Kchuhcc Baptist Association...
Having given publicity, about two
years since, to certain resolutions
adopted by this Association, in
1827, in reference to several pub
lic institutions, we feel it incum
bent upon us now to insert the
following explanatory remarks,
adopted by that Body at their re
cent session, which we extract
from their Minutes for 1829:
"The committee appointed on Satur
day, to draft a Resolution and decision
of this body in the year 1S27, reported:
That they view with regret, the incor
rect inferences which have been drawn,
from the decision oF this body at their
session of 1S27; which have arisen in
part, from the misrepresentation of those
who were affected by that decision; ari
sing from the conviction that it would
ultimate in the prostration, of their fond
est hopes of personal aggrandizement.
And we are sorrv to perceive in the
words of the decision, that it affords
them even the semblance of justification
do object to the education of men to the
ministry, by the establishing of semina
ries for that purpose; believing that
preaching would thereby become a lu
crative employment, like the law, phy
sic, &c. If any minister, although he
may be a missionary, without the bounds
of our Association, comes amongst us to
preach the gospel, and not to make col
lections, we do not reject him.
The above report being read twice,
was received, and ordered to be spread
on these Minutes."
(jpElder Lemuel Ross is expected
to preach on Saturday, 12th inst. at Log
Chapel; Sunday, 13th, at Kehukee;

Arranged on the ODD and EVEN
SYSTEM, by which the Holder of Two
pensably necessary, lo promote what we
think will he for the peace and harmony
of the churches, within our bounds, and
to discountenance such practices amongst
us, as are calculated to interrupt our har
mony. Therefore, your committee do
recommend, the adoption cf the follow
ing resolution and explanation:
Pirt, We will not hold in our churches,
any member who is in the practice of visit
ing the Masonic Lodges; or who on any oc
casion, conforms to their custom of parades.
Nor will we countenance any such individual,
who may reside or come among us in the
character of a Preacher.
Secondly, We will not countenance any
pt jachcr, who travels within the bounds
of our Association, establishing Societies for
the collection of money, or who may him
self be collecting money, to support any in
stitution whatever.
Wc do not attempt to circumscribe the
liberty of conscience; every person has
a right to think, and draw their own
conclusions. Wc do not attempt to sup
press the liberty of speech; every indivi
dual has a right to speak or express the
convictions of their own mind. We do
not attempt to restrain the liberty of any
man; he njay give his money where, and
to whom he pleases. We do not object
to the spread of the I3ible, by all fair
and honorable means, but pray for its
extension bv means which God may
bless and own. Wo do not object to the
support of the ministry, on the gospel
plan; but earnestly recommend it to the
direct and immediate attention of all the
deacons in this Association; whose busi
ness God has made it, to see to this mat
ter, as well as all the monied concerns of
the Christian community. We do not
object lo the general diffusion of intelli
gence and literature, in the Baptist com
munity; but wish its extension.
