 from them in words of doctrine, and In all possible ways to endeaVor to render this church of their common covenant and devotion, on account of this trial of their faith more than ever before a home of mutual trust, forbearance, and helpfulness for all it's members.
 6-The council kindly bear testimony to the admirable spirit and candor, as well as to the clearness and ability with which the Rev. MT Brown has present. ed his views in their hearing; and we also witness to his overmastering sense of the truth of his message of the divine Christ for the life of the world. The council recognize the difficulty which confronts any intelligent and scholarly ministry of speaking the truths which may be helpful in lifting some minds immersed in modern doubt up into clearer light, without at the same time disturbing other minds happily settled in familiar ways of faith; and we would therefore place on record our conyic- tion that the needs of both these con ditions of mind should be borne unceas- ingly as the burden of the ministry of the word; and we consequently counsel and confidently expect that the pastor of this church will seek, in all possible ways consistent with his own inner fidelity to truth, to make his teaching here ministry of reconciliation for all in this church and congregation that those who have been disturbed and es- tranged by their natural interpretation 0f 1o1 evI of tc may be led to understand him better, and we appreciate the constructive aim and Christian loyalty of his ministry as a whole.
 7-The council, having come to this result. render to all parties this admo- milton and advice in the firm belief that there is nothing in the differences which have been laid before them which can not be removed, and which should not be forgotten, in the exercise of mutual confidence and forbearance; and we would express our earnest hope that the future of this ancient church, and the further ministry of this young bro- ther, already beloved of many, may prove to be filled with the fruits of grace, love and peace.

 His calm and perfect demeanor i'm
 pressed the audience. He spoke as fol- lows:
 MT. Moderator and Members of the Council--In behalf of this church I de- sire to extend to you my deepest thanks for the earnest words you have ad- dressed to us, and so far as they relate to me I shall endeavor to abide by them"
 When MT. Brown had taken his seat the audience could scarcely refrain from applauding.
 Mr. Marsh of the minority then arose and said:
 "In behalf of the opposition I heartily endorse every word our pastor has said, and I want to say in regard to what I said of Deacon Dowd's remarks to me in the Sunday school that I did that
 brother an injustice yesterday. He had apologized to me for what happen ed there and as openly did him an in justice I now as openly apologize. l wish that he was here to hear me" 'In the wisdom of the council it has been decided that some words be spok- en at this time to you said the mod erator He then introduced Professor Brastow of Yale university.

 Dear friends, you are one. You 1 cannot constitute unity by any volun- tary movement Christ's church should 1 be conscious of it's oneness. We live

 Dear Friends; Dear MT. Brown-Will

 of your high calling?"
 The impressiveness of the scene was ! heightened when the aged pastor emer- itus Dr. Gallup, advanced to the plat 1 form, saying: 'I may without impro- 1 priety add my word of gratitude to the consolation for its lahors.
