Excerpt from Dialogues Between Two Methodists, Algernon Newways and Samuel Oldpaths: In Which, Attendance at Class Meetings, as a Condition of Church Membership, Is Shown to Be Both Wesleyan and Scriptural, and the Relation of Children to the Visible Church of Christ, Is Explained and Vindicated
The efforts which have recently been made to create a change in the Discipline of our Church, in reference to attendance on class-meetings as a Con dition of Church Membership, are known not only to ail a i' itin its pale, but even to many beyond it. The secession of the Rev. Dr. Ryerson from the Ministry, because unable to effect that change, and giis publication of a pamphlet to explain his reasons for so important an action immediately after, were circumstances which many thought would produce a considerable excitement, and that to the extreme limits of the connexion. This however, has not been the case, and is probably owing, mainly, to the prudent course which the Conference pursued in abstaining, as far as practicable, from all exciting reference to the subject.
