Not more than three assemblies at any
rate have been more important, and pos
sibly but two-the one which organized
the church Immediately after the United
States became a nation and that of 1870,
which completed the reunion OF old
school and new school, which had been
separated about 33 years. At the COM
ing assembly an earnest attempt will be
made to give final settlement to certain
questions which have troubled the church
for several years, chief among them the
revision Of the confession of faith and
the famous-one might almost say noto-
rious-Briggs case.
The New York Avenue Presbyterian
church is n of the historic places of
Washington. The name was taken in
1883, when the old F Street and Second
Presbyterian churches were united u
dor the pastorate Of Rey. Or, Phineas D.
Gurley, who took the lead in building
the present edifice, In 1859 the old con-
gregation welcomed the general assem-
bly, of that year. In the original con
gregation, Presidents Andrew jackson,
John Quincy Adams and Franklin Pierce
were frequently present in their terms,
and the attendance Of the last named at
the prayer meetings was a subject Of
frenuent remark James Buchanan oc-
cupied a pew there regularly, and Abra-
ham Lincoln made it his religious home
SO far as he mad any. Today it has a
very large proportion of eminent OFF,
Gals among its attendants.
Nevertheless when DIR. Bartlett was
called to the passionate in 1882, the mem
bership was but a few over 500. 1t rapid
ly increased to 1000. and the original
church has founded two others, the
Church of the Covenant and the Gurley
Memorial, and sustains two Furnishing
missions. William Alvin Bartlett was
born Dec. 4. 1882, in Binghamton, N.
T., and was graduated from Hamilton
college in 1852, since which time his ca
reer has been one of extraordinary ac-
tlvity. Among of his classmates and init
mates at college were the present Justice
Merwin OF the supreme bench OF New
York, Rev. Mr.. Cleveland, the presi-
dents brother, Charles Dudley Warner
and Professor Fisk of Cornell, and
though Bartlett was the youngest (but
10 when he graduated) all the others
conceded him the honors of the class,
and he has since worn the Phi Beta Kap-
pa badge on his watch chain.
While still a minor he was made act
ing professor of Greek, Latin and elocu-
ton at the institution near Stauntt 4.
Va. A year later he entered Union
Theological seminary, New York, and
after graduating there with high honors
took II course In Halle and Berlin, de-
voting special attention TO what is now
called higher criticism. He has held
pastorate sat Owego. N. T., Brooklyn.

President Garfield q few months before
his death related + o a friend the follow
ing incidents.
AS General Garfield entered the con-
vention the day of his nomination, a
man distributing leaves of the New Tes-
lament handed one to him which the
engrossed politician folded and put in
his pocket. Long after the nomination
he took down the suit he had worn that
eventful day. and before putting it on
proceeded to empty the pockets. He
drew out a paper pressed into q narrow
fold. one verse only being visible. 1t
was this, THE stone which the builders
rejected is become the head of the cor

What are we coming to IL the press Ia
going to take the starch out of every.
thing? An esteemed contemporary-we
have forgotten which one-has com-
planned that the reports OF the daily press
have made the recent heresy trial appear
ridiculous in the eyes Of the public. The
dignity and mystery Of theological dis
cussions, once so awful that angels scarce
" dared to tread the platform where the
discussion was carried on, have been re-
duced TO a commonplaceness comparable
to the reports of a ward meeting or a
flibustering session in congress.
The impertinent press persists in treat
ing everything and everybody In an ev-
eryday sort of a way. Even religion has
TO undergo the same treatment. If there
Is any sham or mysticism or superstition
In it. it is liable to be handled as a de-
tective handles an cinbezzlement. The
press, as q rule. believes in pure and UNI
defiled religion. but it wants a religion
that is good for Mondays and Thursdays
and Saturdays as well as Sundays.
1t is complained by some Roman Cath.
olic authorities that the press is unnec-
essarily meddling with the alleged con-
troversy between the archbishops, and
that the laity Of the church is. being
stirred mp by u contest which ought to
have been confined to the prelates and
settled by them. But everything is
news, and SO important a matter as al
legged INSTRUMENTATION in the high places
of the Catholic church can no more be
kept quiet in these days than could the
outbreak of IL volcano on Manhattan
island. 1t does indeed detract from the
dignity and mystery of ec~clesiasticism
to have its quarrels reported in the pa
pers. but it cannot be helped except in
n way. Let quarrels cease and the
press viii quit its inpertinence.-Spring-
field Union.

A Naturalist and the snake charmer.

A Naturalist and the Snake Charmer.
A story used to be told at Cairo of the
late Sir Richard Owen during one of his
~sojourns in Egypt. The great naturalist
was seated in the shade on the veranda
at Sheppeard's hotel, as is the postpran-
dial wont of visitors 10 that famous hos
telry. when the inevitable snake charmer
came to him and produced from his bag
q lively specimen of the horned asp-the
deadly cerastes. The professor gazed,
and nothing daunted stopped and
plucked the horns from the head of the
reptile wriggling at his feet. remarking
to a bystander that the man would prob
ably think twice before trying to palm
OH upon any else a harmless snake
as a cerastes by the aid of q couple of
fish bones With anybody else the
charmer would probably have succeeded
He had tried it on the wrong man.

tendan. Center college at Danville had
been chartered by the Legislature In 1919
and in 1880 DIR. John G. Young was
elected president. He died in 1861, havina
been president "a years, and 81 years lat.
er the trustees elected his son, DR.. VIII.
liam, as president. Though he entered
on the duties late that year his formal
Inauguration was postponed 10 the seven.
tieth anniversary of the founding Of the
college. Oct. 0, 1889, was indeed aproud
day in the history of Danville and Gen.
ter college.
After his graduation there in 1859 DR..
Young passed some years in teaching
and reading, then took o complete theo
logical course, travelled some time in Pal
estine, filled pastorates in various places
-one being a seven years charge at Full
lerton Avenue church, Chicago-whence
he returned to his native state and was
for eight years pastor of the Central Pres
byterian church of Louisville. Thence
he went to take charge of his alma ma
ter. When the general. assembly con.
vened at Portland, Or, last year, an u
usually spirited contest ensued over the
choice of q moderator. Eight candi-
dates were placed in nomination, and
ON the third ballot DR.. Young received
262 of the 525 votes. Having served most
acceptably as moderator there. he is the
proper official to open the proceedings at
Washington.
It Is estimated that the assembly win
sit for IL days, with morning and after
noon sessions only, unless the business
shall press toward the close. Revision
of the creed must be settled this year,
and the Briggs case may be. After many
years discussion various presbyteries1
sent In their o~vertures, and at Portland
the assembly referred % Of these over
lures to the presbyteries for final action.
First in popular interest Is the proposed
change in chapter 10, section 8, so that ii
will read thus:
Infants dying in infancy and all other per-
sons not guilty of actual transgression are in
cluded In the election of grace and are regen-
Grated and saved by Christ through the Spirit,
who worketh when and where and how he
pleaseth. So also are all other elect
persons who are not outwardly called by the
Word.
This is to be construed in connection
with these words elsewhere:
The rest of mankind God saw fit, according
TO the unsearchable counsel of his viii, where
by he extendeth or withholdeth mercy as he
pleaseth, not to elect unto everlasting life, and
them hath he ordained to dishonor and wrath
for the sin, to the praise of his glorious justice.
yet hath he no pleasure In the death Of the
wicked nor Is 1t his decree, but the wickedness
- % &hAx- ---- A~--A~ a =
dereth them from accepting the free offer OF
his grace made in the gospel.
All the world knows the history of the
Briggs case. It is therefore only neces-
sary to summarize it and present the
issue as it will come before the assembly. |
Dr.. Charles Augustus Briggs, professor in
Union Theological seminary and al a
preacher amenable directly to the New
York city presbytery, adopted the views
Of the German school and taught them

freely to his classes. He held that the
Bible is not infallible, but contains many
errors; that reason is the court Of last
resort in Biblical as in other questions;
that those who reject the Bible may still
have a chance, and many other SO called
liberal ideas. After due formalities the
case went before the general assembly at
Portland and was referred back to the
New York presbytery. That body, 90
ministers and 80 elders voting. acquitted
DR.. Briggson every one of the six charges
by ~majorities ranging from 6 to 81.
It appears, therefore, that a man may
be an acceptable Presbyterian preacher
in New York city while holding and
preaching the following tenets:
First-That reason is a fountain of divine
authority which may and often does savingly
enlighten men. even such as reject the Bible
and the way of salvation through the media
ton and sacrifice Of the Son of God. Vote, 6s
to GO.
~Second-That the church Is a fountain Of d.
vine authority, which, apart from the holy
Scripture, may and does savingly enlighten
men. Vote, II to IS.
Third-That errors existed in the original text
Of the holy Scripture as 1t came from its au-
tAe5s; y e; g I, al q; IL.
Pentateuch. Vote, ~ to So.
Fffth-That Isaiah Is not the author OF half
the book that bears bis name. Vote, 10 to 40.
Sixth--That sanctiacation Is not complete at
death. Vote, o. tQ5T.
Bear In mind that the presbytery did
not by its vote and the general assembly
II 1t acquits will not declare these things
true. They will simply declare that one
may hold and teach them and still Be
fellowshiped as q Presbyterian. Nor
win conviction carry any reflection upon
the convicted as q man. Il will simply
mean that 80 long as he so teaches his
home is somewhere else than In the
Presbyterian church. He also set forth
with great detail that he believed the
Bible TO contain the word Of God and
considerably more, and thst Christ Ia not
the Son Of God in the usually accepted
sense, but in-well, in q sense that the
ordinary layman has never been able to
understand. And yet, despite these
views, certainly as broad az any held by
DR.. Claiming or james Freeman Clarke,
views certainly condemned by every
eouncil which has considered them since
that of Nice, A. D. 325, the Rev. DR..
Charles Augustus Briggs still fills the

Tho Trade of Burglary.

Burglary is trade. 1t has its
tricks, its tools and its ups and downs
1t Is a trade which is continually
changing and improving Methods
Of high class burglars that were in
vogue 20 years ago are hardly known
now. The thief's Jimmy" is out Of
date. Safe blowing has given way to
safe cracking. Four or fve men,
with few sticks Of dynamite, rob q
train nowadays as easily as 20 men
armed to the teeth did it dozen years
ago But in spite of the changes the
motto of all low grade crooks Is, 'The
way TO steal is TO steal. >"
They embrace every opportunity
and steal whenever they can, often
making bungling job and getting
nipped. After a few terms in the
penitentiary, however, they are no
longer low grade crooks, but have be-
come educated professionals. The
penitentiary Is their school. There
they are taught all the improvements
Of the trade, and there many bur-
glars devices are invented by brainy
but vicious men.--St. Louis Globe

Tho Tale Of the Telephene.

The first telephone that was ever
used was not electrical, nor was it a
scientific instrument in any sense of
the term. A little more than so years
ago the employees Of a large manu-
factory beguiled their leisure hours
by kite flying. Kites large and small
went up daily, and the strife was to
see who could get the largest. TIE
twine which held them was the
thread spun and twisted by the la
dies Of the village,
One day to the tale of the largest
kite was attached kitten, sewed in
a canvas bag. with a netting over
the mouth 10 give 1t air. When the
kite was at its greatest height-2o0
feet or more-the mewing could be
heard by those holding the
string. To the clearness of the at
was attributed the hearing
Of the kittens voice. This is the first
account we remember OF speaking
along n line. e.-Sheffield Telegraph.

Apropos Of the hue and cry against
fice throwing et weddings, a little
story In told Of one Of the recent
brides living not many miles from
Brookline. Deciding 10 guard against
this particular form Of warfare, one
Of the members Of the family had
taken the precaution on the evening
Of the eventful day Of locking up the
pantry, and when at the close Of the
reception the self appointed commit
tee Of ushers and bridesmaids started
on their search for the time bonored
article they were confronted by the
insurmonptable obstacle Of q locked
and barred door.
The best man volunteered 10 sup
ply the demand for rice from the
pantry Of his own home, which was
only few rods away, and coon re-
turned, bringing with him all he had
been able to collect. This ammuni
ton was divided among the little
army Of besiegers, who then gath.
cred ut the foot of the stairs and bid
ed their time.
At last quick steps were heard in
the upper hall. Somebody called
out, They're coming" and two fly
ing figures sped down the staircase
and out at the front door, almost
hidden from sight by the thick, white
shower which Immediately enveloped
them, lodging in every available
nook and Granny Of their clothing.
Some Of the more adventurous spir-
its rushed after them into the dark
ness, throwing the last handfuls OF
rice that remained in through the
windows.
Pleased with their success, they re.
to the house and were pictur-
ing to themselves the sensation that
the rice bedecked couple would make
at the hotel for which they were des-
tined, when suddenly carriage was
heard to drive up to the door, the
bride and bridegroom entered and
disappeared into one of the empty
rooms before the astonished group
could realize what had happened. A
lew minutes later they again
emerged, serene and smiling, and
'reed from all evidence of the late
ray, and proceeded leisurely to take
heir second departure, while the
low empty handed and discounted
yuests were fain to own themselves
