barbor a single doubt that the flrtst ctmrch„n n..v,„,„„-tinr,/iU un3 nance I infer that this is the best polity "where circumstances admit of lU e«stence. TbetJoiTgregatiorral policy the rived directly and solely from tbe New T^ata«ne«u/nd is the only one to which is«**(g(S JtifBaid that in one of our large cities a few yews since, a company of earnest and simple, minded christians, desired to associate tnemselves together in a church, and they detecmffiSa tte* theffjrgftjizstifin should be as Scriptural as possible. Hence, they searched the Scriptures determined to adopt nothing butt what thair pjaifl commoft sense, enlightened by thai'spirit of

God, told them was there. They made" their confession of faith Very simple and brief. In order to be very fair they sub^ mit'ted eVeryCfhing to,-, a*'4« of,,'their whole number. When tlioy bad done their work, and thought their organization as perfect and Scriptural as they eoljid giake it,ahey Sillpd in th«t ministers aud irietnUers "of other denorafiiiatMns to see what .tbey thought of it. "Why," said one, with a sheer when he had listen ened-to their explanations, "that is the jnejWflBt-«&&-of. OJDgiregitioofclisi." In other words, these simple micded chris tiaos, desii!ingi-to.- fc«m _a ehjjrch in the simplest way, and upon the purest Bible ftrineiple^had became Congregational!*^ jw^boat knowing |t. any candid mind, whether tnere is any other,. -cbureb- polity under Heayen, wKeth'eV, it be with "popr, ciBirdmal and priest, as itlieii,"-6r®witfr bishop, priest aud deacons, Ar.^ith, bishops, priding eiders -and miniae^u, or wtth futons presbyteries, synods and assemblies, an

Two grand features'eonstitute Congrega tiooalism, Viz: the independence Of the local church, and a' popular or democratic form of government. Tp this may be added a third, upon which I cannot dwell at thy time, the fellowship of the churches,

The local" church, We hold-ris capable of deciding all mutters pertaining to itself. No other './ody has any control whatever, dye? it, and it decides, all quegtipn^ by 8 ptipular vote-. In proof that the^fiftrohes in AnAotnl!n*tim«a wpro inriflnendent and

Apostalicjtimes were, independent democratic recall one-or two familiar facts in New Testament history. When Judas' place among the Apostles was left vacant, Peter appealed to the church, the "one hundred and tfentj to appoint a successor, and they, —the church, did it. (Acts When •men- wewe^to be chosen jto. look after the charities pf the church, as.i» generally supposed, constituting the office of deacon^ then '"The twelve called the multitude of the disciples" togetlieiffbe cTmfch,-and*bi^de them elect seven of their own number to tho ofitee, and'lhoy did^it. (Ac^s ?3:1 —7.)"

When difference'of opinion on'ceftain doctrines arose in the church at Antioch, the church ^Uia,de^««ftte^ndr sent thein to consult tne church at Jerusalem, and wher. they arrived at Jerusalem, they made their statement to the "whole multitucfe"'andjiiifheii"the multitude d£ the

chSiwhVha^ileliheiatec^.on,.tihe^ml1tterr

then "It pleased the Apostles and Elders with the whole church to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch," and with their advice. (Acts, 15.)

pline, Cnrisvs directions are to employ private means first for reclaiming the erring, and ir, case these fail, he says, "Tell it unto the church but if he fail to hear tbfecAwccAjlet him beuntq'the# as a .Ife A A ML /I ».M,kK-1 ^W.» 'Xfc nnt

Mr re- then, in brief,'is the Con^jregationalism of the New Testament, in apostle to the chose.i, the church does it—• jdsaoons, or if not deacons, in)poi$aa& oil!.-, ces are to be selected the church does il—differences arises, the church selects 4elegatej to go and consult a sister church, this cnurch in a body deliberates upon the nyutur and send*back,delegates with its advice. Discipline is to be exercised aud the Church does it. JSoL one word or hint of the superiority, or authority of any person or cla.-s.

Whiie, us I have said, we have a church' polity, and the only one that can bo- found entire iu the ijew Testament, we also have the testimony of history on trar -behalf.

The learned Dr. Owen says, "In no approved writer, for the spAce^f tWo. hundred years after Christy is there ady meu tion of any other original or iaibiy pro-. fussing church, -.but that only which is parochial or congregational." And the

end of the second century, were independent bodies, none of themjsubject^ck the jurisdiction o£»ny other. Each ehsroh was a little independent republic,.governed by its own laws .enacted by the people. For though the churches -founded by» the Apostles wert toftcn consulted in different cases, yet they had no judicial "authprity.-j ho control, no power of giving laws. On the contrary, it as clear as noon-day, that all Christian churches lad txjual

At the tide of the Rofofmatioo",'Luther hioiidf' gaVe a most diitim?t avowal of the principle of-Congregationalism.

In writing to the Church, Paul in. the first epistle, (1 Cor_, 5.) urges them to put away from among them one who,had been, guilty, of a great sin. In thefiecondepisttej.he".speaks of this as having been done" Dy the church. He says, "Sufficient to such a tHUt is this punishment which was inflicted of many." (2 Cor. 2: 6.)

It is evident that the while church waa„concerned in-th^ administration of the act, of discipline a^the wor&j "of many" are not appliabl« tb a single minister, or a presbytery, or bench of elders *hor can they be so regarded, except by a forced" ahd unnatural construction.

III. The third reason which why we should labor for pongregationaltfrninAJserii 'culiaradaptation to theeomiiium ieanSocieUf.

thef•

In this country the Old are strangely blended. At the ^aat have our old towns where family and family estates have been trsiosmil firomgeheration to generstton, ty seems planted upon foundation* nearlj a» firm and fixed as in the Old Then, beyond the reach of rail car

stage coaoh, we have the newly plant settlements of the Western frontier. Anf between these two extreme ef aid and new birth, we have all the stages life, and, of course, a Vast variety in society. And the church ii, or ought to b4 brougtr» in ccmtuct with soclety in' all itfe varying phases, and needs la p^y adapted to all. Now the polity of the Congra^ gational churches is just as well adapter to an old and thickly settled oovatry a any other, and is far better adapted thaL any other to a. new eountiyi. In Ne# England where it possesses the land,

Jingiana wnere it possesses the land, has vindicated its adaptation to society iii its more settled and fixed condition. Aji now in the peculiaritius of indapendenc and democracy it has special advantage in a new couptry., JPttt a company of be lievers, ho matter how small, into any oni of the new settlements of the Wealjiplan i% 'the'iyiiAj|wg ou rfei^ pbsiwtlons, or on 'an imnd of th sea, cut it off by days, or months, or year even, from communication with the rest c' the world, these believers wnpaijtini themselves togther are church wiUi ful power. 1

They may put o&eof th4ir number ||nti the ministry if need be they may havi the Gospel and all its Ordinances the]'

may thus promote their own growth ii Grace, ana laEor efficiently in gatherin| souls to Jesus. No outside mac^ine^

needed. Atlf pbwet1 is vested inthe cliurch, No Pope, no Diocesan Bishop, no Presid ing Elder, no Presbytery,, no Cqnferf ence, ot Auembly, nothing' 4Mit ~lha Christians is needed, that, without which no 'machinery can make a ehuroh—4ha| with which no lack of machinery can pre[ vent its bung a church. It tnie tbai other churcnes may and do start in the same manner but then they, sta^ai Congregational, and deed a Way'' their rights afterwards—% clewjpcoof ihat^the Congr^ational polity is "boat adapted to new counter. V^h^.4e^|ltoerai AssemKy. ahe o^ihe ^JKrlH^eriah Churches'•Was held in Chicago, one of th Doctors of Divinity from the WfptM paitof New York State, reported Jbi they had, found a community in whl_ were a number of Christians sulfidehtl: large to constitue a church, but there wi no material out of which to make 'Elderl and that hence they had thought it best te organizeit a Congreg^tionai churoh»»nd Wait

tsf

its. thuty»nine Article* nd_ men ^iOb accept these, at least tacitly or by iityliT cation the Preshjrterian Charonu,«i!a& with its Articles fiilingthirty-threa ters the Kbthodist -.with its Bottk of cipline. The Congregationar "Chore' comes with the Bible only, and tells theat communities to exercise their own Qod' given -tight of freedom of conscienee. and it says with. Paul to th&jailor, "Believe on th^ Lord Jesus Christ and '-thod thaty. be saved "'and, when ottc« the mambere of this commanity have taken Jesus for their Saviour ana Master, and apply for church privileges, as Philip said to the eunuch when asked "what doth hinder me to be baptised?" they say "If thoh believest with all* thine heart tbda mayest." In other words, it says to them, Take Christ for your Saviour and form your own creed and associate yourselves, in any way which seems to you best. It imposes nothing but acceptance of the Bible as thejrule of faith|ana praotice, and trust in the Lord. Jesus Christ as the

Savrour. Now, in large communities, enough christians to form a strong church may be found all of whom believe thirty-nine articles,or thirty-three chapters of article*, but-^orir neW cotnmunity,"Saying nothing of theprinciple,*- something more pliable is neeafed, or christians cannot be bound together for religious-purposes «ad hence they must remain without the ordinances and religious worship, or form themselves into several weak churchos, each struggling for life, often by necessity,also Strug* gling each for the death of tbe other. The Congregational polity, leaving the church to be its own judge of what is essential to its creed, and allowing all to have a YOide anil vote in the matter, is jutt adapted tb this state of things.

And when we consider the vast amount of the pioneer wofk which th£~chut£h has to do, society ever pushing its way into the wilderness and the church bound to follow it-with the gospel, and when, we consider the need that tbe-^WOricbe sir ell done, and tbe need of men so that welatnnot spare two or three to do.the work ot one, when we consider thee* things and with them tbe fact that we have a church* polity just adapted to this sort of work, oertaiaiy it becomes our duty todo-atil in our power to spread this church poUty,— to plant Congregational churches all waste places and in alipiaoes oCoutncnanding iaduence in our land.

IV. Another reason for effort to spread Congregationalism in America iafaond in itt harmony with the spirit of freedom.

Freedom of conscience iu one of the object* which brought the early aetttu* tothia ooaatry, and it is an object which is aoaght by BUT who Suck toodr thorw at the present d^y. And freedom at eonscieitce is getttag to have a nfti Sieaning than freedom frooa the iatorfawca of elrll tiovsrmnent. Ilea am bwginalag to feel l» most e&raeat Cbristiaa mmn, too—that tlwy have the right, and wiUhara tho priTilegsof frsadoi of opinion, or JTceedom of consoiutee. ia th* church. That if they belie re 1B the Lord Jeans Christ, and tako Him for their sorter MAjMwter, that they Jure aright to farm their ownjadg" ment'Mto- what the Bible teachee ertaoaraiag'

Again, the other element of Coagregaf tionalism, its democracy, adapts it to anC ther phrase of American society, 'ditpecl ally in these new settlements. Here mo largely than any where else Society is composed of incongruous elements. classes of society, men. with nil serts clf notions, with a variety of prriudtcw ana widely varying education, flock to the new countries.
