'''Mr. Burdick's New Pulpit: The Ex-Presbyterian Preacher Talks to the Plymouth Brethren'''
The narrative then speaks of the apostles visit to Berea when many of the people believed and 'searched the scriptures daily whether these things were so'. Mr. Burdick then commented upon the scripture and said that while there was no place of worship in the world, there were places for worship. He then referred to the sermons which he had preached on the two Sunday evenings previous. As will be remembered, Mr. Burdick left the Sixth Presbyterian church because he did not hold the same belief as to church organization. They regard Christ, as one of those present told a STAR reporter, as the church and believers belong to Him and are joined to Him.
In England, those adhering to this form of belief are called Plymouth Brethren. These doctrines have been preached in this city some four years, and the number of believers have increased from three and four persons to many more times that number. They are, however, still weak. On Sunday they hold two services. The one in the morning being a conference and prayer meeting together with 'the breaking of bread'. In the evening, Mr. Burdick delivers a discourse. On Wednesday evening, a meeting is held, when some brother delivers a discourse or a Bible reading is given. Mr. Burdick, last evening in continuing his discourse, spoke of conviction of sin, which, he says, is a personal acknowledgement that what God says about sin and sinners is true, and that we recognize ourselves in that category.
