PROF. SWING.
The Cincinnati Gazette has the following to
Say about tie charge Of heresy. against Prof.
Swing:
1t must be admitted, even when due allowance
has been made for the damaging results Of separating
sentences their context, the very apparent odiu1n
theologcun Of Dr. Patton and the possible denial By
a1r Coycr who is absent in Europe, Of Prof Swing
alleged confession that Prof Swing has departed from
Old Presbyterian ground. He has always been radi-
caly New School, willie DR.. P1;tons sympathes have
been toward the opposite extreme The latter gentle
man likes formal statements, while Prof. Swing had
mora guah than logic. snd gives freer rein to his
emotions than to his reasoning powers. He seems now
to b1ye reached what may be termed broad church
his FfeW6 the atpUCIucut ind kindred
doctrines approximate those Of Dr. Bushnell lie first
became popular preacher In Chicago after the IRE
where HIS congregation worafiped In q theatre. He
IL now the pulpit Lion OF that city, notwithstanding
he fact that his delivery is very unpleasant to srang
era He is erous-ninded 1uEu, and much beloved
BY those who enjoy Ais pcrsonal acquaintance In
ecclesiastical sympathy will be extended to him very
generally and most P1esbyterians will rejoice II his
alleged leresias be shown to have been exagger-
:te the result Of the msinierlreation OF care-
less language: Should he be acquitted be viii have to
be more cautious In his words to avoid further attacks
from Lis ministerial brethren.
