The fate OF DR.. Briggs had not been decided
at q late hour this afternoon. By the vote Of
the General Assembly last night he was con-
victed on the charge Of heresy, but
the judgment Of the assembly had not
been formulated when these Lines were
written. OF course, logically, DR.. Briggs must
be expelled from the ministry or suspended
until be recants. DR.. Briggs course has been
such that il ia not probable that he will recant
As remarked by a member Of the assembly
in q speech yesterday. the Presbyterian Church
could not stamp out the new theology he repre-
sented by stamping out DR.. Briggs. Strong
evidence Of the truth of this assertion was given
in the assembly at today's session, for in the
hot debate that sprang up in regard to the
inerrancy Of the Bible words were spoken be-
side which DR.. Briggs most Objectionable utter
ances would seem TO be the primmest kind Of
orthodoxy. There is no one in . Christian
land, whether in the Presbyterian Church
or out Of it, who would, il he cared for the
good Of his country. undertake TO unsettle the
faith of the people in the Bible as containing
the teachings which God wished the people to
have; 50 the Church has the support in
a general way Of all good people in its
effort to maintain the unimpeachable character
Of the Bible as the word Of God
Still that it is necessary to declare that every
word and line are inerrant, as matter of his
tory as well a. Q matter Of faith, is something
which many Of the most thoughtful and reverent
believers question The fact that 116 members
of the assembly, including some Of the most
scholarly men in that body, voted prac-
tically to acquit DIR. Briggs shows that in
that great Church. there are many who believe
in the liberty of thought, study and criticism
claimed by DR.. Briggs They declare that they
do not fear that the Higher Criticism can injure
the truth or detract from the value of the Bible.
The action Of the assembly brings up an in
teresting question as to its relations with the
great theological seminary which. despite the as
sembly's condemnation. has stood by Dr. Briggs.
III DIR. Briggs is expelled this seminary must
either retract its utterances made in support of
DIR. Briggs or go with DIR. Briggs out of the
church, and teach theology according to
its own lights, irrespective of the standards adj
hered to by the General Assembly. At
any rate it Will be interesting
TO see what the sentiment of the assembly will
be = year hence when similar questions come
up in the case of Prof. Henry Preserved Smith.
The Briggs men claim that their numbers
have been growing, and that if a
postponement could have been secured for an
other year they would have been on nearly even
terms with the conservatives.

arrivals. II by any chance the unwelcome
visitor passes the gate without detection, he is
apt to meet an officer from his own home at any
point within the grounds. And if, in spite Of
these chances against him, he picks pocket,
or attempts to steal anything, an alarm will find
the gates at every point Of exit furnished with
description Of the offender" And yet some
expert succeeded in breaking into guarded
showcase. right under the noses of Chief Bon
fields sleuths. He got away with his booty and
is still at liberty. He was either exceptionally
clever or very lucky and duplication of his
daring deed is by no means probable. Exhib-
itors and visitors may and doubtless will appre-
ciate the police precautions.

That the making Of a diocese of Washington
and the establishment here of great cathedral
should be the more important topics discussed
at the Protestant Episcopal convention now in
session in Baltimore is not at all surprising.
With more solid rapidity than is evident to
many outside the communion the Episcopal
Church in this region continues to grow daily.
Since Bishop Paret was placed at the head of
the diocese of Maryland the work of his exalted
Office has steadily increased until now it is too
much for one mans physical energy. Speak
ing Of this the bishop said yesterday that di-
vision will be absolutely necessary before long.
and that in his opinion it would not be
wise TO wait until the necessity became oppress-
lively apparent '.In the city of Washington ~
said he, "God has given US national opportu-
mites and national responsibilities. Powers of
all kinds are centering there. The church
should be strongly represented there 1t was
the rule Of the church in its best and earliest
days that every strong city should have its
bishop. And if there is a city in our land
where more than in others that rule should be
followed it is Washington Other religious
bodies have taken bold steps to take possession.
