The Indianapolis leader. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1879-1890, 1881-09-24

Immediately after the death of
President Garfield, the oath of office
was administered to Vice. President
Arthur in his own house in New
York City, by Justice Brady cf the
New York Supreme Court, and from
that moment President Arthur be-
came the Executive head of the
Nation. 1t is the judgment of those
best informed that the policy of the
new Executive will be substantially
the same as that of his illustrious
predecessor. Some of President
Arthur's most intimate friends as !
sert that it is the ambi-
ton of that gentleman to-
begin where President Garfield left
of, and continue the same patriotic
and wise policy SO ably inaugurated
by the dead President. The new

shire, posted down to the place and at
tended the meeting. Lord Palmertons task
was to distribute prizes to some half dozen
Iblusling young ladies, and the whole COM
|pany present did not number much above q
score. His Lordship performed his task
with with his customary grace and good
|humor, giving the young ladies kindly pat
lon the head, but making only the most
commonplace observations. The reporter
waited anxiously in his place until, to hi;
horror, he saw the proceedings brought to a
close without any formal speech from the
Premier. This was more than he could
stand. He rushed from the corner to the
noble Lord who was passing out of the room

About twenty of the Presbyterian clergy
men in New York city have begun to use
the revised version of the New Testament in
their pulpit services. An impression exists
bin certain quarters thatthis is enthusiastically
illegal; but this is mistake. The Presby-

Ithe King James version as the only one to be
used in Churches. Presbyterian Churches
are at liberty TO use any respectable version

THE THOMAS TRIAL.
OF Public Interest
Revised Charges Presented-A
New Demurrer.

Chicago, September 7.-Interest in
the Thomas heresy trial, which was
less than was expected from the start,
has been further decreased by the ap-
parent listlessness OF the prosecution,
and by the removal OF the session from
the central location in the NJ. f. Church
block to the Centenary Church about
mile and halfirom town. The pros.
ecutor, DR.. Parkhurst, presented the re.
vised charges, which are in substance
that the defendant teaches: First, doc.
trines contrary to the articles OF the
religion of the Methodist Church, as
set forth in the authorized book Of
discipline. Second, doctrines contrary
to the established standards of the doc.
trines of the said church. Third, doc
trines contrary to the establish
ed doctrine and belief OF the
church. The specifications declare
that DR.. Thomas denies the inspirations
ane authenticity OF certain portions OF
the old testament, in spite OF the fifth
aticle of religion set forth in the book OF
discipline; that he denies the doctrine
of atonemcnt set forth in the second
and twentieth articles OF Methodism; /;
that he denies the existence ofan eternal
punishment, and teaches probation after
death. DR.. Bennett presented new
demurrer to these charges, which vas in
substance the same as tue preceding one.
DR.. Parkhurst made rejoiner, and con-
siderable argument ensued as to the line
of evidence and standards OF doctrine.
