PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5.-Rev. Mangasar
NJ. ManRasarian, who has been pastor Of
the Spring Garden Presbyterian Church,
one of the most influential in the city,
for three years, publicly announced the
doctrines OF Presbyterianism last night
and rendered his resignation to great
congregation, which listened breathlessly
as he spoke. The ministersaid: 81 have
decided TO TenouRee the doctrines OF Of
thodox Presbyterianism. II Calvin, Wes.
ley, and Edwards bad the right to make
articles Of faith and differ with good and
holy men who went before them, have l
rot the came right to make articles OF
faith and differ with Calvin, Wesley and
Edwards? have outgrown tie creed
OF Calvin. l will continue to preach the
gospel, but will not be held within the
limits Of sect or denomination.
| shall have no creed save the words OF
Christ. My sympathies are with all sects
having liberal views. My future church
shall Be q church governed By the people.
A peoples church-a congregational
church essentially, where no authority
comes between the minister and his flock.
By my act subscribe myself to the Con-
gregational doctrine. / indorse the new
creed OF that church in place OF the West-
minister catechism, which, IS pastor in
the Presbyterian Church, was bound to
teach. Ministers in Boston aLd other
cities have sent me letters prom
isiug to help me in this stroke for candor
in the pulpit.
/ do not disfellowship the Presbyterian
Church, the Presbyterian Church distel-
lowshIps me. Your creed says that man.
kind Is born and lives under the curse OF
God; that in Adams sin all mankind fell
and for his transgression God sentenced
his children to unending sorrow. Your
creed shows me Heaven thinly settled,
q hell peoplet few saints, many sinners.
Your creed tells me that under the eternal
law OF predestination nothing can change
the number Of souls ransomed. This is
fatalism. What need then OF preaching
the gospel? II q father decides to save
three Of his SIX children and consign the
other three 10 an eternal hell, what can
we do? l ridieule the idea Of q personal
devil absolute and forever existing. God
alone is absolute. How then can there
be an absolute devil? Heaven will swallow
up all hell and there will be no more devil
to tempt US.
Man takes his heaven or hell with him
to the grave. There is no escaping the
punishment for the violation Of Gods
laws, but the purpose Of that punishment
is the reformation OF the sufferer. God
delights not IN the writings Of punished
soul. Heaven and hell are states and not
localities; they are conditions into which
we enter. The doctrine Of total deprayity
is blackmailins Of human nature.
Sooner would l nurse an asp in my
bosom or q viper in my arms than believe
the horrible dogma that my dear God ex-
poses to unending wrath all his children
iorthe sins OF one Adam" After service
there was half hour Of Handwriting and
many fearful eyes.

spent an hour with the Secretary and AS
sissant Secretary of State. The exact
nature Of his errand cannot be learned
from an official sou,ce, but thers is reason
to believe that he came to Washington to
report what the Spanish Government is
willing to do in the matter Of purely
commercial treaty, and that he has not
made or entertained on the part OF this
government any proposition for the new
reciprocity treaty. 1t ia known that
Secretary Bayard thought the reciprocity
treaty, which failed, was a one sided
affair, which proposed among other things
to remit SIS, 100000 OF revenue annually
on sugar alone, without, in his opinion,
securing any adequate advantage in COM
pensatiou, it being also his belief that the
price OF the commodity would not be ma
terially reduced in the American market.
On the other hand he was alive to the an
noyance which the merchants and ship
owners are subject TO by reason Of the
Cuban system Of ouerous regulations and
excessive taxes and fines In the absence
of any commercial treaty between the
United States and Spain. To mitigate
those annoyances aud lessen the burdens
