the Bible Society. He stated briefly
the objects, the Importance, and needs
OF Inc work undertaken by the Society
The amount needed for their work he
placed al 1900. This, he said. would
enable them 10 put Six colporteurs into
the field. He urged the Synod 70 give
the work their support.
MR. RAMsAY's REsPoNsE.
Dir. Bamssy's case came mp IN order,
and he was heard. He earnestly de-
precated interruptions during his re-
marks. He said that IN addition to the
action OF the presbytery originally
complained OF, new charges had been
brought against him, and that his de-
fence would have 20 cover the whole
ground. lie then gave q history OF his
studies and the formation Of his op1n-
ions on this subject OF evolution.
He showed that though for some years
he had been holding substantially the
same views AZ he holds now, he had
kept silence for the sake Of peace. He
then showed why he had been com
PEELED 10 drag evolution before the
Presbytery at Abingdon. 1t was be-
cause OF rumors set afoat IN the Pres
bytery as TO his soundness IN the faith,
and because Of the action taken IN the
case OF young Mebsne, candidate
for tine ministry at Columbia Sem
nary, by the Committee Of Eda-
cation OF Abingdon Presbytery.
lie further showed that At each sue
ceeding step he was, as il were, forced
TO do what ne did. In regard TO the
action at Green Spring he maintained
that he was ready TO give the Presby-
terry satisfaction for al statements
made IL the public prints that
while he was allowed to make
explanations he was refused an
opportunity for full defence.
lie concluded by reviewing his legal AZ
gument. Here he claimed that the
third resolution passed 81 Green
spring-the one to which he object
ed--was not necessary 70 the yindlcs-
ton Of the Presbytery, even granting
that he had misrepresented IL. This
vIn6ication was embodied II the two
preceding resolutions. BE reviewed
