We are desirous, if possible, to save the discussion of the question of Church membership from getting into confusion through want of a clear apprehension of the real points at issue. Brethren, we are persuaded, often argue on opposite sides who are really agreed. Take the following colloquy -- not an imaginary one -- for illustration : " If a man came to me and said, ' I am a Christian,' I would admit him to fellowship." So said a most worthy brother. Take his words without explanation, and the Church door could not be thrown wider open. "But," said a friend, " would you not ask him a question to ascertain if he understood what it was to be a Christian?" "Oh! certainly." "And if you found, for example, that he denied the Godhead of our Saviour, would you admit him ? " " Certainly not." " Or if you knew him to be living a wicked life, would you admit him?"
