THE EX-PARTE COUNCIL. 133 At a meeting of the South Congrefrational Church, held in their Chapel on the evening of January 1, 1864, the above Reply was read, and the followuig resolution, offered by Mr. Edwin W. Treat, was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the Report of the Standing Committe just read, in reply to the Ecclesiastical Council recently held in this city, be approved by this Church, and pub- lished. THOS. HORSFALL, Clerk of the Meeting. The above documents were published in the New Haven papers, — the former near the close of 1863, and the latter on the 2d of January, 1864. They were followed by others, which are here subjoined : REJOINDER To THE "Reply of the South Church." The Sta7iding Cammittee of the South Church, in their reply to the Result of the Ecclesiastical Council recently convened at the request of certain petitioners in this city, have undertaken to bring charges against the body of tlio complainants and against individual members by name. Tlie petitioners desire to state, that in their action they have been influenced only by a sense of duty. On consult- ing as to the best means of providing a place of worship more congenial to their views of duty, they were advised that a Council convened to form a new Church, would have as one of its first duties, to inquire info the reasons for their leaving the South Churcii, and that to call a Mutual Coun- cil where both parties might represent their case, was the most suitable course to be taken in ]>ursuance of their ob- ject. No other course, therefore, seemed open to them, but the one they have taken.
