I have given him once for all what appeared to me to be a full and satisfactory explanation of the points at issue: let the Society—those to whom I address myself—judge. I was quite unwilling that the Committee should follow Dr. Molesworth to the field: I felt, therefore, the more ready to give him the meeting myself. I am, &c. CALEB WHITEFOORD. _Hamilton Terrace_, _St. John’s Wood_, January 5, 1841. NOTE.—“We feel some difficulty in adopting the nomination, not from _any doubt_ of Mr.—’s moral character, or of his _activity_ in his _ministerial duty_, but because we do not see that _evidence_ which _we_ desire to receive of the _orthodoxy_ of his preaching:—that _we_ are deeply convinced that activity in the ministry can only be useful so far as it is connected with the promulgation of those doctrines which are taught in Holy Scriptures, and exhibited by the Church as the _prominent_ truths of Divine Revelation. We do not mean to impute to Mr. — deficiency in this respect, but _we_ wish to be _satisfied_ that his _instructions_ are such as, under God’s blessing, will promote the _great end_ for which our Society has been established—the salvation of souls through the instrumentality of ‘faithful and devoted men.’” _N.B._ A specimen of the “hide-and-seek phraseology,” from the Collection of the Church Pastoral-Aid Society, presented by the Rev. Dr. Molesworth. * * * * * Printed by Richard Watts, Crown Court, Temple Bar. FOOTNOTES. {3} What other inference can be drawn from p. 39 of the Appendix,—where he says, “I have adduced strong cases, collected _with ease_, against the Society. I now lay myself out for them; and _request_ those Clergy, who have been in similar circumstances with regard to the Pastoral-Aid Society, to send me in their cases (_postage pre-paid_), and the _documents supporting them_.”? {4} “Every _Churchman_ belonging to it should withdraw his support, and transfer that support to the _liberal_ and _truly Church_ SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE EMPLOYMENT OF ADDITIONAL CURATES.” (The Italics and Capitals are Dr. Molesworth’s.)
