ANDOYER THEOLOGY.
The Amended Charges Against Five Profess
sOrs of Andover Theological Seminary.

Boston, Mass Nov. 12.-The amended charges
against Professors Smyth, Lucker Harris,
Churchill and Hincks have been sent to the
Board of Visitors of the Andover Theological
Seminary. The charges are signed by J. M.
Wellman, H. M. Dexter, o. IT. Lampear and
j. J. Blaisdell. copies being sent to
each of the professors, with the informa-
ton that the charges against them
were the same as those againt Professor Smyth.
The first specification alleges that Prof. Smyth
holds beliefs, has taught doctrines and theories,
and done other things antagonistic to the con
stitution and statutes of the seminary, and the
true intention" of its founders as therein ex-
pressed.
Secondhand Professor Smyth. contrary to
the modified requirements of Articles ii and II
of the Constitution, is not man of sound ortho-
dox principles and divinity, according to the
fundamental and distinguishing doctrines of the
gospel of Christ, summarily expressed in the
Westminster Assemblys Shorter Catechism, but
that he teaches what is antagonistic to the SEM
mary creed
Third-That Prof Smyth in the breach of the
requirements of Article d. is not an orthodox and
consistent Calvinist.
The fourth specification gives in detail the
'heteroioxy" of Prof Smyth. He holds, first,
that the Bible is not the 'only perfect
Christ. in his days of humiliation, was finite
being limited IN all his attributes capacities and
attainments-in other words, was not "God in
mani" third that man has the power or Ca
pacisy to repent without the knowledge of God
in Christ; fourth. that mankind, save
as they have received knowledge
of historic Christ" are not sinners,
or if they are not of such sinfulness as to be
in danger of being lost; fifth, that no man can
be lost without having knowledge of Christ;
SIXTH that the atonement of Christ consists essen
TALLY in his becoming identified with the human
race through his incarnation; seventh. that the
Trinity is modal or monarehian, and not a
trinity of persons; eighth, that the work of the
Holy Spirit IS chiefly consigned to the sphere of
historic Christianity; NINTH that the salvation of
men is not wholly by grace; tenth, that faith
ought to be scientific and natural, rather
than scriptural; that there is probation after
life for ali men who do not decisively reject
Christ, and that this should be emphasized and
made even central in systematic theology. He
also holds that there is new theology better
than the DID," which is bitterly opposed to the
Creed. and he has. in repeated instances broken
the solemn promise made when he subscribed to
the Creed.
