All this looked formal enough. but theNew
York radicals went on TO denounce in a
brotherly way any attempt to dictate the
choice of pastors. Immediately the old
Briggs controversy arose from its grave.
Some spea kers declared the assembly had
aimed at Union Seminary at which Dr.
Briggs was professor, and declared that
they would not sit down and see him hit
with left-handed blows. The matter went
over, but is expected to be sprung on the
assembly. II IL so happens renewal of the

successor will probably be the Rev. DR..
David Il. Breed, pastor OF the First Pres
byterian Church of Pittsburg although
there are other candidates who have a
strong following. DR.. Breed is a native
OF Pittsburg, where lie was born in lS49.
At the last Saratoga assembly DR.. Breed
made powerful speech against Prof. Smith

man OF robust physique and tremendous
vitality. The friends of the Higher Criti-
cism. who are therefore friends OF DR..
Briggs, do not expect to receive much en-
couragemcnt from his robust orthodoxy.
They expect to be able to defeat him and
secure what they call a broader, man for

Saratoga, y. Y, May l6.-The general

United states, will begin its sessions here
next week. What seemed like har-
monious meeting some months ago now
promises TO be a hot-bed of bitter Grimm
alton and recrimination owing to the
temperance of tue Briggs ghost, which
has given signs recently of a desire to
revisit the glimpses of the moon and
stir up more trouble than did the shade OF
Hamiet's father. A few weeks ago at the
meeting of the New York Presbytery an
innocent little resolution was introduced
merely reciting that the general assembly
at its 1895 meeting had attempted to
dictate 10 presbyteries by declaring against
the employment of preachers whose theo-
logical education had been received at an

Irritation, between the representatives of
the Presbyterian Church and the Protest
ant Episcopal Church for some time. As
the assembly meets every year aud the
general convention only onCein three years.
there have been more overtureS from the
Presbyterian end of the sofa than from
that occupied by the other party.
PLAYED THE STERN FATHER.
The general assembly however, pIa we'd
the stern-father act a year or so ago, a nd
directed It's committee to suspend further
correspondence with the Protestant Epis-
copal commission until it secured from it's
general convention instructions to accent
aud act upon doctrines already laid down.
The burden of the correspondence with
the Episcopalians has been that mutual
recognition and reciprocity between the
different bodies who profess the true re-
ligion is the first and essential step toward
practical unity; in other words. that if
there is to be permanent union the con-
cessions must be mutual, and a step in
that direction, the Presbyterians think,
would be the exchange of pulpits by res
byterians and Episcopaiians
This step the latter body has not been
willing to take yet, but it is not d roba BILE
that at this day the incident would be re-
peated which is told OF the Rev. Dr. Arthur
Cleveland Coke. the present Episcopal
bishop of Western New York, who is said
to have remarked to his father the Rev.
Samuel Hanson Coke, resbyterian. of
New York:
while I am glad to acknowledge you
as my father. am sorry to say thatI can
not recognize you as clergyman"
May the ord forgive me for begetting u
fool" was the rejoinder of the pious Pres
byterian preacher.
