Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address on Congregationalism: As Affected by the Declarations of the Advisory Council
The fact having become public, by no agency of mine, that I have resigned prominent offices in the Congregational communion, and it having been naturally inferred by the public that I am not in sympathy with recent acts and utter anoes of those appearing to represent that communion, it seems proper that I Should state distinctly the grounds of my objection to these, and my reasons for withdrawing from the positions which I had held. As to the personal charges which have been so long urged against the pastor of the Ply mouth Church, I have never taken any part in the loud and painful public discussion; and I certainly shall not now begin. But I have some thoughts, which to me seem just, on the relation of the Result of the recent Council to the general scheme of Congregational government and these I am not unwilling to present. Of course, they express only my opinions; and I have no smallest right or wish to do more than state them, for others to think of. But they are sincerely entertained, and over my action must be controlling.
