strong sentiment is now manifest to drop
the case when 1t comes up in Presbytery in
! October. In the interests of peace and har.
mony it is to be argued that his answers to
the categorical questions prepared by the
seminary directors are satisfactory evi-
dencesof his orthodoxy. The differences
between DIR. Briggs and his critics
tion and rhetoric, not of doctrine, for
DR.. Briggs has affirmed his faith
in the Westminster standards, and
he would do 50 ON trial. He is orthodox and
his trial would develop that fact. In the
seminary, too, his influence is orthodox. His
method of teaching the Higher Criticism is
constructive, helpful, and strengthening to
been closely watched for years by the
faculty. Many of them have been aues-
toned as to the effect of Dr. Briggs instruc-
tion on their faith. They have been found
Bible for its teaching The Presbyteries in
licensing ministers question applicants
closely and IL doubts were engendered they
would be discovered. But since DIR. Briggs
graduate of Union has been refused
license by the Presbytery of New York City
or of Westchester In the same it is told
two licenses have been refused because of
unsOund faith, one by each Presbytery, but
in each case the applicant was u Princeton
graduate.
Bright Prospects ofUnion.
"As to the prospects of Union, they are
excellent The endowments are perfectly
secure. As to the attendance, am glad to
see the directors disposed to consider Quality
more than numbers. But even the numbers
will probably be up to the average next
fall, and the quality l have reason to be.
lieve still further improved. have had the
usual number of applicants for admission.
We require applicants who desire aid to
bring certificates from their college faculty
that their standing has been above u per
cent. When this rule is made known some
OF the applicants drop out and go to Prince
ton and elsewhere.
"One applicant comes from San Francisco.
He writes that he has read DIR. Briggs ad-
dress and that he desired to place himself
under the influence of sucn q teacher.
Others who had already decided to enter
New England seminaries have iutimated a
purpose to change and come to Union This
they say, is in view of the probable reten-
tion of DR.. Briggs.
~ wish to say further that the attitude of
Union in the Briggs matter has created q
great deal of enthusiasm among friends of
the institution and we have reason to expect
surprisingly large increases in our endow-
ment therefor"
