MINUTES OF AN ECCLESIASTICAL
COUNCIL.

Called by the Bethe baptist church
| convened at Colfax on the above NAM
ed date. At 500 P. M. organized by
choosing Rev. c. H. Mendenhall, Mod
orator, D. A. Holmes, Clerk. Prayer
| was offered by Elder F. G. Boiling
| The records of the church relating to
the exslusion of the following named
members were then read. Both sides
were examined. We, your committee
on investigating the condition and re-
cords touching Bro. G. Taylor, Bro.
Nelson, Sisters w. B. Battles and
Nelson find that the church has erred
by failing to keep proper record Of
this matter leading up to this time.
Therefore, the church recended her
actions and restored those members
to the fellowship of the church again,
which was done by the said church.
| We also find that the members
which were excluded erred by not
complying with the laws Of their
church which gave them right to
call a mutual council, to which they
might submit their cases, and abide
by decision. But instead they were
united to the fellowship of the CORN
THAN Baptist church in Des Moines.
We therefore advise that the men,
bers concerned in the matter make
the necessary amends to this church
by withdrawing themselves from the
Corinthian Church of Des Moines and
become reeonciled with the Bethel
Baptist Church of Colfax.
Since the second step has not been
taken according to the Regulation the
third step could not properly be taken
without a violation of the Baptist
Principles.
| The church to which the members
appealed to has acted very much out
Of order by receiving such excluded
members without due Investigation Of
the matter. We would therefore ad-
| wise the church of Colfax to take up
the matter with the Corinthian Bap-
fist church of Des Moines and release
said members from their fellowship.
AS to the Mission that has been
organized in this place out Of the Cor
inthian Baptist church while the men,
bers had an undoubted right to organ
lie a Mission for the purpose of re-
| ligiously exercising their gifts and as
socilting themselves together in SER
vice. It Is also true that the circum-
stances surrounding this particular
Mission that to have such Mission
in the little town one of the same
faith and order we are sure this is
| not the proper thing and 1t is not in
harmony with the spirit Of Jesus and
it cannot be construed being in har-
mony with his spirit and most flag
| rant violation Of his teachings. The
house that divides against itself can
not stand The Spirit and genius OF
Christ teaches us to let brotherly love
continue. This mission in our con-
ception is not correct because there is
at present in this town a regular or
ganized Baptist church. Their Is no
need of another organization in this
town of Baptist Denomination. 1t
should not be encouraged by any loyal
Christian.
This council would SO advise the
discrimination Of such an organiza-
ton as in our opinion it Is best for
the Baptist cause and for the cause
Of Christ and His Kingdom that such
q thing is contrary to the laws Of
Christ. y. y.
Done by orders OF the Bethel Bap-
list Church Of Colfax.
