Church, N |

MINNEAPOLIS. MINI, May 2or--Dh
A. T. McGifert, of the Union Theological
Seminary, by letter to the Presbyterian
General Assembly, to-day refused to CONS
ply with it's request of last year that he
should modify his attitude on doctrinal
matters, expressed in his Christian
Church in the Apostolic Age" or else
withdraw from the Church. Instead Of
modifying his views. he declares that he
is in accord with Presbyterian doctrine
on all vital points, and far from withs
drawing, he declares that he cannot withs
draw.
The language OF the letter was so cour.
teous that many OF the conservatives in
the assembly joined the liberals In APP
pauding 1t when the stated clerk had
read il. Notwithstanding the fact that DIR.
McGiffert had refused to do tho bidding
Of the Church.
LETTER A SURPRISE.
The letter was a surprise. The Come
mittee on Bills and Overtures, DR.. Wal.
lace Radcliffe chairman. will pass upon
the letter An influential member Of the
committee declares that tho letter " ex-
actly what 1t should not be, except fcS
its courtesy, but the spirit or tho COM
mlttee and Of the whole assembly Is such
that it IS hard to say what will be done.
There will be careful consideration by
the committee and the assembly
In the end, the assembly will either
Yeassert its position OF last year and let
the matter drop. or else recommend that
the New York Presbytery take up the
question of the expulsion Of Dr. McGlnert,
which means q heresy trial.

4 Negro Intruder.

The inmates of DR.. Shields house were
greatly alarmed last evening by the In
trusion OF a negro in an advanced stage
OF intoxication. The matter was reported
to the police Of the Second District, but
before an officer could arrive the man
had disappeared. Upon investigation. II
appeared that a cOlored man who had
been visiting one of the servants for
some time had been warned 10 keep
away by the girls parents. His disap-
pointment seems TO have taken the form
of alcoholism. and under it's influence he
determined to brave the threats OF the
opposItiOn.
