SATURDAY’S MEETING.
The meeting at the Baptist
church last Saturday was an im¬
portant oiiH. Dr. Ragsdale
preached a very forcible sermon
upon the subject of church dis¬
cipline. His argument was
from the New Testament, show¬
ing wrongs against private in¬
dividuals and the remedy;
wrongs against the church and
the remedy.
After services conference was
held, and the case of Rev. A. J.
Goss was called. After receiv¬
ing the report of the committee
appointed to’investigate the mat¬
ter and hearing the statement of
the preacher charged with the
grievous offense, about which
so much has been said and writ¬
ten, the church, in order to vin¬
dicate herself and leave her es
cutcheous clear of even the sem¬
blance of tolerating in the mem¬
bers heinous immoral conduct,
withdrew fellowship from him.
There were many tears shed be¬
cause of the unfortunate affair.
Feelings of regret were express¬
ed by the brethren and they
promised to aid t'*e brother so
that he might soon bring evi¬
dences of reform and a Godly
life, making himself again wor¬
thy the confidence and restora¬
tion to fellowship.
The occasion was one of sad¬
ness to the church and humilia¬
tion to the offending brother,
but there was no other course to
be pursued.

was full. ^ I told them that there

ered by Miss Dolsie J. Dillard.
