now passed into history. The closing session

was in marked contrast to the stormy scoenes of
the day. The session was given over to a con
siderable extent to miscellaneous exeroises in
eideat to the separation of a body of this
character. Moderator Craig opened with a
prayer of thanks for the Providence that had

The afternoon session opened with prayer by
D)r. Peacock.
Dr. Thomas A. Hoyt. chairman of the comn
mittee to formulate the judgment
of the assembly. toek the plat
form to present the report. D~r. Hoyt
asked first to have Dr. Bakcr to, state the re
sult of an interview sought with Dr. Briggs
wiath a view to conciliation. Dr. Baker stated
the subcommittee had gone to Dr. Briwgs to
give him (.pportunity to say what he might
wish to may. They had a prayer in their hearts
that Dr. fIkiggs might say somether~g
that would relieve the situlation.
Their hope, however, was disappointed.
Dr. Brigg insisted at~enuously, pomitively and
Irrevocably upon everythmng he had maid in

Dr. Hoyt then read the report of the commit

"And it is ordered that the stated clerk of

sawe."
nOCTaIRA. ITATNIns.
Dr. Hoyt stated that in addition to this jadg
meat there were also formulated by the com
mittee doctrinal statements bearing upon the
questions at issue. He asked Dr. Harsha to
read this report.
Dr. Harsha said that the committee bad not
deemed it necessary to go into much detail.
The committee reported that they found that
the doctrine of erraney was in condict with the
Scripture itself and also with the statements of
the standards of the church.
As to the sufficiency of the reason and the
church as guides to salvation, thq committee
recommended that the assembly declare its be
lief that the reason and the church are not
fountains of divine authority, and that such
teaching was contrary to the Scripture and to
the standards. They found the teachings re
gardirg progressive' sanctification were con
trary to the standards of the church.
On the motion to adopt the report Dr. Bay
mond asked if that included the paper read by
Dr. Barsha.
The moderator said it did not,
Dr. titorrs said he had never believed in eon
dlemning a man without an accurate and defi
nite statement of his offense. He thought the
judgment lacked in this particular. There was
no statement of the kind of the heresy for
which judgment was passed upon him.
The moderator said the specficeations of
error were definitely bet forth.
THlE REPOET ADOPTED.
The report of the committee on judgment
was adopted by a viva voce vote, apparently
about the same am that by which the assembly
sustained the appeal.
When the assembly considered the explan
atory report madle by Dr. Harsha Dr. Sprague
ros up and said he wished to give notice on the
part of himself and others of a protest against
the judgment, as seeming to them an abridg
ment of proper liberty, a discouragsmcnt of
reverent scholarship and a judgment too severe
on the honored scholar who was concerned.
Dr. Haraha said he moved that Dr. Sprague
be allowed to present his protest. He mug
gested a.lso that as soon as the report was
mdopted. as this was a solemn matter, they en
gage in prayer for tho appellee.
Dr. Sprague gave notice that his protest
would be in the basement of the church, where
those who desired could sign it.
Dr. Storrs then proceeded to discuss the ex
planatory report in reference to doctrine. He
was proceeding to question the statement re
eting erraney when the moderator remarked
tha he as reopening the case. Dr. Stre said
be was simply discussing the report; they did
not want to adopt anything that was not exactly
true.
The moderator said that Dr. Briggs' views
were not under discussion. The report pre
sented the views of the assembly.
Dr. Storrm declared that he did not want to
hare it appear that they indorsed a statement
no cl rue.
Dr. Duffield suggested that the majority only
- EARI!Io TRE cLosE.
should discus. the terms in which it should put
its judgment.
"Th's~ so," said the moderator.
"All right," said Dr. Storrs, "if you want to
shut off all inquiry as to the truth."'

Elder R. W. D. Bryan wanted to knoiw what
beename of charges 4 and 7, which according to
the juadgment had been improperly rejected by
the presbytery.
"TeIre relegated to the history of the
came." asaid the moderator.
Rev. Dr. Rico asked whether the prosecuting
comtmittee was now discharged.
The malerator said that the case having been
endled in the highest couart their duties were
cnded and they were di4'harged.
Elder 3laacI ouigall offeredi a resolution of
thanks to the pr4oecuting committee in the
name of the church.
A writte:n substitute, offered by Dr. Roberts,
was adopted, but there was quito a minority
The assembly then adjourned as a court and
reassembled s a legislative body,
Dr. Herrick Johnson got the door and read
the protest which he had drawn up against the
deliverance on the queston of the inspiration
of the Scriptures.
TNK PROTENT RnEURKsD TO A CoMTTE.
When the protest had been read the moder
ator asked if the protest should be admitted to
the record.
Mr. Eudaly argued that the protest was dis
In, to the assembly. which had expressly
deed that it was not uttering any new doe
trin.
Dr. Johnson maid that any word would be
stricken out which was considered not re
spectful.
The moderator said there was nothing disre
spectful for men to differ in opinion.
Dr. Hays suggested that it be referred to a
committee to answer it.
Judge Wills said that under the discipline
the protest should be admitted.
Dr. Robert* called attention to the words,
"thrusting upon the church," and Dr. Johnson,
changed the expression to "imposing upon the
church."
A new member asked whether Dr. Johnson
had a right to change expressions after the sig
natures wete placed on the paper.
Dr. Johnson said they were merely verbal
changes.
The moderator said it was a matter for
which the signers were entirely responsible, and
so the assembly had nothing to do with it.
A motion to admit the protest to record was
carried. Then the motion of Dr. Hays to ap
point a committee to answer the protest was
carried. The committee appointed consisted of
Dr. E. D. Warfiold, Dr. H. W. Congdon. Dr.
James H. Brookes, Dr. J. T. Leftwich and Win.

TUE avisiow ovERTUREs.
Rev. Dr. Hoyt presented a report of com
mittee on the revision overtures, which was to
the effect that all the overtures failed to receive
the requisite two-thirds vote of the presby
tories, and therefore no action was needed by
this body.
The report was accepted.
Rev. Dr. Harsha from the committee on
church polity reported on a number of overtures.
one of which was in regard to deaconesses. and
the committee recommended that as overtures
on this subject-had so recently been submitted
to the Presbyteries and received a negative re
sponse that it did not seem wise to remit it at
this time. The committee, however, advised
that when competent women in full commu
nion in the church are willing to do %ork of
this character that they be given permission.
surzarLUors commITTEas.
Dr. Young, speaking of the reports of the
committee on church unity and co-operation.
said he thought the time had come when they
could dispense with one of the committees. He
thought what the committee on co-operation
proposed could be carried out under the
direction of the board of home missions.
He Paid they had an alliance committee, a
unity committee and a federation committee
and lie believed they could dispense with some
of them. Dr. Young created a laugh by refer
ring to the committee on uiity as "the com
mittee on courtesy" with the Episcopal Church
He said too much time was taken up in discuss
ing reports of these superfluous committees.
The existence of these committees should not
be prolonged indefinitely.
Dr. Thompson of the committee on co-opera
tion mid that he was a member of the board of
home missions and he believed it would be un
wise to impose upon it the work which should
be done in the Gelds where the presbyteries are
in control. He samd that as soon as it properly
could be done he would propose that the two
committees referred to by Di. Young be merged.
The motion of Dr. Thompson to continue the
committees was carried.
FROM NEw souTE WALKs.
Rev. Mr. Whittier of New South Wale. was
introduced to the assembly by the committee
on correspondence and made an address.
Dr. Smith rose to a question of pskilege to
protest against the remarks of Dr. Young re
specting the work of his committee.
The committee on correspondence, through
Its chairman, Dr. M. L. P. Hill, submitted re

of the assembly sign the petition sent to the
assembly by the International Arbitration
League. The report was adopted.
Rev. Dr. 8. If. Davis then presented the re
port of the committee on narrative. This re
port combined, as usual, the story of the year,
giving statistics and comments on the events in
the church.
Dr. Roberts, the statedl clerk, read the list of
ministers who had died since the last assembly.
A hymn was sung and Dr. Haraha offered
prayer.
Rev. Dr. James Matthews, chairman of the
standing committee on temperance. pr ucted
the report of the committee recomm inding,
among other things, that the assembly urge
upon their members the necessity of promot
ing temperance instruction, recommnending the
work of the agencies of the church engaged in
the temperance field, favoring qction looking
to the suppression' of the liquor tra~io in the
New Hebrides and other places.
The report was adopted.

the protest;of which he had given notice against
the judgment in the Briggs' came.*
The pretest read as follows:
We, the undersigned ministers and elders in
the Presbyterian Church in the United States of
America, declaring our honest belief in and
love for the Holy Scriptures of the Old and
New Testaraients, and our entire loyalty to the
principles ot the Presbyterian Church, desire,
respectfully, to recor our solemn protest
against the verdict and judgment of susp~ension
and against the proceedings loding to the ver
dict in the case against the Rev. Chas. A. Brigga
in the general assembly of 1896.
1. As involving In our judgment, acts of
doubtful constitutionality.
2. As seeming to abridge the liberty of opin
1on, hitherto enjoyed under our standards by
oeilce bearers in the church.
3. As tending, we believe, to the discourage
ment of thorough study of the Bible and rever
cut advance in the apprehension of divine
truth; and
4. As inflicting what we cannot but feel is an
injustic, on a Christian scholar of acknowledged
high character and learning, as well as on the
presbytery of New York, which had fully ac
quitted 5him of the charges alleged against
him"
A mtion by Dr. Dixon that it was the sense
of the assembly that no arswer to the protest
is necessary was carried.
The protest was admitted to record.
