Recollections of the Late J. G. Bellett Chapter 2

1 year ago

You will find this talked about at the end of this chapter.
About two years after my brother’s death another great trouble came into my dear father’s life, caused by the division which took place amongst the Brethren who had “hitherto been united in Christian love and service.

The controversy assumed a grave form. Decided judgments had to be formed and acted upon, and much sorrow followed in the separation (in many instances) of close and tried friends. My father’s judgment was not shared by the greater number of those amongst whom he had ministered for so many years in Dublin, and by whom he was greatly beloved. Many meetings for conference were held; and I well remember the pain and anxiety he suffered.

The controversy that arose about the writings of Mr. Benjamin Newton had already taken place; and this was consequent upon it.
