TIRE MINORITY REPORT.
Two Committeeman Can Find No Harm
in Dr. Briggs Utterances.


in DIR. Briggs Utterances.
The minority report practically up
holds Dr. Briggs. Taking up the points
in the address one by one the minority
cannot tud anything in them that IS
not i'm accordance with the Confession
of Faith. Fundamentally they say Dr..
Briggs believes that the Old and New
TestamentS are the word of God, the
only rule of faith and action for men.
Matters on which he expresses views
differing from those held by some of his
brethren are matters on which 4 wide
latitude of opinion may well be allowed.
For instance, the subject of Sanctiti-
cation after death, discussed in DR..
Briggs address, is one necessarily Of
opinion 10 a large extent. and Dr.
Briggs opinion does not conflict in any
way with the Confession of Faith. In
regard TO the inerrancy of the Bible,
DR.. Briggs, says the minority, does not
deny the truth OF the original writings
of the Scriptures, but only holds that in
the tranSlatiOns SectarianiSm has Swayed
the original texts from their true mean
inc. and the minority can find no hereSy
in that.
Opinion should be free too, says the
report. about the view of DR.. Briggs
that there are errors in the Bible mex
picable 90 the best mind. bnt that these
errors do not invalidate the SacredneSS
or inspiration OF the book. Such q view

To Enlarge the White House.

From the New York Telegram
When Mrs. Harrison came to Washington tc
preside over the Executive Mansion she passed
upon it the just criticism that while it nigh,
serve well enough as public Office and for re
ceptious, it afforded no adequate accommodation
or facilities for the home life of President
and his family. She therefore suggested an ex.
tension of it which has won widespread ap.
proval.
While we are wasting millions annually upon
ornate federal buildings in small cities and
towns which viii not grow up TO these struct-
ures for twenty years or more, we certainly
ought to house our Chief Magistrate decently
and commodiously.
The White House is = historic building, but
ii is not the pleasantest abode in the world,
and from the standpoint of the sanitary engi-
neer it is far from being desirable residence.
Why not devote il, then, suggested, to the
official functions Of the presidency, and erect q
comfortable modern annex as q home for the
executive head of the nation?
Chronic grumblers will step forward to insist
that every such proposition betrays an intent

The Rage for Hot Milk.

New York Letter in the St. Louis Republic.
By the by, there has never been SO much
vogue given to milk as there is just now. In fact
there are hundreds Of clubmen who have never
seen as much since they went from one bottle
to another. You are asked to have glass oil
hot milk, or glass of hot vichy, just as you
are asked to have a cup of tea or some creme
de menthe. In a cut glass goblet, standing on
a bright-hued plate, the milk and vichy is par
ticularly appetizing. and it is marvellous how
much of it the men drink. Now, this isn't the
result of preaching temperance sermon. II
Is the result of offering a simple drink in an
attractive manner Service in this world means
so much, and really it seems to be more appre-
ciated by men than by women. A boiled potato
and piece Of beefsteak on hot plate. with a
glittering silver fork and bright steel knife,
with the butter in dainty little pa. and the
bread in a smooth cut piece. with the whitest OF
napery, Is more appetizing than dinner OF
twenty courses served in a careless fashion.

some people to try this scheme of increasing
