We, moreover, j declare and hereby express ouraympathy with and entire cootidence in the integrity, piety and fitness of Jos.

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 I felt tobeiiOTrongiactririnilhe issue this formed I stood, firmlv. as I still stand. dn! f 0ck of adamant. , 1 am ready to leave uetnany pr Baltimore, or,, it need.be, by tne grace oi uog, to leaye 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-. wise under, the . circumstances, r ordinary Christian manhood; common honesty, would be impossible; 'j-o ai 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.

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 worshipr - Wfr db not suppose, howeve,- tbat tie cauever be brought: to doubt bis. own' wisdom, and it is probable that be wilt make yet another effort to -supply peinany epprpu' witn a.PjergymaUii-wao wiu come up to his ldcau , . .
