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.
