Jobn Gordon, of the Western Ave- nue Baptist Church, makes the following state- ment in regard to tho McCarthy trial, with spo- cial referenco to what was done during the sccrot session of the Council : Having protested npainst the motion todo- poso the Rev. Floronco McCarthy, and having informed the Council that I would pablish and protest against its sccret session, I hog leave to submit tho- following through the columns of thocity press, for tho benefit of an excluded community, in justice to the Rov. Florence Me- Carthy, and for the lionor of the caunso of Chirist. The position which I tookin tho Iate Baptist Council bas boen anflv misunderstood, and my actions badly misconstrued, Many beliave that porsonal attackment blindfolded my oyos 8o that I wonld not or could not see evidonco against tho acousod. I was charged with trying to *fotier Justice” and delaying tho Union Park Churoh “in- gotting rid of him” Tor belng a “young fathor,” insinuntions were thrown at my tiaking active part in discussions, “L'o the first of theso I would say that, prior to tho ox-parte Counall, I had not'oven scen Mr, AcCarthy since tho boginuing of Inst Decembor ut our ministors’ meoting, aud thiat. previous to tio Ecclosiastical Council I hiad ovly mat Lim oneo fr o whole year, whon ho called, atter my anarringo.

Tho air was filled with rumors, and the lotter of in- vilntion told thal “chinrges of a sorious nature” ‘wero proforred against tho pastor. I could not shalko off some degree of projudice, but that es- sential duty was quickly and ‘effectuslly accom- Iplishod by the prosecution, 1 omphatically asgort that nowhoro during {ho trial did I favor the accusod, but justice mud i Christion right woro the objocts of my feeblo and now fruitless offorts, So much by way of porsonal explanation, Now I feol that justico to “4Ir, McCorthy demands o fow words on the man- ner of conducting the trinl (?) and in tho modus operandi in seouring verdiot, T olaim (1) that the Council lmmrcd important Tuptist ushge in procoeding with tho trial, know- “ing that the ncoused had not beon provided with proper specilleations to the charges proferrod 2gaivat him, andbeing informed that the chargos . hied novor been read ot o church-mecting, nor woro over in the possossion of church clork, As proof of lack of ]n‘n[:er specifications, I quoto Trom tho report of the commitico appolntod to oxswino papers, %, , .

Boforo on- toring in scerot sossion, the Council honrd tho closing addresses of Mr. Beach for defenso, and Mr. Dorry for prosecution. Both spocclies wero 0od, but, when the sccrot session convened, tho Rov. 7. K.

Immediately ofter. taking ‘‘informal ballot,” o motion was offored—to tho crodit of our pastors be it snid, not by one of them—by o laymen to #gustain the informal ballot.” but this did not sound well, and thon tho voto ‘‘that it is the ronso of this meeting that the Rev. Floronce Ac- Onrthy bo doposed from the ministry,” or words to that offcot. Tho Rev. Mr, Eborhardt, of Temple Ohurch, nid in all his oxporienco ho had never known & Council to deposo o minister, but to advise tho church to do that, T used every possible por- sunsion and protest to dofeat the motion, and beggod the Council to take up tho chiarges and talton from tho East by the Union Pacifio at less rates than froight sont by way of Ohicago. This fact coming to tho linowledge of our threo trunk lines, tholr rospoctive Genoral Froight Agents united in forwarding to Mr. Vining a written protest, on the 18th ult., to which no roply was vouchsafod. Nino days aftorward, Mr. Vining was in Ohicago, when, in ensual converantion with two of tho Frolght “Agents reforred to, ho ndmitied baving rocelved thoir protost, said ho hnd not time to roply from Omaha, but would do 80 from New York, whither he was going.
