94  MINISTRY    OF    REV.    MR.    CARROLL.
ized,    a   member   moved    the   following   resolutions,
which  were  duly  seconded  :
Resnlvecl,  That  with  grateful  acknowledgments  to  our
Heavenly  Father  for  the  blessings  he  has  bestowed  and  is
still  bestowing  in  connection  with  the  labors  of  our  beloved
Pastor,  Rev.  J.  Halsted  Carroll,  we  hereby  express  our
earnest  desire  for  the  continuance  of  those  labors,  and  of
the  relations  now  existing  between  Mr.  Carroll  as  Stated
Supply,  and  this  Church  and  Society,  until  the  same  shall
be  annulled  or  modified  by  the  joint  consent  of  the  parties,
to  wit,  this  Church  and  Society  on  the  one  part,  and  Mr.
Carroll  on  the  other,  or  by  the  separate  action  of  either  of
said  parties,  in  which  latter  case  it  is  the  opinion  of  this
Church  that  at  least  four  months  notice  in  Wi-iting,  should
be  given  by  the  party  desiring  a  change,  to  the  party  not
desiring  it ;  with  the  single  exception,  that  this  condition
should  be  waived  in  favor  of  Mr.  Carroll,  if  at  any  time  by
reason  of  bodily  infirmity  he  should  be  unable  to  perform
the  duties  of  his  office.
Resolced,  That  if,  to  relieve  himself  from  an  amount  of
labor  l)cyond  his  physical  strength,  Mr.  Carroll  should  de-
sire the  cooperation  of  Rev.  Myron  Barrett  as  Associate
Supply,  and  if  the  expense  of  the  whole  arrangement  can
be  brought  within  the  means  at  the  disposal  of  the  Society,
this  Church  deem  it  very  desirable  that  Mr.  Barrett,  (whose
labors  among  us  have  been  highly  appreciated,)  should  be
engaged  as  such  Associate,  until  the  1st  day  of  May,  1864,
leaving  any  further  arrangement  with  \\\\\\  beyond  that
date,  to  depend  upon  circumstances  and  the  wishes  of  the
parties.
Resolved,  That  these  resolutions  be  communicated  to  the
Ecclesiastical   Society  connected  with  this  Church,  at  its
meeting  appointed  to  be  held  this  evening.
New  Haven,  Feb.  18,  1803.
On  the  question  of  adopting  these  resolutions,  a
lively  debate  ensued, — most  of  those  members  who
were  opposed  to  Mr.  Carroll,  expressing  their  views
