panied by many relatives. personal friends. and
students Of tho Theological Seminary took
the train for Trenton. yesterday. to attend his
trial in the prcshytery on the charge OF hcresv.
Thcre WAS a fun att, ndauro of clergymen. and
there wcrc even more prcscnt than ON Thurs
day. The Rev. DR.. Duni,ld continued his ar
gumcnt ON behalf Of the prosecution. lIc said
that Mr.. Miller had denied important do trincs
Of the Presbyterian Church. and that the plea of
the defendant, that no vital error had been COM
mittcd could not stand the test Of examination.
The accused clergyman. when he boenmc a
Presbyterian minister. virtually took an oath 10
sustain the doctrines of the church, and now
If he cOull not agree with the doctrines he
should step down and OUT from the minis.
try. II Mr.. Miller. when ne applied for admis-
sion to the min stty, had said that he did not
believe that the soul was immortal, that he
thought Christ wiis child Of Adam. and had
denied the doctrine OF the Trinity. the Pr shy
trriun Church would havo shown him the
door AMI told him to depart. A clergyman. of
course hae ri :ht 10 his own opinions, hut il
they ar' erroneous he has no right 10 promul-
gut thgm I'M tl' nlmrui the church.
