The Case OfReV. DIR. Briggs.

The case of Rev. DR.. Briggs, of
the Presbyterian church, under
trial at Detroit, by the Presbyte-
rian General Assembly, is a mat
ter of interest to all who want to
promote good morals.
The trend of the age is to sub
stitute belief in some sort of re-
ligious dogma for the practice of
moral lives and good deeds to our
fellow men. and honesty in bust
ness.
The Presbyteria Confession of
Faith is markedly a bundle of
these dogmas, gotten up by a body
of religious bigots who assumed
to know it all. and who said they
would take their doll rags and 90
home, and would not play with
anybody that did not believe al
they did.
They made prosclytes among
the best people of the country,
and we now have all over Blue
grassdom the anomalous specta-
Gle of most entelligent set of
people who most scrupuiously OBJ
serve certain religious forms, the
chief of which is to go to church
every Sunday and listen to some
old chop logic about the "Dry
bones in the valley of Jehosa-
phat," and yet it is a fact that of
the six times in my life in which
| have been swindled and unjustly
treated, five of them were by
rampant Presby terians, and the
other one by a Campbellite preach
er that | ordained myself.
In addition to this it is q fact
that while my paper and | have
always had some devoted personal
friends among the Prcsbyterians,
they are as a people, those who
have most opposed what l was
trying to do, though everybody
of any ecnse can see that | have
been trying to boost and boom
good morals, and love and friend
ship and honesty among men.
