The first charge is tho one based on articles
by Prof. Smith. published In the. New York

which he is accused by the committee with
having taught that Presbyterian minister
may abandon the essential features OF tho
system Of doctrine in that Church. which he

Church. Specification first asserts that Prof.
Smith teRches that doctrinal qualification
only is required in the officers Of the Church

that no teaches that whether in an individual
case the Church requires continued adherence
to tho doctrinnl standard received and adopted
at ordination is only to be made known by
judicial process
Prof. Smith labored to prove that su CHI teach
ing was not an offence. The remaining
charges contain. however. the Rravest part OF
