church in union with or of the Regular Baptist faith and order.
Being well aware that the said Bethel church has assaid to have
excommunicated the said Brother Gibson Perhaps for hard sayings
against some of his Brethren, or members of said Bethel church
and for failing to hear the church or give satisfaction. Which ex-
clusion we think nul and void, in as much as that church has for-
fited her constitution she had no right nor Power to exclude our
member, and as Bro. Gibson appers to have been the only member
of that church who seems to have regarded with attention the faith
and order of the authority that constituted that church, he had no
doubt justifiable grounds of speaking hard of the church and some
of her members in as much as he had exebited charges against a
member of that church no dout for the Purpose of preserving the
faith and order of that church which charges the church refused
to take up and act upon, but went on to the surport of error and
disorder in Violation of her constitution. Therefore Brother Gib-
son, while he remained sound in the faith, a regarder of good or-
der and an honest man, cannot return with an acknowledgement of
having done wrong, except he should have used the expressions un-
der the influence of an improper spirit which though they be truth
is not in accordence with the spirit of Christ and deserves a Re-
proof.- Adjourned.
