A meeting of some Importance was
held last week in New York city. Forty
Episcopal priests met for consultation.
They talked as to the necessity of form
ing or organizing a Church Defence
Society" in order to combat what is
called broad churchism." DR.. Briggs
and his ordination inspired this gath
ering. They did not like the situation
in the Episcopal church, (which has
been accentuated by the recent ordi-
nation of DR.. Briggs to the priest
hood in the face Of protests against
his teachings as to the Holy Scrip
lures, ITO quote from the Tribune's re-
port. When such a hereto is pushed
upon them it vas high time for all be-
levers in the verities of the Bible as
the inspired Word Of Jehovah to take
counsel together. The Tribune says That
1.-The discussion, which was quite gen.
eral, was to the effect that it was felt
at heart in it's belief that the Bible
was h Word of God, but that the ad-
vancement of DR.. Briggs to the priest
hood had laid the church open to the
accusation that it was tolerant Of un-
belief in the Bible, and that it had
paved the way for the admission Of
heretics to the ministry of the church,
n that something had to be done to
keep false teachers out of the priest
hood. It was urged that the clergy and
laity must get together, lay aside all
minor differences and take their stand
upon the foundation principles Of the
Christian religion, faith in the Bible,
the incarnation and the Trinity, and
ernestly contend against the encroach-
ment of Broad Church teaching in the
Episcopal Church."
1t was given out that leading lay
men were much aroused at the trend
of things, and speakers said that they
felt deeply "the slur that had been cast
upon the Church of not holding faith
in the Bible, as essential, and that they
were pressed by these laymen not II
permit the Church to stand accused
of not believing in Holy Ser, pture. II
was said that this feeling is deep and
widespread among representative law
| men in New York, in parishes of all
types of churchmanship, and a dispo-
| sition to act vigorously was manifested
by those present" This is very health
full and hopeful surely! The laymen
in all the churches are more apt to be

Before the Mazer Committee-Captain
Price and His Lawyer Ordered from
the Room-Thc Latter objects and 10
Forcibly Elected.

New York. June 2.-Colonel Hender-
son, lawyer for Captain Price, was
elected from the Mazet committee in
vestigating room today because he in
sisted upon his right to advise the cap
tain, who was on the witness stand. In
regard to his replies to questions ask
ed by Consul Moss. Price refused TO
answer questions regarding a charge
of perjury that he had made against
Mr.. Moss. The captain also refused
upon the advice Of Colonel Henderson
to give the name Of the witness whom
he had charged Mr.. Moss had induced
to testify falsely Prices manner OF
replying to>questions was irritating to
the committee. and Chairman Mazet
repeatedly r~eprimanded him, and also
Mr.. Henderson, who frequently advised
his client not to reply to questions. Mr..
! Mazet finally told Henderson he would

! room and Henderson said: TRY it.
l will not leave the room while / am
alive"
After Price had declined to answer
a long string Of questions Mr.. Moss
shouted: "Mr. Mazet, you have de-
| clared you would put Captain Price and
his counsel out of the room if witness
declined to answer my questions. 1t
is time to act now"
Captain Price, if you refuse to an
swer, you and your counsel must leave
the ROOM" said Mr.. Mazet.
"All right" said Captain Price, "T1l
go out"
Captain Price then started out, but
Mr.. HENDERSON refused to go, saying
he stood upon his rights as an Ameri
can citizen and would not go. There
was something of a wrangle between
Mr.. Mazet and Mr.. Henderson and then
the former said: "Mr. Henderson, your
client has left the stand and you viii
have to leave"
when | want to speak as counsel
I'll let the committee know. l shall
remain as a spectator"
Mr.. Mazet, at first agreed that Mr.
Henderson might remain as a specta-
tor, but a few minutes later when the
crowd in the court room made a dem
onstration in favor of Mr.. Henderson
Mr.. MaZet ordered the sergeant-at-
arms to remove the lawyer from the
room. Several deputies surrounded
Henderson, who warned them and the
sergeant-at-arms not to touch him. A
scuffle ensued and the disorder in thu
room became so great that Mr.. Maze
called upon Captain Price, as a police
officer, to quell the disturbance. Col.
onel Henderson, then, upon the advict
of Captain Price allowed the sergeant.

Let us make a statement here. Books
are sometimes sent "for review" We
give brief notices, but rarely review" a
book. The latter requires careful read
ing. but we do not read books simply
to review them. That demands much
time. We write twice a week. touching
upon matters pertaining to literature,
but we write mainly of things, Of writ
ers, of books we are already acquaint-
ed with. There is no reviewer con-
nected with this office. The writer Of
literary and religious articles is a gen.
eral journalist, writing daily of many
current Inc other things in many de-
partments Of human investigation and
endeavor-politics, sociology, discover
| les, news, etc. We have not tine to
| read just to oblige. We have SOME
hours of our own outside Of j~aurnalis-
tic toll, and these are precious and de-
! voted to the qualification of personal
| taste and search after truth n knowl-
| edge. We could not e a novel, for
instance, because it is sent for re
view" We could not punish ourselves
in that way, for it might not be worth
| considering. We cannot read volumes
of poems, by unknown writer's, and we
have received several such, in order
to either praise or condemn. We will
make mention Of such books, giving
name, author, publisher, etc. A ere
viewer" of books must not be a gen.
eral writer, but a special writer, Civ
ing his time exclusively to reading th6
books and discussing their merits. Our
own time for labor is given to the ser
vice of the state, of the people OF
| North Carolina, of the interests Of the
south-to the upbuilding of a high Gand
| commanding civilization, to h dis
cussion of facts, arguments, sta
tistics and to the faithful exposure OF
ISLANDERS, lies and defamations aimed Al
our people, and particularly to the
strengthening and maintaining of un
adulterated Anglo-Saxon government
in North Carolina.

If a allowed. we would like to

of this richly endowed son of the south

two quotations. His wife was English,

celebrated a faithful wife's virtues and
endowments with finer phrasing or
more poetic ~numbers?:
..All birds that love the English sky
Throng round my path. when she Ii

The bIackbird from a neighborins

With music brims the cup of morn:
And III a thick, melodious rain

But only, when my katie's voice
Makes all the listening woods rejoice,
I hear-wfth cheeks that flush and
pale

The man who wrote that was verify
a poet of the heart. Looking beyond,
with jhilosophic calm" this southern
singer with the shadows Of death per-
haps already fallen upon him, gave
voice in these strong lines:
Bus all! through cares alone We reach
The happiness that mocketh speech;
In the white courts beyond h stars
| The noblest brows are scanned with
scars"
