I contend that our church- es are not in fellowship with slavery. What are the facts in the case X Our churches are distinct, complete, inde- pendent bodies in themselves, subject to no human ecclesi- astical authority ; and being thus ecclesiastically distinct and complete, one church is not to be held responsible for evils which exist in another, especially if she lifts a voice of remonstrance, and exhortation to repentance. Such is the position of a congregational church in regard to this ma...tter. Is the position changed, by an association of its pastors with pastors of slaveholding churches I Here, too, I enquire what are the facts in the case \ Briefly these : I am pastor of this church. I am connected with an asso- ciation of neighboring ministers. This body sends dele- gates annually, to a still larger body, viz. An association of all the orthodox congregational ministers of Massachusetts. 16 This General Association appoints delegates to the Gene ral Assemblies of the Presbyterian Church, and their dele- gates are appointed in return.
