was unanimously passed py tne CLASS
On Friday evening, at the conclusion
of Mr.. Doriand's course of lessons upon
Messianic Prophecy. member OF the
class made q statement ana onereo
preamble and resolution, as follows:
There is an impression outside Chau-
tauqua circles. and perhaps also within
them, that the expression or indepen-
dent thought in Bible normal classes
here is not common and is not to be ex-
pected. Whatever may have been the
custom in other assemblies or other
classes, we know that such an impress
sion of this GLASS is not correct, and, in
order to be correctly represented and
not to be seriously misunderstood on
this subject, it seems to me advisable to
express ourselves in relation to 1t and,
more or less, to this effect;
by c. T. Dorland, LII. b., upon Messiah
ic Prophecy, before the Bible normal
class in the Chautauqua assembly at
Long Beach, Cal, for ten days, from
July IA to July "a. 1885, he has uniform
ly pursued the Bible students best plan,
asking repeatedly and habitually,
What does this Scripture teach?' rather
than asserting to what the theologians
have usually taught about it; and,
whereas, he has constantly pursued this
course, Notwithstanding the fact that
he has not always been in accord with
the beliefs of the several churches to
which we belong. nor yet in full harmony
with the creed of that denomination
with which he is himself connected; and.
whereas. we individually seek the truth
and seek it Independently, therefore,
Resolved. That we recognize in his
way our best method; that we deem 1t
due alike to him, to ourselves and the
ChautauQua management to express
our appreciation of his system of per-
sonal study and individual interpreta-
ton; that, in consideration of the cam
dor and frankness with which he has
expressed his personal interpretations
and opinions, we do now tender to him
vote of thanks, heartily and unani-
mously'
All of the foregoing was cordially in
dorsed and adopted by his large class.
AT 1880 o'clock an adjourned business
meeting was called to order by President
Weller, who stated that at the business
meeting yesterday afternoon no action
was taken empowering the executive
committee to incorporate the Chautau-
qua assembly but only to investigate
the matter. and that, therefore, steps
should be taken empowering this COM
mittee to act. After some discussion.
the following resolution was read and
unanimously adopted:
Whereas. no previous acts with refer
ence to Incorporation having been COM
pleted
Resolved, That this meeting hereby
declares all such previous actions null
and void and of no binding force upon
this assembly: and be it further
Resolved. That this present board are
directed to proceed at once to carry out
this recommendation of this assembly.
to-wit that steps be taken looking to
the Incorporation of the association"
A resolution also carried unanimously
to the effect that the secretary forward
to Rev. P. T. Crawford and Judge A. ].
