THE SYNoDs.-During this month all
the Synods of our Church meet, except
the Synod of South Georgia and Flor
i da which meets on the 9th of No
vember, at Leesburg, Fla. The Synod
of North Carolina met on the LIST
inst, at Winston N. c., and the Synod
of Kentucky met on the 9Th inst, at
Hopkinsville, KY. The Synods of Mis-
souri, and Nashville meet this week
the first met at Sedalia Mo-, on yester-
day, and the other will meet to-day at
Pulaski, Tenn. The Synods of Yir-
ginia, Memphis, and South Carolina
will meet next week-the first at
Wytheville, Va, on the 21st, the sec
ond at Covington, Tenn, on the 22d,
and the last at Greenville, S. c., on the
22d. The Synods of Alabama, Arkan-
sas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas,
will meet on the week following.
Last year the time of the Synod of
Virginia, was much occupied with the
discussion of the elder Question "
This year, we believe, there will be
nothing to withdraw its attention from
considering most carefully plans for
prosecuting its work in the great ter
ritory within its bounds.
The action of the Synods of South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and South
Georgia and Florida, in regard to Co
lumbia Seminary, will be looked for
with interest and anxiety, not only by
ministers and people in those Synods,
but by the people of the whole Church,
who have common interest in the
matter

Conference do hereby recommend to
the respective churches here represent
ed that their representation and coop

Alliance be conditioned upon the excIu-

authorised hymnology contained in the
Book of Psalms"

IHE Southern Presbyterian not only
complains of our using the term " her.
esy'' in connection with DIR. Woodrow
views as to the evolution of Adam, but
it is fairly in a rage that we should
have uttered such judgment.
Is it possible that the Southern Pres
bytertan expects to stife debate on this
question Can any professor in one
of our Summaries take any position he
pleases, and demand that he shall not
be criticised? that he may teach what
he pleases, and that his opinions are
not to bejudged? Is this the attitude
of Columbia Seminary?
We are not singular in thinking that
the theory of mans evolution from the
lower animals is contrary to Scripture,
and therefore "heresy"; that is to
say (see the Imperial Dictionary, ga
doctrine or set of principles at variance
with established or generally received
opinions" Certainly DR.. Woodro VS.
views are at variance" with the gen
orally received opinions of the Presby.
terrain Church and the theology of the
Confession of Faith. At least, many
think so, probably Observation-Disclosures
of the clergy and laity of the Southern
Presbyterian Church. Have they NO
right to say so? Is it an offence to
take exception to Objectionable teach
ings in the seminaries? On what meat
hath this our Caesar fed?
This is pretty high ground, and the
Southern Presbyterian will learn that il
we are to be sharply rebuked and as.
sailed for uttering such an opinion, it
will have large job on hand, for it will
have to arraign and empty it's wrath
on the great body of the clergy and
laity of the Southern Church, and, in
fact, of all the Presbyterian Churches
We regard the doctrine as touching
a fundamental doctrine in evangelical
theology: have we not the right to say
so? Do we wrong DR.. Woodrow in sc
saying? We have never questioned
DR.. Woodrow's right or his conscien
tiousness in forming his opinions. He
has the right to form them and to ex
press them. We claim the same right
and, he may rest assured, mean tc
exercise it, without fear, favor, or af
lection. There seems to be an attempt
to put DR.. Woodrow through by coul
de baton.

1t would be laughable if it were not 30 pitt
able, to watch the cropping of the Central Pres
6yterian after DR.. Wo0drows positon-South-
eTn Presbyterian.
1t may be both laughable and pitia-
bic, but really, after all this talk, we do
not know what DIR. Woodrow's position
is now. He says in one paper that he
agrees with Dana, and in another that
he has not changed his position par
ticle from the one taken in the Address.
The Address teaches, clearly, evolution
for man, and Dana teaches that man,
both as to body and spirit, was a spe-
cial creation. If any one can char
moDise" these two "contradictories, 4"
he has great deal more talent than
we have. And most Of the Church,
we assure the writer of the above
discourteous paragraph, are in the
same "pitiable" estate of mystifca-
ton. If any Of DR.. Woodrow's fol-
lowers know what his position is,
they have failed to inform the public,
and differ widely among themselves.
The above is a specimen of the manner
in which this discussion has been con.
Quoted.

DIR. r. j. BBECK1NRIDGE once said to
friend, / suppose that there is no
book written on any subject, or in any
language, that | could not master in
one year. if should set myself about
it. But | have made the Bible a spe.
cial study for thirty-four years, and |
never open it that / do not discover
something new. 1t reminds me of the
great ornament. Penetrate as far as
you may, with the aid of the most pow.
erful glass that the ingenuity of mar
has produced, and still there is some
thing beyond"

1t would seem that the Central thinks the
Board In the wrong. that it fears its inability to
convince them by argument of their error. and
that 1t desires above all things to have their de
cision reversed. But granting the desirableness
OF this result, does it justify the Central in
utterly disregafding those limitations upon our
speech that the ninth commandment is expressly
designed to enioin?
These questions have been written in the
necessary absence of DR.. Woodrow from home
and without his knowledge, on our own respon-
slbllity. They seem to US eminently proper
under the circumstances The facts speak for
themselves. and they speak in tones of thunder
Southern Presbyterian.
Yes, the Central does think "the
Board in the wrong" and so do the
great body of our ministers and people
throughout the Church, including many
ministers and elders in South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. Some
members of the Board have expressed
themselves quite as decidedly as we
have in protesting against the action
Of the Board. We would call the at
tention of the "editor pro tenn" of the
Southern Presbyterian to the action of
the First church of Selma, Alabama
published on the second page of this
paper, heartily endorsing the protest
presented by the minority of the Board
of Directors at their recent meeting"
Ihls Is the largest church in the Synod
OF Alabama, and has contributed. we
are informed, more money to Columbia
Seminary than any other church in the
Synod We call attention, also, to the
letters we published from South Caro-
lima last week. A pastor from that
otate has since written to us and says,
have not seen man who does not
think that the Perkins Professor ought
to have consideration enough for the
Church to resign" While writing this
paragraph we have received from an
other pastor in the same State a letter
IN which he says: 81 am pleased with
the manner you have conducted the
discussion on evolution. AS graduate
OF Columbia Seminary desire to thank
you and bid you God speed l hope
you will push the fight until no one in
our Church will be willing to tolerate
such teachings" Such "facts speak
for themselves, and they speak in TONES
OF THUNDER"
If the "editor pro tenn" would en-
deavor to reply to our arguments in
stead of indulging in such gratuitous
and unwarrantable charges as that of
bearing false witness, he would com
mand more respect from the Christian
public, even if he should not accomplish
anything more for his cause.
P. S. After the above was in type we
received the overture from Atlanta
Presbytery, Georgia. 1t will be seen
that by unanimous vote it condemned
the action of the Board of Directors.
The article signed 81. B. NJ (Rev.
Dr. Mack, Secretary of the Board) pre-,
sents the whole case with terseness
and force that are irresistible, and
thoroughly justifies the protest of the
minority, which will command the ap-
proval Of the Church.

1T is stated that the authorities of
one OF the older churches of PhiladeI-
Phia, with seating capacity for 1000
persons, and an average attendance of
less than one'ffth that number, seri-
ousiy think of providing for the shrink
age IN the congregation by building a
small church inside the old one, and
utllising the side and end spaces for
Sunday School work. The church is
situated in the midst of dense popu-
lation.

MANY HARD THINGS have been said
about us in the controversy about DR..
Woodrow's case we have simply dis
charged most disagreeable duty. We
can truly say that our personal sympa-
thy is with DR. Woodrow. We do not
doubt that he has been perfectly con
scientious in reaching his conclusions.
But if those conclusions are not sound
conclusions, his sincerity makes him
all the more dangerous as a teacher.

HAEcKEL, who wrote an anonymous
article on Evolution in an Encyclopedia
and fortified his assertions by frequent.
ly quoting from Haeckel, is quoted as
saying
without any doubt, a long series OF
extinct worms are our ancestors"
Now this is worse than the ape the
DRY. Still there is more in it than in
the other. For are we not often spoken
Of as worms of the dust? And does
not the Bible say "thou worm Jacob?
But who was ever willing to be called

The Presidency.

The result of the Presidential contest
still rests upon the official canvass of
the state of New York which is the pivot
al state in the contest, Both parties
claim a small plurality. The county
canvass began last Tuesday and great
many of the counties with light votes
completed their work without altering
the figures to any extent. The more
pOpulous sections and the returns from
the large cities had not at last accounts
been Overhauled. These are where the
conflicting claims arise and it may be
several days before the result is definite
ly known. The canvass is being watch
ed by able representatives Of both par
ties and we have NO fears but what
the result of the canvass which
ever way it may be. will be acquiesced in
by all parties. The excitement over the
contest is dying out and people are be.
coming reasonable again. Some of the
Democratic papers are keeping up their
howl of fraud, when the facts are that
the only Development that indicate
anything like fraud have brought the
effort home to the Democrats.
