Duration Itefnre the Conference. The committee replies to so much of the report of the Union Theolojical ssminar; beiir on Dr. BrisK' appointment or transfer to tlie chair ot biblical theology, at foilow: "Our duty is a delicate one, especially as the presbytery ot New York is trying him onthe charge of heresy, a-Jwe tnut not prejudse a cae which at some time must tome before us on appeal. The question before us is not that of his doc trinal soundness but that of the approval of Lis election by the assembly. We have examined the coustit ut ional requirements as to the duty and power of the assembly in assenting to or forUdJiug t,uch ap pointment or transfer.'' Iut Ite seltlei! Now if at All. Dr. P.itton quoted from the records, as well as from appointments of professors that have cunviuced the committee that the as-enil.!y has power to forbid the transfer. "We should have been willing to recommend the referencj of the subject to a committee to report to the nest as sembly, i.ut the control of the assembly over the matter ceases with the present session. We must act now if at all. We adm;t that in one view the trustees may have ground for their denial of the ricn't of the assembly to veto the transfer of a professor from one chair to another. Besides, the assembly is one partv to a compact with the Union Theological sen. inary nud must Oe cautious in actiu on it. Views of the Trustees. "The trustees of the seminary consider j that the origu.J appointment ui'ves s-tatus anu ttjat this assembly has a TtUx to for bid; Lut trau.fer simply assigns duty and with that the assembly has uo ruht to in terfere. Now while we think the assem bly has control of both, yet. in view of the cordial relations always existing between it audthe trustees of this seminary it would be proper to appoint a committee of conference with them to report to the next assembly. Disapproval Kecorauiended. 'In accordance with these views the committee recommeud that the assem bly disapprove of the appointment of Dr. Charles Briggs to the Edward Kobinson chair of biblical theology of Union Theo logical seminary, and'ihaf a commute; ot conference with the trustees of thai institution be appointed by the assembly ta report to the next assembly" There port was accepted on motion of Dr. Proud lit, of Baltimore, and the clerk ordered to have the report printed. Ho OR. PARKHURST ON REVISION. He Characterizes the eiort ou That Milyect. Dr. Parkhurst. who is expected to te the leader in Dr Briggs' defeuse, gave his views ou revision to a reporter. Said he: "Revision must come. Theology must grow. All things that have life must grow, and growth means change. I don't believe in tying a man or church down to ideas of a man that's been dead three hundred years. Changes that will com will recoguiu more fully the divine love in connection with justice and law of God." The report of the present revision committee as published could only be characterized by Dr. Parkhurst as "a damnation report with a gospel tall " Some Other ltuoineas Attendeil To.
