which does not belong to any man, or body of men; it is a relic of the "Roman Church,"--an usurpation of the "Mother of harlots, and abominations of the earth." And notwithstanding this power has been crippled, at least in a political sense, yet, some of her relatives ("harlots") are "following in the footsteps of their illustrious predecessor," as the following will show: _Resolved_, That the peculiarities of that theory denominated _Millerism_, together with all of its modifications, are contrary to the standards of the Church, and as such, we are pledged to banish them away." There is nothing said about its being contrary to the Bible, but, contrary to the _standards of the Church_. This, as one writer remarks, "savors a little of the little horn." _For Correction._--This relates to church discipline, and church government. "There is not," says Charles Beecher, "an offence against Christ, nor against the cause of Christ, whether in the church simple, or aggregate, which cannot be brought to conviction just as far, by the use of the Bible alone, as God ever intended to have it convicted; and if there be an offence which cannot be thus convicted, it is not an offence against Christ, but against a human figment, and such an offence--let it be committed." If the Bible is a sufficient rule of faith and practice, every thing used as a substitute is an innovation. We have no right to make any _tests_; all that are necessary to salvation, may be found in the Bible. All creeds, from the Thirty-nine Articles down to the most simple, as used by Adventists, are wrong. Not that they contain no truth; but the principle is wrong. It is the same in every instance. A person, to join the Church of England, must approve of its creed;--and it is the same with some Adventists, as the following from one of our model Churches will show: "ANY PERSON OR PERSONS WISHING TO BECOME MEMBERS OF THIS CHURCH, APPROVING ITS DECLARATION OF FAITH AS RECORDED IN THE CHURCH-BOOK, WILL MAKE SUCH WISH KNOWN TO THE COMMITTEE OR DEACON."
