nesns he asked for, though often at
great personal sacrifice. He paid his

and lost all, and the father could do no
more for him.

claimed: ''Poor boy; it is too bad"

Fletcher had led a wayward life for sew
eral years, and was addicted to drink,
but had recently taken the gold cure in

BRIGGS BEGINS HIS DEFENSE,


DR.. Briggs then began his defense.
He said he had been accused of teach
ing that many old testament predictions
had been reversed by history, and that
the great body of Messisnic predictions
had not been and would not be fulfilled.
This, he said, he repudiated. He also
disclaimed that he was guilty OF teach
ing that the process of redemption
extended to the world to come in the
case of many who died in sin, stating
he had repudiated the Roman Catholic
doctrine Of purgatory; also the doctrine
of future probation, regeneration after
death, or any beginning of Christian life
after death. Continuing on this subject
Briggs said:
"You have heard attributed to me the
dreadful doctrine of race redemption,
but if you will look into my inaugural
you will see all have to say on that
subject in connection with the incarna-
tion of Jesus Christ. The trouble with
these brethren is they are taking too
narrow view OF the doctrine. | would

doctrine, and if the time ever comes

cannot"
DIR. Briggs made a legal argument
against the consideration of rejected
charges by the general assembly, until
after they shad been tried by the New
York presbytery.
TUE LOGIC OF THE CASE.
At the evening session Briggs defended
the action of the presbytery at great
length, and then passed to q discussion
of the logic of the case. This point he
discussed long time, holding that he
must be judged by his fnith and prac-
tice, and not by individual interpreta-
tion. He held there were errors of holy
scripture in matters that did not in any
way impair its infallibility in matters Of
faith and practice.
At 10 O'Clock the assembly adjourned

means that schemes are on foot to capture

filed letter Of withdrawal with the county
clerk. The state board Of canvassers will
be asked to throw the ballots cast for him
out and as the members are all officials

likely to obey the bohests of Hill and Flower.
Tho fact that Flower does not give mp the

the party leaders will stoop in their despera-
