Excerpt from Spruce Street Lectures: Lecture IV. Delivered on the Evening of the 22d January, 1832; Of Church Discipline

The present distracted state Of the Presbyterian Church is owing, in a great degree, to the facility with which men of almost every shade Of Opinion have been admitted to preach among us. Some Presbyteries, it is said, have dis pensed with the Constitutional questions required to be proposed to every candidate at his ordination; and others have not considered opinions, the most remote from our standards, a sufficient cause for rejection. Perhaps I may say with truth, that none have been duly alert in guarding the entrance to the holy ministry. We are now suffering the deplorable consequences of such unconstitutional and culpable remissness.
