Such caution begins to show Itself at both
Detroit and New York. The committee ap-
pointed by the New York Prcsbytery to
prepare the findings against DR.. BR1ods

he is overmastcred In argument. A trial for

The Same is the case with DR.. HKBEB

The confusion into which theology has
fallen does not lessen either in Detroit or
New York, and at neither place do We dis
cover any signs Of restoration OF order at
this time. Instead, the indications seem to
be that It will be left to settle itself, with the
prospect that the settlement will not como
until the old theology has been rejected
openly and utterly by tho victorious party.

pressed by enemies south and east OF him,
had lost some territory and much OF the
prestige and power which his ancestors bad
enjoyed for centuries. In. fact, as the mis-
sionary ARNor made very clear, the despot
Of Lunda, between tho disafYectlon and re-
volt Of part OF his subjects and the as
life for several years.
A little over year ago the Congo State,
no longer In fear Of the terrible Muata
Yamvo. decided to annex him. and, without
paying the slightest attention to what
Portugal had done. the announcement
was made that thenceforth Lunda was
q part OF the Congo State. Portugal
naturally objected to this cool and
unexpected proceeding. and Its protests
led to negotiations which have finally &C.
cured to Portugal at least hve-sixths Of the
territory OF Lunds. The only part the
Congo State has obtained Is the northeast
corner, bounded on the south by 80 8. Lat,
on the west by the Kassai River, and on the
north and east by the Congo State. A short
distance south Of this newly acquired region
Ii Mussumba, the capital OF the country.
1t is here that BUCHNER and PoaGE visited
the monarch OF whom the world had heard
30 much, but really knew 80 little. Only
few years ago the Muata Yamvo was 30
greatly feared. and his power was so abso-
Lutte, that he had merely to send one OF his
officers. with the appropriate badge Of office,
to vassal several hundred miles away,
with tho information that it was the royal
pleasure that tho vassal Immediately end
his own life. and the stern order. without
any question or complaint. was carried
out at once.
Tho part OF Lunda which the Congo State
has secured has never been. visited by
white man. except on the journey Of WIss-
MANN and PoaaE, when they passed through
Its northern portion. We therefore have
fair map OF the northern part Of the new
Congo territory. but the southern two-thirds
Of It Is as yet wholly unknown. The king
dom Of the Muata Ysmvo figured on tho
maps Of Africa long before we had any dis
tinot knowledge of the interior, and, as
native reports varied. the name Of the Muata
Yamvo was placed in different parts of the
interior. A series Of old maps will show 1t
occupying positions In Central Africa from
two or three degrees north Of tho equator
to several hundred miles south OF It.

Tho Theological Situation.

Tho case OF DR.. BRIGGS Is to come up in
the General Assembly at Detroit to-mor-
, row. 1t is very doubtful what disposition
will be made OF 1t after the body has been
brought face to face with the questions In
volved. Beforehand delegates may be bold
enough In thor denunciations of him as a
heretic, but when 1t becomes necessary for
them to take the responsibility OF reading
him out OF the Presbyterian fold, timidity
may take the place Of their present courage.
Whatever the Assembly may do, 1t seems
to be settled that DR.. BRIGGS will remain In
his present chair In the Theological Semi
nary. Tho Board OF Directors cannot suffer
him to DO turned out. unless they stultify
themselves. When they elected or trans
ferred him to his present pro'essorship Of
Biblical theology his views as to the criti-
cism Of the Scriptures were we'll known to
thom. His famous inaugural address gave
no now exposition OF his opinions. and the
opinions themselves were not new. They
were familiar to evory body who has followed
the course OF modern Biblical criticism; and
they were shared by a whole school Of nom
iIally orthodox students Of tho Scriptures,
With representatives III other Presbyterian
theological seminaries and In some OF the
most influential OF the Presbyterian pulpits.
Hence, II Dr. BRIGGS were driven out OF
the Presbyterian Church, he would lead q
largo and powerful party away with him.
DIR. PARKHURsT said last Sunday that II
they were not allowed freedom Of opinion
inside OF Presbyterlanism. they would go
outaide to get IT, They would be obliged to
follow DR.. DRIoes or fall into contempt be-
oauee OF their cowardice.
Turn NJ out DR.. BRIGas. therefore, would
be- serious matter for tho Presbyterians.
Or certainty, 1t would split the Church.
Keeping him In would also be very serious
matter, for II would mean practical surren-
der To him and his rarty. and they would be
bound to have their way completely in tho
end. for the old heads who are against them
will die of and the young ministers who are
on their side will become the masters OF the
situation. The Presbyterisns are in very
ditieult place. and the more they look about
