Tho Evangelical Alliance and DR.. McCosh.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
In recent number of the HERALD there is q
letter in which DR.. McCosh places before the
American public one side Of the question in refer
ence to the postponement of the Conference of
the Evangelical Alliance. Will you be so good
as to permit me to state the other side of the
case!
am one Of o considerable number Of clergy
men and laymen who on their arrival in New York
from the United Kingdom were informed that at
the instance of continental divines and some
men in England, in consequence of the war be-
tween Germany and France, the Conference was
postponed. for one object to this on the follow
ing grounds :-Frst-It makes the movements
of Christ's kingdom wait on the movements of
the Kingdoms Of this world. Second-It lets the
opportunity, which never can return, of dealing
faithfully with Roman Catholic peoples, &C.. when
their minds were heated by the Roman Council,
pass away. Third-f it pleases a few German
doctors and English officials it will displease hun
dreds Of the friends of the Alliance. Fourth-On
the invitation Of the American committee con.
siderable sh oh, number Of gentlemen have reached
dred pounds and three months of precious time
and two voyages across the Atlantic are small
matters to DR.. McCosh and his friends, they are
out that German doctors had o large
number of papers to read, so that the
Conference could not be he held without them,
II may be found on inquiry that whole churches in
the United Kingdom whose ministers are quite as
competent to discuss public questions have been
passed over. Sixth-I have seen nothing of and
heard nothing from the American committee in
explanation of these matters. 1t may be said
that ought 10 have called on them. I say no.
! did not come here to interview" any man, but
to see American Christianity. in its bloom and
fruit and to attend the Conference. DR.. McCosh
writes from his lavender throne Of compacency.
!, on the other hand live in the cold shadow Of
disappointment. Seventh-The war was declared
two weeks before we left Europe. / received no
notice OF the postpOnement or Of negotiations in
progress on the subject.
l want no favor in the way of money or hospi-
tality from the American Christians But ven
ture to think that in no city of the United King.
dom would number Of American gentlemen who
had come to their shores on the invitation of Brit
ish Christians for an important object be allowed
to come and go without recognition, or even the
formality of public meeting for explanation and
welcome.
l stood by the Alliance at its cradle. have
had an interest in 1t ever since. l must meet the
laugh of my constituents on the wild goose chase
/ have come on as best / may, and submit to the
Christian public at home the facts Of the case for
discussion and judgment. My connection with it
shall then cease. The Alliance has had its trials.
This il the most perilous of all. impugn no
mans motives. l would offend no mans feeling.
love America with feelings-but no matter what
are my feelings. / am, &C.,
