His See also:father, who was minister at See also:Bathgate, and two other ministers, being deposed not See also:long afterwards for similar opinions, the four met at Kilmarnock on the 16th of May 1843 (two days before the " Disruption " of the See also:Free Church), and, on the basis of certain doctrinal principles, formed themselves into an association under the name of the Evangelical Union, " for the purpose of countenancing, counselling and otherwise aiding one another, and also for the purpose of training up spiritual and devoted See also:young men to carry forward the work and ` See also:pleasure of the See also:Lord.' " The doctrinal views of the new de-nomination gradually assumed a more decidedly anti-Calvinisticform, and they began also to find many sympathizers among the Congregationalists of Scotland. Nine students were expelled from the Congregational See also:Academy for holding " Morisonian " doctrines, and in 1845 eight churches were disjoined from the Congregational Union of Scotland and formed a connexion with the Evangelical Union. The Union exercised no See also:jurisdiction over the individual churches connected with it, and in this respect adhered to the See also:Independent or Congregational See also:form of church See also:government; but those congregations which originally were Presbyterian vested their government in a See also:body of elders. In 1889 the denomination numbered 93 churches; and in 1896, after prolonged negotiation, the Evangelical Union was incorporated with the Congregational Union of Scotland.
