plains His Views.
HIS STATEMENT OF THE CASE OF
PROF. BRIGGS.

DR.. Abbott Argues With DIR. Briggs that
Man May Have knowledge of God
Without knowledge of the Bible
The Bible, He Says, Is Not and Does
Not Claim To Be Infallible.
New YORK, June 6.-The sermon
preached by DR.. Lyman Abbott on the
Briggs case Sunday has caused so much
discussion that DR.. Abbott has been
asked to further explain his views re-
garding the Bible. In an interview
printed in the Tribune today he says:
The fundamental question, as DR.. Briggs
has asserted, is that man may come to
knowledge of God without having any
knowledge of the Bible, and the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church
says that that is false and dangerous
doctrine. In that matter, have not the
slightest question that DIR. Briggs is right
and that the General Assembly is wrong.
The idea that man cannot come to
knowledge of God without knowledge
of the Bible would not only shut out from
knowledge of God all devout and
earnest seekers after God in the pagan
world, such as Socrates and Marcus Aur-
elius, but it would shut out likewise
from God all the Old Testament patri-
archs, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses.
Elijah, David and Isaiah, for they ali
lived before there was any Bible. How
could they get knowledge of God if we
have not any knowledge of God without
the Bible? Men came to knowledge of
God through their personal conscious
ness of Him, and wrote that down, and
what they wrote is the Bible; and to say
that a man cannot come to any knowl-
edge of God without the Bible is like
saying that a man cannot
come to any experience of love
without studying love liter
ature, or any knowledge of flowers with
out coming over the works of recogniz-
ed authorities on botany. 1t is agreed
that there are errors in the Bible, but
they say that these errors are all in trans
lation, and that in the original there
were no errors. Nobody now living ever
saw the original documents, and to make
a question of faith depend upon the
character of documents which now have
no existence and which nobody ever saw,
is absurd.
''The Bible is the history of the growth
of the consciousness of God in the hearts
and lives of men. It is clearer in the
later prophets than it is in the earlier,
and clearer in the New Testament than
it is in the Old; but clearest of all in the
revelation that is made in Jesus Christi
'But do you deny that it is infallible?'
sThe infallibility of the Bible is an i'm
possible conception" said DR.. Abbott.
1.-THE Bible is not and does not claim to
be an infallible book; it claims to be
book about the experience of God in hu-
man souls.''

EVERY POINT INSPECTED.

With the death of Edwin Booth there
passes from the American stage the great
est figure that has graced it during the
past generation. Being the son of Jnnius
Brutus Booth, known as the "elder
Booth" the histrionic instinct was very
naturally transmitted to him.
In his fathers company of travelling
players Edwin served a long and
thorough apprenticeship, beginning at
the very bottom and rising slowly, till in
the year 1856 he made his first appear
ance as a star in Baltimore. Here his
success was instant and complete. Dur
ing the next decade he was seen in near
ly all the principal cities of this country
and in Lendon, Liverpool and Man
chester, England.
Mr.. Booths recent professional
career is well known to many.
On his return from tour abroad
he formed an alliance with Lawrence
Barrett which lasted to the death
of that admirable actor in March, 1891.
During the tim9F of this combina-
tion, and later when he was associated
with Helena Moi ka. America witnessed
some of the finest representations of
Shakesperian plays that the world has
ever seen.

How the Forger Worked
Especial to tbs Press.]

LEWISTON, June Cit twas May 18th
that forger Fred Thorn visited the First
National Bank Of this city. He deposit
ed 500, and took certified check, signed
by Cashier Templeton. 1t was not
learned that two checks with Mr.. Tenn
pleton's name forged had been cashed at
the Bank of Commerce in Boston, until
that bank, which is this Lewiston banks
correspondent at the Hub, sent along the
monthly statement June 1st. 1t was
thought at first that a blank check might
in some way have been stolen from Lor-
ing, Short & Harmon of Portland, who
supply the Lewiston bank, but investiga-
ton has proved that the false checks
were made through the photogravure
process. The number of the genuine
check was 119,999, and the others were
filled in so as to correspond. The bank
employees do not recollect anything about
the appearance of the man, and the po-
lice have failed to find out anything
about his whereabouts while in town.
Other Maine banks and police depart
ments have been notified of the affair.

LIKE OTHER TREATIES.
Our Agreement With Russia Said To Be
All Right.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The Russian
extradition treaty was formally proclaim
ed this afternoon. The proclamation is
dated yesterday. 1t simply recites the
provisions of the treaty with the an
nouncement that it will 60 into effect 20
days from date, June "a. 1t is claimed
in official quarters that in spite of all that
has been said about the treaty it is SINH
lar in scope to all extradition treaties
negotiated by the United States in recent
years, although in practice it may be that
the administration of the articles will
have different result in view of the
essential difference between the judicial
systems of the two countries, which in
this case, are supposed to be more than
usually divergent.
