Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Union With Other Churches: Proceedings in General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland, May 26, and 27, 1870, With an Appendix, Containing the Various Formulas, Bases of Colonial Union, Dr. Cairns´ Letter, and Historical Notes This pamphlet is published by a Committee of Elders of the Free Church favourable to the present Union movement. It seems to them that the time has come when the subject must be studied by the membership of the Church in general, who have hitherto been patiently and respectfully waiting till the Assembly´s Committee should have completed its Report. That Report has now been sent down to the Presbyteries of our Church, accompanied by a request for an expression of opinion on this point: Whether there is any objection in principle to a Union on the basis of the Standards as at present received by the several Churches. At this crisis in the history of the Union movement, it is of the utmost consequence that the Church should be aroused to a sense of the greatness of the opportunity now before her, and the momentous issues which must hang on the decision she is about to make. The question must be fairly, calmly, and intelligently faced. With a view to this, it has been deemed right to print and circulate widely the speeches delivered in last General Assembly on both sides of the Union question, as corrected for the Blue Book by the speakers themselves. It must not be forgotten that the precise point under discussion was : whether the Report of the Committee on Union should be sent down to Presbyteries, and whether anything had been brought out in the course of the negotiations to preclude the idea of Union upon the Standards being so much as entertained. This was the only question on which the Assembly was asked to pronounce, and we arc confident that every impartial man will admit that the judgment which it gave on that point was a sound one. Much of the speaking, however, was very wide of the mark. There was a constant tendency, especially on the part of those opposed to Union, to go into the whole merits of the question; and to a certain extent the speakers in favour of Union were compelled to follow them. One incidental advantage arising from this irregularity is, that the debate, as now published, gives a more comprehensive view of the entire subject than it would otherwise have done. Still the render will do well to bear in mind what was the real matter in debate. And if he finds some anti-union argument unanswered, let him consider whether the reason may not be, not that it was unanswerable, hut that it was irrelevant - that it had no real bearing on the point in hand.
