Brunswick Prssbytsry Will Meet to
ConSider the Case
or the Rev. DR.. Shields-A Crisis
In the Controversy Unless They
Stand by Him in an Emphatic
Way He Will Withdraw from the
Presbyterian Church, in Whose
Service He Has Spe MT Lifetime.

Princeton, N. j., November S.-The
Presbytery of New Brunswick is to
meet here on Thursday of this week to
consider the case of Rev. DR.. Charles
w. Shields. The meeting is a special
one, held at Dr. Shields. and it marks
crisis in the Princeton Inn contro-
versy. DIR. Shields proposes to with
draw from the church as consequence
of the attacks made upon him. Should
his Presbytery stand by him on the is
sue made against him by some Western
Synods, he might alter his determine
ton.
Last evening DR.. Shields, in company
with ex-President Cleveland and a
number of the freeholders of Princeton,
signed the application for the license of
the Princeton Inn. The Inn is hotel
of superior appointments, and, although
a few of the alumni are interested in
it financially, it has 40 connection what
ever either with the faculty or the trus-
tees of the university. Through the ac-
tiyity of the Voice, the Prohibition
newspaper, DR.. Shields name, as well
as the names of the other signers of the
application, was brought to public no.
tice. The attacks of the Voice have
been repeated and virulent. To this
abuse by what he characterizes as the
"yellow literature of professional pro-
hibition," DIR. Shields has paid no no
tice.
He says also distinctly that he has
no grievance against the brethren in
the ministry with whom he is imme-
diately associated But a number OF
ecclesiastical bodies have taken sum-
mary action on the matter without
communicating with DR.. Shields or
attempting to learn his position or
motive. Notably the synods of In
diana and South Dakota have passed
dehverances on the subject. This DIR.
Shields regards as unconstitutional
and disgraceful, and for his own pro-
lection proposes to withdraw from his
present ecclesiastical connections.
Dr. Shields is one of the ablest pro-
} fessors in time Of service in Princeton
University. Helwas graduated from
Princeton College in the class of 1874.
He studied theology in Princeton SEM
inary. taking four years course. He
was pastog of the First Presbyterian
church of Hampstead, L. l., in 1S49-
60 and lof the Second Presbyterian
nSurch (of Philadelphia from 1850 to
~ 1855 he was elected to the
he "HaYnony of Science and
55N ~ at Princeton, and
has held this professorship to the
present day. He has always been
strong advocate of Christian union,
and has been prominent in the efforts
made to secure some equitable basis
for union of the Episcopal and Pres
byterian churches.
While opinions differ as to the eth
ical aspects of the case of DR.. Shields,
there is strong sentiment in the Pres
byterian church that he had a serious
grievance in the summary action taken
by the western synods.
