BRIGGS AGAIN ON TRIAL.
He Demurs to Trial Of the Present
Charges

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-The trial of Rev.
Charles A. Briggs, charged with heresy,
began this afternoon before the presbytery
OF New York. Rev. John C. Bliss, pastor
OF the Washington Heights church, was Sc
lected as moderator. Only those members
who attended the ecclesiastical court two
weeks ago were permitted to serve as judges
or jurors.
Prof. Briggs conducted his own defense,
aided by Prof. Brown of Union Theological
Seminary and Rev. h NJ Field.
A memorial sermon which the presbytery
objects to was delivered by Prof. Briggs on
Jan. 20, 1891, and was the inaugural ad-
dress at Union Theological Seminary. The
trouble which followed resulted in the with
drawal of the seminary from the general
| assembly. The institution supported Prof.
Briggs, and did not believe his teachings
were contrary to the standard OF Presbyte-
rian doctrine.
DIR. BRIGGS DEMURs.
DR.. Briggs demurred to the trial of the
present charges because the charges put
into his hands on Nov. 9. 1892, were finally
disposed Of by the dismissal of the case
against him on Nov. f. 1891, and held that
the presbytery could not legally cite him a
second time to answer charges which they
had dismissed. He also objected to the
order and regularity of the proceedings in
the presbytery in any action taken against
him since the dismissal Of the original
charge In 1891.
A CHANGE ALLEGED.
He further objected to the amended
charges that the nature of the original
charges has been changed. The original
charges, he said, called attention to several
doctrines taught by him, which, as it was
claimed, were in conflict with the stand
ards. The only doctrine of the standards
with which conflict was alleged was the
cardinal doctrine - that the scriptures of
the Old and New Testaments are the only
infallible rule OF faith aud practice"
THE AMENDED CHARGES.
The amended charges, be continued
alleged teachings in conflict with nine differ
ent doctrines OF the w Westminister standards
The original charges allege conflict with
only one doctrine, which is included as one
of the nine, Therefore it is evident that
the general nature of the original charges
was changed by the Introduction of eight
new charges.
DR.. George NJ. Alexander offered a reso-
luton that in consideration of the objec-
tions raised by the accused, the committee
be required to amend the amended charges
and specifications by striking out two of the
numbers.
The resolution was laid over until to-
morrow,
SMITH TO BE CONVICTED.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 28.-The presbytery
to-day resumed the hearing of the heresy
charges against Prof. Smith. After con-
siderable discussion. by a vote of A to II,
the presbytery sustained the second charge.
This charge is to the effect that Prof
Smith, in a certain pamphlet, taught that
