PROF. CAMPBELLs HERESY.
Tho Montreal Pre,bytery Decide. TO Place
Him on Trial.

MONTREAL. Aug. 1.-The case OF Prof. John
Campbell OF the Montreal Presbyterian Church,
who is charged with heresy on account Of cer-
tain statements made regarding tho Bible.
came before the Montreal Presbytery to- day.
and led to a warm discussion. At tho last
meeting OF the Presbytery u committee was
appointed to prepare libel on which the case
will be tried. The committee submitted the
draft Of libel and II was discussed ut to days
meeting. Tho original draft was considerably
amended as finally approved.
The indictment charges him with having
been guilty OF heresy. FIRST in holding and
teaching n view OF the Holy Scriptures which
impugns and discredits them as the supreme
and infailible source OF religious truth: and
second, n view Of God which sets Himforth as
one who does not smite either by the way OF
punishment or discipline. and who has moth
ing to do with tho Judgment or punishment OF
A discussion arose oyer the relevancy OF the
Montreal Presbyterian ,Co,'GSEs; in which Dr.
and Prof. scremyer. another member of the
college faculty; the Rev; DR.: pat t and
ssdns wss He sonr
condemnation OF his colleagues He said the
whole question vas whether Dr.: Gamnhs,is
Pre- c6areR s that Dr. Campo G.
hCll 9 tohCnlnH was TDHnlleSt from
the doctrine which he solemny promised to
teach and defend when he was Omitted into
tho chair he held in the Presbyterian Colle eye.
DR.. NlacVicar said he took his stand In favor
OF Legitimate and properly regulated freedom.
and the en- ployment OF tho best scholarship in
the treatment Of Biblical subjects. but such
tho very essentials and vitality Of tho Scrip
lures as DR.. Campbell had done. He urged the
Presbytery to take prompt action. As. II DIR.
Campbelrs action was allowed to pass with
out strong. condemnation. irrcparahle injury
might be done to the Presbyterian Church In
Canada. He regretted to have to move against
one who had been his colleague for twenty
years. but his duty to God. tho Truth and tho
Church came first.
Several members OF the Presbytery attempt
ed to defend Prof. Campbell. hut they were in
a hopeless minority. and finally the charges
were decided to he relevant by an overwhelm-
Ing vote. 1t was decided to summon DR..
Campbell to answer to tho charges before tho
Presbytery at n meeting to be held on Sept =.
There is little doubt that Prof. Campbell will
be condemned by the rresbytery. An appeal
and II that body also condemns him the only
fessorship and leave the Church.
