THE BRIGGS MATTER
Ready to Come Up Before the
General Assembly.
IN SESSION IN DExRsET TODAY.
the Question Brought in on the Selection
of Moderator.

All the GIG PresbyterIes Are Represent
ed-Tho ommittee Ready to Report on
the Revision of the Creod-some OF the
Changes NHade-EditOr Shepard to Lead
Big Meeting.
DETROIT, May 21.-The General Assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian Church convened
here to-day. The only important business
Moderator.
All the 216 Presbyteries are represent
ed in the Assembly.
The new Moderator will be selected
with regard to his views on the Briggs
question, and not with reference to his
views on the revision of the Westminster
Confession, as last year, so completely
has the new issue overshadowed the old.
OF the candidates in the field, but one,
the Rev. G. A. Dickey, of Philadelphia, is
affiliated in any way with DR.. Briggs. He
is a director in the Union Theological
Seminary. He is also connected with the
Board of Publications of the Presbyterian
Church.
Both connections will tend to defeat
him, it is said.
The other persons spoken of as candi-
dates, Prof w. H. Green of Princeton,
the Rev. Dr. Baker of the First Church of
Philadelphia, and the Rev. Ebenezer Frs
kline, of Hartford, are all unfriendly theo-
logically, if not personally to DR.. Briggs.
The Briggs Heresy Problem.
The Briggs matter will formally come
before the General Assembly after the
appointment of the standing committees
tomorrow. 1t will come up in two
shapes. One will be the announcement OF
his appointment to the Edward Robinson
chair of Biblical Theology in the annual
report of the Union Theological Semi.
nary The other shape will be the over
| lures of the 70 Presbyteries which have
asked that this appointment be not con.
firmed by the General Assembly.
The committee appointed at the last
General Assembly on Revision of the
Confession of Faith will probably report
tomorrow. The committee admit that its
| recommendations will not satisfy every
one. The conservative branch of the
| Church, who opposed all revision of the
| Greed, will read with satisfaction that al
| the outset it was decided that no altera
| tions or amendments be proposed thai
| would in any way impair the integrity o
the Reformed or Calvinistic system o
doctrine taught in the Confession.
Tomorrow evening will be given en-
tirely to church meetings, Saturda.
! morning to the consideration of minister
ial relief, and Saturday afternoon tn,
body will go to Michigan University a
| Ann Harbor to assist in the dedication Of
Mcmillan Hall, a PresbS terrain guild
home given by Senator Mcmillan. o.
Sunday Col. Elliott F. Shepherd, editor o
the Mail and Express of New York, will
lead great popular meeting in favor o
Sabbath observance.

the tragedy in real life, in which she
played such an important part, drama

on the name of Hamilton. 1t is a
