Professor David Swing.
Especial Correspondence


CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Professor David
Swing is not so much discussed in the
newspapers as he used to be, but his
reputation and influence here are as
great as ever. Now about sixty, he still
draws crowds every Sunday to the Cen.
trail Music hall, where his admirers and
followers assemble to hear his views or
liberal religion.
Many persons have already forgotten
that he filed, some twenty years ago,
Presbyterian pulpit, that he was ar
raigned for heresy and that his trial
caused a profound commotion in the
ologic circles. During the trial one Of
the Chicago dailies published the print
tive Presbyterian creed, which was so
shocking to many members of the
church who had never read it before
that they doubted its authenticity at
first. When they found it to be entirely
correct they saw how any man might
be guilty of heresy without knowing it,
and thus learned a much needed lesson
of evangelical charity.
The jury having disagreed, Swing
chose to resign his pulpit rather than
undergo the trouble and annoyance of
second trial, which would probably have
ended like the first He then set up an
independent society, which divided his
church, more than half its members, and
many of the most prominent and inteli-
gent, adhering to him and his fortunes,
which have never waned. n. B. r.
