acquitted OF All the Charges That Were
Brought Against Him.
Tho charges Of heresy brought against Prof
Briggs Of the Union Theological Seminary.
which have been examined by the New York
presbytery, we're not sustained when the case
came to vote yesterday afternoon. Dr.. Briggs
expected to be acquitted, but did not look for
such large vote in his favor.
On the first charge, accusing Prof. Briggs
with teaching tina. the reason is a source Of di-
vine authority, the vote was as follows: To sus-
tain the charge. 60; against sustaining the
charge, 6s.
On the second charge, which accuses Prof
Briggs with teaching that the church Is q source
Of divine authority. there we're IS votes cast in
favor OF sustaining the charge and II against
The closest vote wGs on the third charge
that Prof. Briggs taught tho Scriptures con-
tanned errors Of history and fact. On this
charge the vote was az follows: To sustain the
charge. 81; against. 6S.
After this vote had been taken two or three
OF the anti-Briggs men left the court, and
others refrained from voting on the last three
charges.
On the fourth charge. accusing Prof Briggs
with teaching that Moses was not the author Of
the Pentateuch. the result was to sustain the
charge, SO; against, IA
The vote ON the fifth charge accusing Prof.
Briggs with teaching that Isaiah did not write
many of the chapters in the book bearing his
name wes In favor of sustaining the charge,
40; against, 20.
The vote on The sixth charge, accusing Prof.
Briggs with teaching that sanctifcation is
progressive after death. was as follows: To sus-
tain the charge, 81; against sustaining, 60.
The theological battle will be bitter before
the general presbytery, but as many of the
members favor q revision of the Westminster
creed, il is more than possible that struggle
practically ends the war against the divine.
The case will be appealed to the general
assembly. which will meet carly in the spring.
Even if the prosecution did not make such an
appeal. the assembly would be forced to take it
up. The assembly will appoint commission
composed OF fourteen unprejudiced members
to act on the appeal.
The friends OF DR.. Briggs were greatly pleased
with the result. They had calculated on
majority ranging from four to SIX
PROT. BRIGGS UTTERANcEs
DIR. Briggs theory was that there are three
ways in which q man may become Christian
through the word of God. through the church
and through reason. He claimed that the light
OF Iogos sometimes shines upon suffering souls
In heather and Christian lands, bringing seek
ers after truth into fellowship with God. His
critics did not object to the Christianity i'm
Piled in the teachings concerning the church
and the word of God, but they did no. like the
tendency toward ratioralism manifested in his
sermons. Some OF his statements concerning
the inspiration OF the Scriptures. the posi-
bilities Of error in the Holy Bible also, have
been threshed over and over again by the New
York Presbyterians.

The attractions OF this city as a place of
residence were the main reasons which led Mr.
George W. McLanahan to make his home in
this city. He is New Yorker and belongs to
weli-known family there; but his interests
largely are now in this city. He erected
several years ago one of the handsomest private
residences in this city, which has become the
.en.er of much graceful and kindly
hospitality. Mr.. McIanahau has become
identified with the city as ono
OF the progressive citizens by his investments
in real estate, which are made on rather large
scale. His appointment on the committee was
a suitable recognition of class OF men who
are doing great deal toward the advancement
of this city.

Sweet farewells-

Rolling near;

the columns of The STAR show has always
been found advocating every movement to i'd
