freely to his classes. he held that the
Bible is not infalible, 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 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, 80
ministers and 30 elders voting, acquitted
DR.. Briggs on every one Of the six charges
by majorities ranging from to 81.
1t 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 fountain of divine
authority which may and often does savingly
en1ghten men, even such as reject the Bible
and the way of salvation through the media
ton and sacrifice Of the Son of God. Vote, 88
TOGO.
Second-That the church is fountain of d.
vine authority, which, apart from the holy
Scripture, may and does savingly enliphten
men. Vote, n to IS
Th1rd-That errors existed in the original text
Of the holy Scripture as it came from its au-
thors. Vote, 68 to 81.
Fourth-That Moses is not the author Of the
Pentateuch. Vote, Il to IS.
Fifth-That Isaiah is not the author of half
the DOCK that bears his name. Vote, 70 to 49,
Sixth-That sanctifcation is not complete at
death. Vote, 60 to 81.
Bear IN mind that the presbytery did
not by its vote and the general assembly
IT it acquits will not declare these things
true. They will simply declare that one
may hold and teach them and still be
fellowshiped as a Presbyterian. Nor
will conviction carry any reflection upon
the convicted as man. It will simply
mean that so 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 th:At Christ is not
the Son Of God in the usually accepted
sense, but in-well, in a sense that the
ordinary layman has never been able to
understand. And yet, despite these
views, certainly as broad as any held by
DR.. Claiming or James Freeman Clarke,
views certainly condemned by every
council which has considered them since
that of Nice, A. D. 1926, the Rev. DR..
Charles Augustus Briggs still fills the
Robinson chair ON Biblical theology in

From the Worlds Fair to Washington
and the East.

Do you contemplate going to the
World Fair? OF course you do
every one does. But you will not
end your journey with a visit to the
fair. You will want to go back to
the old home in New York, Ohio or
Pennsylvania. You will, perhaps,
want incidentally to go to Washing
ton, call on the president to inquire
after the plum" crop; in fact make
a swing around the whole circles
take in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh,
Wheeling, Washington, Baltimore
and New York. That would make a
splendid trip if taken over the Balti-
more & Onion railroad. Over no
other railroad route in all the east
can there be found more delightful
and varied scenery than over the
famous B. & O. 1t is the only direct
route from Chicago to Washington.
Leaving Chicago, on the fines and
fastest trains in thew orld, vestibuled
from end to, end, lighted by the
famous Pintsch gas. protected by
Pullman's arti-telescoping device,
and perfect block system, you are
rapidly whirled over splendid road
bed and down through the grand
old states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Virginia., away up
among the mountain Businesses of
the Alleghenies, past hundreds OF
historic battlefelds and places OF
note. You cannot conceive of a
.grander trip an oil the American con-
tincnt. If you contemplate visiting
the old home inthe- east You should
not,fail to travel by way OF the Bal
timore & Chic %ceailroad. For in

Greece is a republic, the cable
tells us. The king has abdicated.
Greece was the birthplace of civil
liberty. 1t was at Athens that the
people were first allowed to stand up
and lift their voices in defense OF
their own individual interests. 1t
was not an ideal republic, nor YET
did the bell of liberty, first rung there,
peal as grandly as in later days,
but its reverberations were heard at
Philadelphia, taken up anew and
still more grandly rung. 1t is pecu-
liarly appropriate that the mother of
civil liberty should again become a
republic.

The attorney general Of Minnesota
has rendered an important opinion at
the request, of State Superintendent
Kiehle. It is to the effect that boards
of Trustees have authority to provide
for introducing free text books into
their districts, even though the people
at school elections vote against the
measure. If the people fail to vote
funds for that purpose the trustees
may under the General Statutes levy
tax to provide the books. Also that
boards Of trustees may contract with
publishers at prices lower than those

instruction.

Grated and saved by Christ through the Spirit,
who Worketh when and where and how he
p1easeth. 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 At, according
to the unsearchable counsel Of his will, whero-
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 sim to the praise Of his glorious justice
yet hath he no pleasure in the death Of the
wicked nor is it his decree, but the wickedness
OF their own hearts, which restaineth and hin
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.

BASE BALL.
Little Falls Won-Waiting for More
Worlds to COnquer-A n Exceed
!. - ingly Fine Game. !.


The greatest attraction judged
by the crowd which it drew was the
magnificent game of base ball be-
tween the celebrated "Moxies," Of
Minneapolis, and the "Invincibles, ;"
OF Little Falls. The boys which
compose the Moxies are all fine fell
lows and arrived yesterday forenoon.
1t Is strong club and did some ex-
ceedlngly fine playing yesterday: but
the Little Falls club which breathes
the bracing atmosphere of the pines
was just little too much for them
although it was a very close game.
They registered at the Columbia as
follows; William Ploof, Jack Page,
Bert Page, John Doherty. Paul
thompson, C. j. Scanlon, George
Townsend, A. Hill, Robert johnson
Peter D vidson, and Chas. Ende. 1t
is undoubtedly the. best club in Min
neapolis today, and it was supposed
that with all the professional ball
players in Minneapolis a team would
be gotten up that would surely de-
feat the Little Falls club after COM
Ing 100 miles, and the club as whole
was very strong one. But Goetz,
the pfcher, of Little Falls gave them
some pretty scientific balls, and in
fact all the boys of our club did very
excellent work. Toward the last of
the game it was very exciting
and upon the, last innings
it / seemed somewhat doubtful
as to which would win, but at last
when it was seen that Little Falls
had won by a score Of to 6. the air
resounded with acclamations of joy.
The Little Falls club was composed,
as follows: Goetz, picher; ~Osbourn,
catcher; Hall, F., short stop; McGon-
agile, first base; Hall, w., second
base; Bell, third base; Ashton. left
field; Morrison, center field; Galley,
right field. Alex Van Praag was
