REVISION AND ROASTING.
WHY NOT HAVE WESTMINSTER WORKS AS WELL
AS WESTMINSTER FAITH

TO the Editoro The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is worthy of note that thus far only the
leaders In the Presbyterian Church have taken part
in the revision debate and that to date the rural
clergy have been, for them, unusually quiet Know
ing, however that fine grade Of wisdom is frequently
found in sequestered spots, modestly oier small
contribution Of that article.
Many Of the Westminster divines, who had, as
seems TO be asserted, such absolute wisdom In inter
pretng Scripture, would nevertheless have thought
il right to roast alive or otherwise put to death any
who disagreed with what they held to be fundamental
in theology. Now, to us in the country-and par
ticularly in NewJerseyit appears somewhat loSicai
to say that If these worthy gentlemen could be so
greatly mistaken in Interpreting the Divine Mind In
the matter of putting people to death they might
not be absolutely infalble some other points Of
Interpretation While, on the other hand, If they
were so infalble in formulating the Standards, it Is
but fair 20 suppose they must have been equally so
In the comparatively unimportant matter OF putting
heretics to death.
Would il not be well, therefore, II the Presbytery
OK New-Yorb could conclude its labors by roasting
alve-say Central Park. in the City Hall Square
at least a few Of the pronounced advocates Of
revlsonl The trainers Of the Standards would have
been willing to do this and. they made no mistakes.
I can't see why we should not follow those great men
in works as we'll as in faith" If this be done
/ would afectOnately nominate as the martyrs Drs.
Van Dyke, Vincent and (by all means Brggs.

SAYS: Why Is it possible that 1t IS not recognized
