THE REV. E. B. SMITH EXPLAINS.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
In your report in yesterdays HERALD of my trial
by the westchester Presbytery there are some in
accuracies in respect to what is held by the Cath
olic Apostolic Church.
The defence, as stated was under three heads:-
First utter denial OF some of the points in the
charge as not held; secondly, the claim that
others were such as the Presbyterian standards
have never pronounced upon and, therefore, are
not subject to the Presbyterian censure; and,
thirdly, the acknowledgment OF others as proper
Presbyterian questions, IN respect to which it
claimed, however, that nothing was held in
tagonism to the doctrines of the Presby-
terrain Church. The counts denied were
the following Extreme JUNCTION, the holding
that the elements in the Lords supper are
changed in and by conservation; that the sacra-
ments become efectual by their own virtue and
the virtue OF the administrator and that the writ
ings OF living apostles OF coordinate authority
with the Word OF God. The following are those
pointa In respect to which 1t claimed that the
Presbyterian standards have not pronounced,
viz.:-The possession and exercise in the Church
OF supernatural gifts, the receiving OF apostles,
fourfod ministry auricular confession absolution,
bowling at the name OF Jesus and the use of the
sign OF the cross. The last head embraced ques-
tons within the range OF the Presbyterian stand
ards, such as Christs assumption OF the fallen
nature OF Adam, baptismal regeneration, posi-
biity Of the loss Of the degenerate and the
mcnt OF the Lords Supper. E. B. SMITH.

"In multitude of counsellors there is wisdom"

POndering multitude Of sayings, OF which the
above two are specimens, led me to conclude an
other opinion on rapid transit would not prove un-

inmate with this generation, cheapness, exempli-
fed by elevated and surface railways, might pos
sibly be admissible; although were their various
inconvenience investigated, comparatively tenn
pOrary though the roads would in that case be,
the beneft would be q matter OF doubt. So long as
this Continent remains unsubmerged SO long will
city-be that time 100 or TO- 600 years hence. 1t be-
comes, then, the city's duty and policy to make
Its improvements so endurable and free from
INJECTING trouble upon private citizens that
there may not be continual outlay for repairs and
damages, OF both OF which there would be no end
with surface and elevated roads. All thinking
people acknowledge the underground way supe-
riOr to the rest, its expense alone excepted. "The
best Is always the cheapest" and only ''penny

rejection OF an Improvement so maniiestly desira-
BILE and nearly everlasting. 1t Is an immense
dertakng; but our great commercial capital

citizens, and our now crowded city would be re.
neved and become more healthy. less accidents
wo1ld happen, and our trading community could,
with our merchants and labOrers and mechanics,
get to their homes in peace and safety. Is to be
hoped that our legislators will take into cOnsidera-
ton all the plans and select the best and de-
serving, without friendship or favOrs to any one;
and particularly protest against our city being IN
any way taxed; on the contrary, tax the company
so much per head for each and every passenger
transported by the ROAD and company that gets
the charter. In conclusion, give us a chance. We
want NO monopoly, but VIII prove that We can do
what we say. and even more; but we do not ex-
pect to lobby at Albany, or keep gang of
men, like the Third Avenue Railroad Company,
there, to beat OF the wants of the public.
