Softcover. 31 p.; 22 cm. (Starr, A Baptist bibliography B2006) Response to charges by Dr. Pepper [prob. George Dana Boardman Pepper, The mutual relation of baptism and communion, n.d.], and refutation of rigid constructionism of Robert Howell's Terms of communion with the church, 1841. -- `I have quoted from these well-considered utterances from the trusted leaders, in our ministry and laity, to show that it is Baptistically legitimate to admit exceptions, in theory and in practice, to the ceremonial order by which baptism precedes the communion; and no man will pretend that there is an impassable gulf between those who admit the exceptions, and those who seek to reach the expression of that higher law, apart from which there can be absolutely no exception. I do not impose my solution as an authoritative creed or exposition; I do most emphatically claim that my procedure is perfectly legitimate, and that in the discussion I must be treated as ecclesiastically an equal, not branded as an apostate. I grant to the rigid constructionists, those who insist that there can be no exceptions, the right in the open denomination to formulate and defend their own doctrine. But I deny their right to do my thinking, to substitute crimination and censure for calm and incisive criticism, to bind upon me, at the peril of my ecclesiastical standing, an interpretation that never has commanded, and does not now command, universal denominational acceptance. I have felt for years that our doctrine of "Restricted Communion" has been ordinarily so formulated and defended as really to shock the moral sense of Christendom.'
