New York, Nov. lG.--A matter out OF the
ordinary routine had to hc considered by the

exercises Clerk Alexander read this some.
whit remarkable letter:
"Hishlands, y. j., Sept. 20, 1S92-Rev. s.
D. Alexander ID. D.--Brolhcr: Through you
again respectfully request the Presbytery
of New York To remove my name from the
roll for the fol lowing reasons: While hum.
ply receiving tie Scripture of tho Old and
New Iestaincnts as containing the word OF
God, l decline to subscribe to II merely hu-
man dictatiOn. he II SO able and SO venerable
as the Westminster standard. l further de-
much like. beins called rabbi against
which our Lord expressly cnjoined Ills dis
ciples:, Again 1 decidedly prefer not TO be
identinnu I with any party or denomination OF
the spirit which they cugender, seem to
me not scriptural aud haneflI, rather than
beneficial. 1t is sufficient for me to sly
companion OF all them that fear Cod
tnally l suspect that the world AMI the
visible church arc somewhat surfcited with
preaching, ut least of the prevailing type.
AS this letter distinctly witlldraws my sub
scrlption to the Westminster standards, il
Of my name upon the roll OF Preshytcrians
While thus terminating my special con.
nection with the Presbyterian denomination,
