writing of Mr. Kirtland, who evidently acted cease to publish his objectionable senti- as Clerk during his Pastorate.] ments ;
April 2, 1837. Session met in the inter- val of Divine worship and appointed Lewis Mills a member of the Presbytery to meet at Rahway on the 3rd tuesday of this month.
Resolved, that hereafter members of ses- sion attend Presbytery in Alphabetical or- der, and that if any one in his turn fail to attend he shall procure a substitute.
Members of Session all present except P. A. Johnson, who sent word that he was unwell and could not tarry with them.
April 24, 1837. Session spent the after- noon in examining the list of church mem- bers. At the conclusion of the examination they found that they could report no more than 450 members to the General Assem- bly, as now in communion with the church. With some individuals, included in this number, the Session were not sufficiently acquainted at present to decide whether they are now in communion with us or not.
Nov. 1, 1837. Resolved, that the treas- urer, Stephen A. Prudden, procure a suita- ble book for keeping the records of the Deacons.
Resolved, that Session will meet on the first tuesday of every month, at the house of the Pastor, for united prayer and con- sultation on the state of religion in their own hearts and in the Church.
S .* J .* , having in a written note request- ed Session to allow him, on certain terms which be prescribed, to withdraw from this church for the purpose of uniting with a Unitarian Church in the City of New York, assigning as his reasons therefore, a change in his religious views and sentiments ; Re- solved that his request be not granted.
Whereas complaints have long and ex- tensively prevailed against S .* J .* for en- tertaining and publishing sentiments at va- riance with our confession of Faith, espec- ially on the doctrine of the Trinity, and the other doctrines of the bible necessarily re- sulting from that ;
And whereas Session have formerly la- bored with him on that point, and several months since commenced a process against him, which they dismissed on certain con- ditions, one of which was that he shouldI ble, everything which it is important for
And whereas he is reputed to have con- tinued his efforts, and that too with no lit- tle zeal, to disseminate those same senti- ments, among our youth and other mem- bers of the church ;
And whereas he is further reputed to have published a book entitled "Two Short Arguments," in which he has attempt- ed to disprove and hold up to ridicule the Doctrines of our church in relation to the Holy Ghost ; and whereas he has given no- tice of an intention to publish two other books in opposition to the doctrine of the Trinity ;
Therefore Resolved unanimously, that he be cited on the grounds of Common Fame to appear before Session to answer to the following charges.
I. Denying the personality of the Holy Ghost, and ridiculing the views entertain- ed of him by the Presbyterian Church.
2, Denying and deriding the Doctrine of the Trinity as set forth in our Confes- sion of Faith at Ch. II. Sec. III.
3. Attempting to draw away our youth and others from the doctrines of our church, by publishing his views and feelings in op- position to the same.
Feb. 6, 1838. Stephen A. Prudden [the Treas. of Session} was instructed to furnish three boxes for the purpose of taking up collections in the gallery, and to defray the expenses from the church funds.
Resolved, that Jonathan D. Marvin, Sam- uel J. Doty and John J. Guerin be appoint- ed to circulate the boxes for taxing up col- lections in the Gallery.
March 7, 1838. The whole afternoon was spent in examining and endeavouring to correct the list of members, in enquiring after the absent, and in considering whether any, and if any, what cases require the dis- cipline of the church. A list was made of those whose names are still found upon our records but who are known to have remov- ed from our bounds, or whose present loca- tion is wholly unknown to Session, amount- ing to one hundred and twenty-two. Of this list it was agreed that each member of Session should take a portion and make diligent enquiries, for ascertaining if possi-
