The Windham County reformer. (Battleboro, Vt.) 1876-1897, 1891-05-29

THE theological war Is raging IN V gorou'
fashion. Two great battle centers ire at
Detroit this week, where the Presbyt Ran
general assembly has the DR.. Briggs case 10
deal with and the revision OF Inc Wes'Iih'
ter confession, against which there was u
general rebellion last year. Inc comthlt'ee
ON revision has reported a compromise Inc
changes are not radical. Two chapters have
been inserted, one on the universal offer OF
the gospel, the other on the work OF the HOY
Spirit; many harsh statements nave peeh
softened, like that concerning 'infants dying
In infancy,n and thpithets applied to TO-
man Catholics. But the dogma of predest'
nation Is left In shape for endless dispu e.
The damnation of non.elect Infants Is lett out
and the love of God has been let In
very sparingly, as an addition. Rev. Dr.
Patton, president of lPrlnceton university
says, the ''doctrine Of the Calvinistic
system has been touched" 1t Is "trans-
parent patchwork," says DR.. Parkhurst
of the Madison Avenue church. Fore
ordination unto eternal life and to dis
honor and death, Is distinctly firmed. The
committee plainly implies that there are
some other objectionable paragraphs
which, out of regard for harmony among
brethren, 1t is deemed best to leave untouch-
ed by the pruning knife Of revision, though
1t Is ''heresy'' to question them. DR.. Park
hurst In an able defense of DR., Briggs Sun
day said forcibly "Calvin, has been dead 300
years." ''and 1t hnrts me to feel that the
church Is anchored to a cemetery"-better
square the confession to facts than
try to square facts to the confession.
DR.. Briggs has made categorical answers, In.
%disputably orthodox, to the series of ques-
lions put to him by a committee of the di.
rectors of Union Seminary and 1t will be in
teresting to see what his assailants will now
do. In the Episcopal fight DR.. Heber New
ton informs the bishop that he prefers
a trial on the cnal ges of heter-
odoXy to the ecclesiastical lynching'
to which FIR. Ignatlus, DIR. De Costa
and others want to subject him. The out.
COME will be interesting In a denomination
for which Rev. G. Dew. Bridgman has just
abandoned the Baptist communion on the
of the tolerance of the Anglican
on points of belief. 1t Is really a

So have the rubber manufacturers of this

product. They had their tariff raised from
20 to 40 per cent. though there was not a
particle of need OF any tariff because 20
times as much oatmeal was exported as I'M

increase was to enable a trust to be formed

This government of ours cannot do every.

"The city officials who returned home
this morning from their jaunt to Grand
Rapids. Michigan, report one of the
largest sized times they have exper-
fenced in some years. Officials and
citizens of Grand Rapids, they say, did
not permit q moment Of the stay TO get
away without something new in the
way of entertainment, and the result
was . most royal time.
The return passage across the lake
was made from Grand Haven, and in
asmuch as the lake was smooth as
glass they were spared the experiences
they had the night before when, as
stated, even the wickedest among them
showed symptoms of contrition and re-
pentence.
As to their reception at Grand Rapids
they express themselves highly pleased, !,
and while they were offered every
pleasure that hospitality could devise
and for which they express their grat-
itude, the visit seems to have also been
profitable in other respects.
In the first place they found q city of
much less than half the population Of
Milwaukee, equipped with all the i'm.
provements facilitating traffic and trade
including a fine AysteIn of electric street
car service.
"The public buildings were up to the
needs Of the time, and also the streets
appeared to be in better condition than
the streets of this city. Respecting the
mode of proceeding IN the matter of
street improvements, the people of
Grand Rapids are credited with being
more practical by imposing upon prop.
