Indeed, the only use to which the terms member and membership seem to be applied, is, in furnishing some ground for urging the discipline and excommunication of the child.

This, though urged by some, is urged in vain.
_Mr.R._ Other terms, in connection with members and membership, have been proposed, such as members in minority, members in suspension, future members; but all in vain.

The children of believers are certainly the children of the church, and such I devoutly hope and pray they may come to be called.
_Mr.A._ Seeing that the use of the term _member_ keeps before our minds a theoretical, hard necessity, from which every one shrinks, I think I will alter my sermon so far as to dismiss the term, and, with it, all sense of inconsistency in neglected obligations as to disciplining these young "members." "Well, Br.

A.," said Mr.B., "I will join you in submission." "So will I," said Mr.C."How good it is to be convinced, and to give up one's own will; is it not ?" "It ought to be," said Mr.A., "to those whose great business it is to preach submission.

But I think we did not differ at first, except as to the use of terms." _Mr.T._ I wish to make a confession.
