KEIGWIN VS.. LEFTWICH.
He Reviews the Latter's
Sermon on Briggs.
FIGHTING THE BATTLE AGAIN.

West Presbyterian Church's Pastor Takes
Issue with the Baltimore DivIne-Inti-
mates That He Was Asleep Part OF the
Time.
In the Baltimore News Of Saturday
Rev. A. ~ Keigwin, of West Presbv-
terian Church, this city, reviews the ser
mon Of DR.. Leftwich, delivered after the
Briggs Judgment had been pronounced
by the General Assembly.
The following extracts are taken from
the review.
"Dr. Leftwich's sermon OH the Briggs
case puts him among men of less broad
views, than his friends have heretofore
considered him 10 be, and feel grieved
that he should now, ut the close Of so
useful a pastorate, In hisripe experience.
and with his noble record. appear in
another character
'He has confidence In the truth Of
God, as we all do, that It will be sue
cessful In conflict with error. and Isnm
surprised that he voted in the assembly
with a majority that appeared to be
pessimistic and afraid OF delay lest In
one year it should dwindie to a
minority under the fire OF discussion
The verdict rendered by DR.. Left
wich's aid in the last assembly II defer
red for one year might have at least
commanded respect, which It will fail
now to do.
But that which surprises me more Is
the logic of DR.. Leftwich In the sermon
publised In your issue Of the 18th instant.
DR.. l. appears 10 be ignorant or else
Ignores the fact that the Presbyterian
Church has never adopted any theory Of
inspiration. The theory which he uses
Is found not to be successful in meeting
the question Of errors, which he, as well
as DR.. Briggs, knows to exist in the
Bible. To retain his theory he has in an
un8cholarly way, very unlike himself
jumped at the conclusion that the orig
inal autographs are inerrant. There Is
no certainty that there were Original
autographs" We know that most OF
the ancient religions were orig
inally taught orally and transmitted from
/ father TO son for centuries.
might agree with DR.. Leftwich on
this hypothesis that all that God fspake
TO Moses was lnerrant but had been cor
rupted in transmission TO such an extent
that at the time It was committed to
writing the original autographs were
errant and we have the result OF this
imperfect mode Of transmission. II this
hypothesis is true then we might as vel
talk Of the original autographs Of
Zoroaster or Of Homer as Of the Bible.
