176  THE    EX-PARTE    COUNCIL.
doned,  at  least  for  tlie  present.  If,  however,  it  should
be  carried  into  effect,  it  would  have  no  perceptible
bearing  upon  the  interests  of  the  South  Church  and
people,  who  are  now  so  well  adjusted  on  the  principle
of  elective  affinity,  that  no  antagonistic  establishment
would  have  any  attractions  for  them.  In  order  to
make  any  impression  upon  the  South  Church,  the
leaders  of  the  new  movement  must  find  a  man  for  their
pulpit,  not  only  of  equal  talents  with  Mr.  Carroll,
and  equal  qualifications  in  other  respects,  but  of  sim-
ilar 2^Tinciples  and  views  as  to  the  proper  sphere  of
pulpit  ministrations.  If  they  could  induce  Mr.  Car-
roll himself  to  take  the  lead  of  their  enterprise,  and
occupy  their  pulpit  instead  of  that  which  he  now  fills
so  acceptably  to  his  people,  then  indeed  they  might
safely  count  upon  a  respectable  stampede  from  the
South  Church,  especially  if  the  latter  should  supply
his  place  with  a  minister  of  opposing  views.  But
none  of  these  contingencies  are  likely  to  happen  at
present.
