tionalism, 1t seemed proper he should
give his reasons for his withdrawing
from the position of President
of the American Congregational
Union and mbership in the Board
of Directors. In regard to the trou.
bles ofPlymouth Church, he had never
taken any part in them and would not
do so now. He characterized the re.
cent Advisory Council, although COM
posed of a very intelligent body of
men, as one of no great moral weight
1t was large in membership, however,
and represented constituency of
thirty-four thousand six hundred and
eleven. He thought that the previous
Congregational Council had much
more weight, because it was not COM
posed of delegates known to be favora-
BILE to Plymouth Church. He knew
there were in the late Council very
many delegates favorable TO Plymouth
Church, aud this fact would throw
some light on the strange result
arrived at. He referred to the fact
that while here the delegates were
specially cared for by the Plymouth
Church. He condemned the rules laid
down by this Council for the admis-
sion of members and guidance of Con-
gregational Churches. He condemned
the construction of the manner of
communion which opens its doors to
all who sought admittance aud exClud-
ed the examination by the Church OF
the forger, the adulterer and the
inaligner, merely dropping their names
from the roll on account of absence
from the Church. He thought the re-
cent Advisory Council improper, as il
tended to cause innumberable councils
to be called. He thought the
Council had, without intention, heap
ed dirt on the great doctrines of the
Lord and had spread its protecting
wings over the pastor the Plymouth
Church. According to the doctrine of
the Catholic Church, of unchristian
character of the prist made no differ
ence to the member in so far as the
efficiency of the sacrament was con-
cerned, but 1t would be hard to make
Protestants accept such view. Such
council as had been called would
have about as much effect as q brush
of feathers in clearing ont mine.
The request from the Church in An
dover to Plymouth Church was per-
fectly proper, and the Council vert
out of its way to deal with the matter.
The Council had no more right to deal
with the matter than 1t had to con-
duct the trial of General Babcock.
