The Briggs Controversy.

The controversy between the Union
Theological Seminary of New Y ork and the
general assembly of Presbyterians is of
very much greater Importance than It is
generally thought TO be. 1t would hardly
be proper to speak Of the controversy as be-
ing between the seminary and the assembly
If the seminary had not announced Its pur-
pose Of supporting DR.. Briggs. who Is one
of its professors, and whose theological
views are the cause Of all the bother. DR..
Briggs, as is well known, teaches that the
Bible Ia not an inspired book-that it con-
tains many errors-and that every one has
right to interpret it for himself.
Or. Briggs is supported in his position by
the other professors Of the seminary and by
the trustees Of the institution. He, therefore,
feels encouraged to invite a contest with
the general assembly of the Presbyterian
church. He feels confident of his ability to
maintain his position. and ne would like
nothing better apparently than q contro-
versy that would bring him still greater no.
toriety than that which he now enjoys. The
officers of the seminary don't care much
whether the general assembly makes au
appropriation for the maintenance of the
seminary or not. They are all rich and are
we'll able to carry on the institution for an
indefinite length of time They are willing
to do 80. believing the time when the Pres
| byterian church will accept DR.. Briggs
view OF the Bible is not very distant.
1t is evident that a very large section OF
the church does not now accept the Briggs
theory Of Bible Interpretation, and it i:
doubtful If it will do 80 at a very early
day, IL ever. There is a section OF the
church, however, that does accept hi
theory, and, it is highly probable, there
fore that if there should be a contest be-
tween the seminary and the general assem-
bly, the Presbyterian church would be di
vided into hostile factions, and its growth
greatly retarded. If however. the issue which
DIR. Briggs has raised has to be met 1t is
question whether it wouldn't be advisable
to meet it at once, Delay will strengthen
the Briggs party by creating the impression
that the general assembly is afraid to NEE
| the issue.

with much gusto an encounter he had recently

The Harbor Appropriation Safe.

The river and harbor bill is now in the
hands of conference committee, having
passed both the House and the Senate 1t
will not take the conference committee long
TO reach an agreement with respect to the
changes made by the Senate. By one of the
changes Savannah harbor loses 1926, 900 Of
the amount appropriated to 10 for the next
fiscal year. Whether Col. Lester will be
able to get the appropriation restored to its
original amount is problematical 1t is
certain he will do all that can be done in
that direction.
If he shouldn't succeed Savannah wouldn't
lose great deal The thing for which she
made big fight, and which remains a part
of the bill, is the authority given the Secre-
tary of War to make contracts for carrying
on the harbor improvement continuously
until it is completed. When, therefore, the
S3lS, 900 which the bill carries is exhausted
the Secretary Of War will make contracts
for additional expenditures, which will be
provided for it in the sundry civil appro-
priation bill. The cutting down OF the ap-
preparation for the next fiscal year is not
therefore, a matter of so much consequence
| after all.
There has been some talk of an effort to
get the President to veto the bill. IL such
| an effort should be made il wouldn't sue
coed. The President knows congress would
pass the bill over is veto without hesita-
ton. and he would be put in the position Of
trying to make political capital for cam
paign purposes rather than seeking TO en-
force economy. But the President is not
the kind of man to engage in business OF
| that sort. 1t eau be safely ated that the
bill will become law. and it is doubtful il
the conference committee will interfere
materially with the changes made by the
Senate

An Unfortunate Incident.

An unfortunate spirit Of intolerance
cropped out in the Methodist general
conference at Omaha one evening
last week, when the Rev. DR.. John J.
Tigert, of Kansas City, fraternal
delegate from the Methodist Episcopal
church south, attempted to explain briefly
the feeling which exists between the whites
and blacks In the south. DIR. Tigert's pur-
pose was to give simple statement Of facts;
but he had not spoken dozen sentences be-
fore he saw his audience was not in SYM
patty with him. When he incidentally re-
ferred TO John Browns raid the conference
cheered, and when he asserted that the
southern whites we're the Negroes best friends
the Assemblage, including some Of the bish-
ops, Kissed and groaned.
1t was this same spirit Of intolerance, this
refusal to hear both sides, and accord the
right Of the people Of each section to hold
views OF their own on temporal things,
that led 60 the division of the Methodist
church. 1t is hoped by the southern MeCho-
dist church that, In this age OF advanced
and liberal thought, the views Of the two
great divisions Of Methodism in this country
may be harmo nized, and to that end DR..
Tigert. as the bearer of an olive branch,
was dispatched to Omaha. But the mes
senger of friendship in his first effort to
bring about better understanding was
not accorded respectful hearing, because he
advanced views on the social problem diff
fering from the views of the members of
the convention.
The race question to him involves a con-
dition; TO them only theory. He views the
field as participation in religious aud secu-
lar contemporary history; they look on
from afar, obtaining distorted view
through the medium Of a newspaper press
too often inimical to the south. He knows
Of his own knowledge OF the things con-
corning which he spoke they know Of
them only through hearsay. But their
minds we're made up, and they Kissed ut
terances which did not accord with their
idea Of the state of affairs.
On the day following this untoward Incl
dent the conference adopted resolution ex-
pressing satisfaction with the efforts of the
fraternal delegates from the Methodist
church south aud the Independent Metho-
dist church, aud the hope that il the near
future all branches of the Methodist church
would become one body in Christ" One
long step toward the accomplishment of
that object will have been taken
when the northern Methodists open their
minds to conviction on this race question
When prejudice has been put aside and they
accept the truth as it is, not as they would
believe it, speedy reunion of the two
churches will follow. The wiping out of
sectional lines in ali religious as well as all
political organizations is earnestly to be
desired by all good citizens. whether they
are church members or not.

Incident in a Dispatcher's Experience

telegraph operator on one of the single
track roads leading out of Pittsburg has had an
experience that will last him a lifetime, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The young man became careless, as dis
patchers sometimes will, and he gave orders for
a freight and passenger train, moving in OPP
poste directions, to go to a certain station.
When the trains had started the operator
suddenly remembered that they couldn't reach
the place without collision. II was too late to
countermand the order, and in his agony cold
drops of perspiration ran down over his face
III describing his feeling afterwards he said he
lived years in the few short minutes which would
decide the fate OF the trains.
He was startled and relieved by seeing the en-
gineer OF the freight walk into the tower. The
engineer had received his orders, but when he
reached a switch he had premonition there
was something wrong, ard he turned in on the
side track His train was scarcely out of the
way when the express Numbered by.
The next day the operator went to the super
intendent of the road and told him what had
happened, at the same time handing in his
resignation.
The manager looked at him for a moment
and then said: go back to your work, my boy.
This experience has been a lesson for you. 1
don't think 1t will occur in the future"
