The usnal Sunday evoning sormon was dispoosed with, and, in- stead, Dr. Storry read his etatement on tho sub- ject in quostion. As it Lad been enid ho was not in sympathy with Cone grogationaliem, 1t seomed proper ho should give his reasonafor bis withdrawing from tho poeition of Presidont of the Amorican Con- gregational Unfon, and memborship iu its Bosrd of Directora. In regard to tho tronbles of Plymouth Church, ho had nover taken aoy part in'thom and would not do sonow. Ho charac- terized tho recent Advisory Council, although commpud of a vory intelligont body of mon, as ono o NO GREAT MORAL WEIONT. It was largs in wmemberstnp, howover, snd ropresouted & conatituoncy of 846,111, He thought the previous Congregational Council had much mora woight, becauso it was not com- posod of delegates known to bo favorablo to &’lvmnulh Church, Ie knoyw thore wore in the Inte Council vory many delegates favorable to Plymouth Church, and thls fact would throw some light on the strange results arrived at. Ho roferred to the fact that, whilo here, tho dologates wero BPECIALLY CARED FOR by Plymouth Church. 1l condomnod the rules 1a1d down by this Council for tho sdmmsion of mombors aud guidauco of Congregatioual churchos. o condomned the coustruction of tho msnoor of communion which opened jts doors to all who sought admittance, and EXCLUDED EXAMINATION by tho church of tho forger, the adultorer, and thio malinger, moroly aropping thels nates from tho roll on accouat of absenca from the church, 1o thought tio rocont Advisory Council improp- or, a4 it tonded to cause innumerabls couucils to bo calted, Ho tnought tho Council had, without inteution, heapod dirt on tho great doctrines of tho Lord and had spread protecting winge over the pastor of Plymaoutl Church, A YOUK-AND-AFTEN. According to the doctrine of tho Catholio Church tho unchristian charactor of tho priost mado no difforenco to the member in #o far as tho ofticfonoy of tho eacrament was concorned ; but it would be hard to make Iratestants accept such & viow, Buch s Council as had boen callod wonld havo sbout sa much effcot as & bruels of foathars in cloaring out & mine.
