TIE Genuine and the sham.

Every good thing has its host of imita-
tors: every genuine article its counter
feits. The imitators always choose the
most valuable and popular article to coun-
terfeit, so that when they claim their sham
to be equal or as good, or the same as SO
and-So's" the public may depend upon ~
that So-and-So article is the best of
the kind. The sham proves the genuine
merit of the thing It copies, and never has
this been better illustrated than by the
limitations of Allcocks Porous Plasters. :.
Allcock's Porous Plaster is the standard
OF excellence the world over. and its imi,,
tators IN their cry that theirs. is las good
as Allcock,sn are only emphasizing this
fact and admitting "Alleock's" to be the
acme of perfection. which it IS their high
est ambition to initiate. The difference
between the genuine and these limitations,
which copy only general appearance, Is rs
wide as that between copper aud gold.
The only safe way for purchasers is TO
always insist upon having Allcock's Po-
rous Plastsrs. They are the only perfect
plasters ever produced.

business before the house was the consideration
OF tho objections filed 10y DR.. Briggs.
Objections l and we're as follows: ~ object
20 the charges put In my hands November -,
1892, on the ground that they we're finally dis
pOsel Of by the dismissal OF tho case on Noyem-
Dor a. 1891, ana that the presbytery could not
legally cite me "A second time 10 answer 10
charges which they had dismissed.
30 | object n the order ana regularity OF tho
proceedings in the presbytery in any and every
action taken against me since the dismissal OF
the said charges on November 4, 1891"
These objections were voted on separately and
both were not sustained. Dr. Briggs said that
he would waive the third objection. and no action
Dr. Brown. OF the Union Seminary, moved
that the fourth objection be sustained. The OBJ
lection Is:
proofs from Scripture, the Confession, and cate
chisms"
Dr Brown offered an amendment requiring
the removal OF the proofs from the specihca-
tions TO the charge. The question, az thus
amended, was carried by the vote OF II 20 %,
and another point WAS ecored by the defendant.

by an overwhelming vote, but on the question
itself the vote was extremely close. On division
the motion was declared lot by 90 70 30. roll
call was finally ordered and the motion was lost
by two votes.
DR.. Briggs asked that an exception be entered
I'm his behalf on the records So great WAS the
importance attached to the vote that II was re-
garded as dividing the presoytery into two dis
tlnct factions. The court then adjourned until
