SCRIPTURE WITNESSES

Placed on the Stand Against DIR. Briggs
Or. Birch's Remarkable Argument for
the Prosecution-Dr. loves Speech in
the Smith Heresy Trial.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-In the Briggs trial
TODAY Dr. Birch continued his argument
He Joined the two charges, one and two,
which set forth DR.. Briggs theory that the
church and the reason are sources OF ivine
authority, equal with the Bible, and at
tackled them contrary'to the teachings of
the Presbyterian Standard, that the Bible
is the only source of divine authority.
DR.. Birch then read nine passages of
Scripture, to which, he asserted, Dr.. Briggs
doctrine of salvation, through the light OF
reason, is in direct conflict. The texts are
recorded in Isaiah, viii-2O; Matthew, z-33.
"a; Luke, xvi.-29-31; John, v-39; John,
xiv-6; First John, v-10; Galatians, i-9; Sec
ond Timothy, iii. -15-17 and Sacond Peter,
i.-10-21. These cirations, the speaker de-
clared, proved the charges beyond question.
DR.. Birch then summoned, as he said, -four
Scriptual witnesses to the stand and eX'
amined them on the question at issue. The
witnesses thus con njured up were the Ethl-
opian Eunich, the Centurion Cornelius, the
scholarly Bereans and Appollos, the friend
and co-worSer with St. Paul. All OF these
found the Scriptures essential for salvation
The Scriptures are, therefore, equally essen.
tIal for James Martineau's and Cardinal
Newman's salvation. To deny the neces-
| sities,of the Scriptures is to deny the in.
tegrity of God. The same line of argument
was used in the proof of Charge 2.
Having attacked the authority of the
Scriptures, there is no escape from the
| heresv that errors may have existed in the
original text of the Scriptures and this
| forms the basis for Charge 8. The argu.
ment of the prosecution on these three
| charges remains to be presented. Then DIR.
Briggs will be called upon to answer the
| accusations
A dispatch from Cincinnati says: The
entire forenoon session of the Cincinnati
| Presbvtery was occupied in hearing the con
tinuation of DR. loves argument for the
prosecution in Prof Smiths trial DR.
Lowe closed in the afternoon and Prof
Smith began his last speech in his own de-
| tense.
The main question he declared to be, 81.
inspiration of such nature that the Holy
| Spirit overcame the natural bias of the
| human writers of the Bible so as to pre-
| clude all possibility of error even of fact?'
| The committee held that 1t was of such
nature but he maintained that the Con
fession of Faith did not require such be
| lief. 1t was very generally conceded tha
| the inspired writers drew upon other thai
their own resources. He quoted from War
| field and Hodge that the Scriptures bore in
| delible traces of human error. The argu
1nent will be continued tomorrow.

FIGHT OVER A TRANSFER.

The Allegheny Board of School Controllers
Hold a Lively Session Charges OF
.Cowardice and Injustice Made-Super-
intendent Morrow Granted the Floor
and Then Snubbed.
The Allegheny Board of School Con-
.rollers held lively meeting last night.
After routine business had been attended to
the question of increasing the salaries
of assistant teachers in the High
School was introduced. Mr. Scand-
rett moved that the salaries of
assistant. teachers in the High School
be increased from $3.50 to 81, 900 per year.
The matter was referred to the Commit
tee on Teachers and Salaries. The report
of the Worlds Fair Committee appro-
priating 81, 900 for a school exhibit at the
Columbia Exposition at Chicago next year
was approved. Bills of expense for the
present school year amounting to $1,S40 n
were passed. and the report of the commit
tee appointed to estimate the expenses OF
the school year ending June 1, 1898, was
read and approved. The estimates are as
follows: High school, S4, $50; public lib
rary, So, 92O; teachers and salaries, S209, 600;
Board of School Controllers, 5000; total,
1920, AGO.
The question of electing teacher for the
Eleventh ward was then brought before the
Board. DR.. Langft moved that Miss Min
ME Holt, a teacher in the Fourth ward, be
transferred to the Eleventh ward
DR.. Mcmillan moved that Miss N. j..
King be elected in place of Miss Holt. This
was lost.
Mr.. Langftt, of the Fourth ward, vehe-
mently denounced the actions Of the men,
bers from the Eleventh ward in attempting
to rob the Fourth ward of one Of its most
efficient teachers. 'It is an injustice" Mr..
Langitt said, pointing his finger at ME-.
Oliver, "that the citizens of the Fourth
ward will not tolerate.
A motion to lay the matter on the table
prevailed. This brought Mr. Oliver to his
feet He said it was o cowardly thing for
the board to let the question be thrown
aside in this manner. This language was
objected to. He then moved that Superln-
tendent Morrow be instructed to select o
seacher to fill the vacancy. President Nc
Mullen ruled that this could be done, as the
district was under the control of the Board
of Controllers and it had a right to place
teachers where they chose whether the
local board nominated them or not
Superintendent Morrow was granted the
floor, but before he could speak motion tc
adjourn prevailed and he was left out in the
cold. A committee will be appointed to.
day by the President to draft resolutions or
the death of Joseph Walton.

NO NEAR REMOVAL LIKELY.

Unfounded Assumptions Arising From
Real Estate Purchase-A New Church
Edifice.
THE DISPATCH announced in its real
estate columns on Monday the sale of the
tract of land comprising something over an
acre, corner of Fifth avenue and st. Pierre
street, Oakland, for price of $50, 100 1t
was understood the lot was intended for
church purposes, and some city cotempora-
ries Yesterday stated that the purchasers
intended it as site for a new cathedral to
take the place of St. Paul's This was
yesterday denied. The facts are that
M essrs. Reilly and Farrell, who made the
purchase, represent committee wnlcn,
with the sanction of Bishop Pbelan and the
clergy, proposes to prepare an ediice for
new Roman Catholic congregation. The
plans are not yet perfected-the purchase
being in anticipation of them. The name
of the congregation has not been decided
vet some suggesting it be called st. Leo's,
others st. Pierre's There is nothing, for
the present at least in the intimation that
ST. Paurs Cathedral will be removed.
About the only feature of the trans
action to give color to any such
possibility is that the newly bought tract
is one of the most eligible and central that
could be secured, and that the new congre-
CATION intends building on the Pierre street
front nearest Forbes street, leaving space
enough between the new edifce and Fifth
avenue for q cathedral building on Fifth
avenue if ever that should be desired.
1t was also stated yesterday that the re-
port of business firm of the city having
offered 81, 500, 900 for the present site of St.
Paul's, Fifth and Grant, was totally incor-
rect. While its possible value had been
speculatively talked of among outsiders, no
formal offer has been lately, II at all,
broached to the church authorities or to the
congregation. The newly acquired lot ad-

RUSHING FOR THE LAND.

One Of the chief. explanations of the
increasing popularity Of the northwest
of this continent for farming operations
Is the diversity Of country which It
offers. Nature has SO fashioned it that
every branch Of farming in the temper
ate zone has been provided with To-
cality. And the extent of country adapt
ed to agriculture is revelation to those
who not many years ago thought that
Minnesota was the boundary of agricul.
tural land and that wheat-growing was
doubtful even IN Minnesota. Beyond
Minnesota, across the boundary, the
Canadian territories of Manitoba, ASSN
iboia, Alberta and Saskatchewan are
claiming pre-eminence in wheat, in cat
tie raising, and in mixed farming.
Manitoba this year has outstripped the
rest Of the world in the quantity and

quality of her harvest. Assiniboia,
though more sparscly settled, makes a
proportionately good showing. and AL
berta is not only increasing the number
and quality of the beevcs shipped 10
Europe, but is importing young steers
from the East to be fattcned on the rich
grasses of the country, which ripen
early and remain juicy and sustaining
throughout the moderate winter of
those plateaux. Now new and extern
sivc area has been thrown open to
homesteading. Two railways have
been recently opened into the Saslsatch-
evan country, and those who have been
farming in the ncighborhood of the old
Hudson's Bay posts claim, and appar-
emily with some justice, that their coun-
try surpasses even Manitoba and east
ern Assiniboia; that it is the garden of
the Northwest. 1t is no wonder that
Eastern Canadians are selling out to
take advantage of the free land to be
obtained in these rich districts. The
investigating parties that have been
sent to spy out the land have reported
so favorably upon it, that the desire to
obtain homestead in the Western Can
adian Provinces is spreading far beyond
the limits of Canada itself. There are
q number of delegates in the west pre-
pairing the way for companies of intend
ing immigrants who will move in the
spring, and it is becoming more and
more evident that Canada west of Lake
Superior is becoming the heart of the
Dominion, and that Winnipeg, though
not the official capital, will be the most
important city.

Here is something from Mr.. Frank
A. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt
House, Lewiston, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men

and things up for what they are
worth. He says that he has lost a
father and several brothers and sis
tiers from Pulmonary Consumption,
and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
Consumptionhis stomach. When
ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Boschee's

every time. Here is a man who

particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion? Listen! II
