BRIoos ON BIBLE ERRORS.
The Scriptures Can Not BE Considered
az an InfaliibIe Guide.


NEW York, Dee. s.--The Rev. DIR. c
A. Briggs preached last evening TO
large congregation in the church
OF the Covenant at Park ave-
nue. and Thirty-fourth street on
the question Of Are There Errors in
the Bible?" He declared that the
bible contained many errors and that
IL can not be considered an infallible
guide in the affairs of this
world. His opponents, he said,
admit the presence Of errors
in the translations OF the scriptures,
but maintain that they do not exist in
the original DR.. Briggs conclusion
was TO the effect that the errors in the
bible are like spots on the sun. The
spots do not obstruct the suns rays;
neither do the errors intercept the light
OF the divine authority which shines
from the scriptures.
