WHsmasjlev. Bi S. Mbran. D. D.I pastor
of Bethany Xndependent Methodist Church,,
has, contrary to the spirit and custom of the-
Christian Church, 1 thought "fit.B from
the pulpit 01 our churcb, to make charges
against several of the officers and members
of 1 the church, which charges, have ap
peared in the public 'newspapers, ; the
quarterly conference -hating met for the
purpose of considering the mattery dode-,
dare-aa follows 'vtv4r .i-?-.tV .K ii
That nothing whatever was saidO done
by aBy of .the official iboard, or by any
meinbi f of the church, that could justify
the extraordinary sialeroenl made, or war
rant the grobb attack, upon the person and
character of metMbers of the church, from
the PUtpit on Sunday vlast, and before the
congregation and without any privilege of
reply.;: We. moreover do solemnly; 'declare
that nothing was said or done in the quar
terly conference by the parties referred to
by name in the same i statements, viz:
Charles J. Baker and , Charles E, j Baker,
that could in the slightest degree merit the
charge of being ' "arrogant, unreasonable'
and arbitrary dictation."; And, moreover,
never was there evinced at any time by
those brethren a claim or design to rule the'
church, or to ask for moire ' than what was
due and with common consent 'accorded to
them by their brother members. !)
; We, therefore, do most emphatically de-;
dare our enure and implicit confidence in
tbeir Christian character; and our approval
and endorsement of their conduct and for
bearaace under i great (provocation. No
violence of manner was exhibited, lor any
language used by them unbecoming Chris
tian gentlemen. We, moreover, j declare
and hereby express ouraympathy with and
entire cootidence in the integrity, piety and
fitness of Jos. B, Hodgson for position of the
recording steward he now . holds! in the
church, and his qualifications for any posi
tion of honor Or trust to Which his modesty
would anow nun to aspire.:! in conclusion

of Bethany church on Sunday next, and i it
will be niled by one of the delegates to the

care has been taken to ascertain the correct

may be stated.! as ? fully explained .'below,'
that what appears to sbe ani irreconcUabie1
difference-has arisen-betweea: the pastor
Rev. R Moran, D. I., and Mr. Charles X,
Baker and otherrgenUemeni constituting
tue xoaru oi oiewarus. : -
The matter was first publicly agitated On,
Sunday morning last, when Dr."' Moran as-'
toBiahed his congregation .by .stating, at the
close of his sermon, that he would I teodfer
his resignation last evening; to take effect
at the close of the first year of his pastor
ate in September next. The reasons as--
signed for so doing he set forth in a -stkte-4
ment which he made and which' wasalso
read at the evening service; ." He said; 'that, I
the xausc, and the only pause, of the,ac(n
which he proposed to.take. was that he per
sistently refused to nominate James Bi
Hodgson as steward of Bethany church, pf
to' waive his right to make the' nomination,'
on the ground that he could i not j conscien-.
tiouslydio7believlngTiIh fpr
that office.- ' The statement continues to the
effect that Mr. Charles J. Baker, I at the
meeting where Dr. Moran refused to nomi-"
nate Mr. Hodgson, he (Mr. . Baker) arose,'
and, with violence of manner, stated that
in view of the position "which Dr. Moran
had taken, his (Dr. Moran's) term of service;
as pastor of Bethany church must end by
the 1st of September next, and that neither
he nor his family could hereafter hear Dr.
Moran preach or sit under his ministry, j
The statement then goes on as follows:
The members of the quarterly 'conference
will," I think, bear me witness that I lis
tened to this assault with great calmness,
though I frankly own it was the calmness pf
contempt. raiy oniy repiy was mat no threat
that either he or his son,! Charles E. Baker,
could make, and no inducement that Beth
any church could offer, would have", the
slightest influence in causing me to do What

theworld.like my Divine Master.rather than
dishonor my cpnscience j and disobey-rGdd'
in yielding for one, moment to such arro
gant,1 unreasonable and arbitrary' dictation.
The statement concludes as, follows: I
have. asked no man's sympathy. ( I have
solicited no man's vote to sustain me in the
issue I have made with Mr. .Baker and his
minions. .' I claim ho credit for maintaining
the ground I -have taken. ; To do- other-.

A meeting of the board of, stewards was
held last night in the lecture-room of the
church for- the purpose! of receiving Ithe
resignation, nf thn pastor. Dr. Moran pre
sided, nearly all the members of the board
being present.' 1 Before' discussing the7 ques
tion otDr,; Mqran'a resignation te subject
of the election of. Mr, J., B. Hodgson to
the' board of stewards Was brought op. : Dr.
Moran, who as pastor of the church made
tlie nominations for the board, declined to
nominate Mr. " Hodgson at the last meeting,
. upon, the ground ;that be declined to make
any other nomination, and announced tha
oflice of sedretaryj which Mf. Hodgson had
held, vacatrtt'rMdeciiriojras said to IjeJ

time before, to the effect that officers held

, , iHere in pur midst we have recently: had
scenes of strife and contention in the
churches,1 arising in some cases out of dif
ferences of . opinion as tp the . manner in
which they should be run. The latest One
is the Bethany church Warr- In this case it
arose out, of the; appointing power. , i Mr.
Charles J. Baker, who, as he declared in
his great Canton7 speech, " runs' ! Bethany
church, lias insisted upon the appointment
of a .Mr. Hodgson to the Board of Stew
ards whom the minister j Mr;. Morah, con
sidered an unfit person. The question of uc
fitness arose On an ; entry ' iu one of the
books' ef. the ; Church, Which: raised a
point of veracity between Mr.. Hodgson and
the 'pastor. Mj. Hodgson said that 'the
minister had "lied out of. the difficulty.
The minister therefore firmly refused to ap
point him to the board of Stewarts, and Mr.
Baker insisted that-he should be appointed.
Whatever' may be the original rights or
wrongs of the question; it seems clear that
Mr. Moran has the , nominating power,' and
that he bad the right nay, it was his duty
not to appoint a man hostile to himself,'
and whose presence in the board of neces
sity impaired his ministerial efficiency.! Mr.
Baker resolutely insisted on his own appoint
ing power.and threatened to dismiss Mr. Mo
ran and meanwhile leave the church with his
family. Mr. Moran has therefore resigned.
Mr. Charles J. Baker does not claim to be
a lay pope, or to be personally infallible-pat
least not in express termsj Inx,,run
ning" Bethany church he has run off .the
Rev. Mr. Williams and the Rev. Mr Poul
son. ; Now he has run off Mr. Moran; and
these we think ought to., make him, doubt
the "success" of his ' "running'' houses' of

1 Seldom' has ' -suck ardiscourse ever heen
preacbed by one" having so slight su expe
rience with the language.-: , Mr. : Mendel
sohn, we understand, has only been in the
country five years,' 'and has studied English
oh'yduring that time. Considering this
fact the sermon was a most remarkable
one in the purity of its style of composition
and in? the enunciation and accentuation 'of
the speaker. That it was a ' scholarly . ser
mon, one of great power and beautyy was
evident frdm the- marked 'effect Indexed
upon the faces of the hearers. -: That It was
a most eloquent address,1 burning into the
hearts of the more sympathetic among his
auditory; was . . likewise apparent. Mr.
Mendelsohn is at once 'a thinkerj an
elocutionist, and a popular preacher. f . His
eloquence ,1a. of the sort that is made np .
of equal parts of earnest argument and ap
peal and of pathos, bound together by tlie
bond of sympathetiojnanneraadl fused and
warmed to ta white heat by the ringing
tones of a Bplehdidj voice; s The sermon'
was first an address on Jewish liberty as
slowly won from-the ages,' and then an ex
hortation to his own people' to be true to
their history, tradition and faith. Under the
first head he drew a picture of the condition .
of the Israelites at "the time spoken of 'in
the text and context, and. then a -brighter
picture Of the glprioUS Maccabean age, to
which he!: likened .thel present prosperous
