THE HEREsY TRIAL.

Tho Rev. Thoman Dixon Says It IL . Relic
OF Savagcry and Bnrbnrisu.
In his review OF current events before his
sermon yesterday morning tho Rev. Thomas
Dixon. Jr., OF the Twenty third Street Baptist
Church. said: "Eeneath all the cry against
Prof. Briggs and Heber Newton and others
knowing ones can read between the lines dis
appointed ambitions. narrow ,eslousies. en-
wings. and bitter personalities. 1t Is useless
for men to deny this. 1t is 80 patent that de-
nial is absurd. The world knows 1t. The
world does not regard the cant phraseology OF
ecclesiastictsm. On such questions the world
calls a spade spade. Such exhibitions strike
at the very heart OF faith. they are stumbling
blocks over which thousands fall and abandon
grace to the Church Of Jesus Chi ist. They set
back the cause OF truth sometimes for genera
tions. sometimes for centuries.
Tho haresy trial iS a record OF barbarism. a
relic OF savRgery. 1t belongs to the crudeness
and ignorance and superstition OF bhrbaric
times. II smells Of roasting flesh. IL 1t not
time to Danish this relic OF superstition and
OF Christian lilo to-day Should not every
truc Christian seek with might and main to
wipe out this stain from the history OF the
church, Have We not enough dark pages in
human history made BY those who profess the
name OF Jesus Christ? Shall we separate still
further the Chrtstianity OF Christ from historic
Christianity? Should We not rather seek to
fill the actual Church OF Christ with the true
spirit OF Him who died on Calvary? No man
can enter into the trial OF hereto and take
Jesus Christ with him"
