New York. April i0.-Thc Herald
says; Again the Mc0inert hercsy case
IN up and this time In gravcr force than

sin Of hcrcsy to Westminster standards.
In added contempt for tho Presbyterian

Rev. DR.. Arthur Cushman McGincrt

stated that the Lords supper was no
more than an ordinary meal.
There were other statements OF
similar character and they created dla-
auccion approaching the BrggH case.
A move was made by the Prcsbytcry of
Pittsburg. In the form VI nm overture
70 the general assembly " last year.
The Presbyterian church has had sew
erni years OF discord. and there was a
general feeling that the thing most 10
be desired was peace.
The general assembly committee
brought In three rports--a majority

dropped. The other directed the New

The majority report was confcssediy

the Presbyterian ministry. Therc was
no intimation that he was TO report TO
the forthcoming general assembly.

18th. Nor did the resolution state who
was 10 confer with him. The whole
action Of last years assembly looked
toward peace. Friends OF DR.. McGincrt
have been saying that the matter II at
an end, that unless some one called "
up II would not be heard In
the general assembly this year. But
last week letters were rcccivod
In this city from mcmborr OF N. Pitts
burg Prcsbytofy Co the effect that the
pittHburg commissioners, whoever they
were. would not fail TO press the mat

that not only has the hcrcry To the
weaiminHter standards not been with
drawn, but the highest court In the
church, that 10 which Or. Mc0iffcrt has
vowed obedience. has been ignored.
There are now two charges against
the Union professor instead Of one. II
II certain, therefore, that the charges
viii not be passed over at Minnea-
polls.
IL IL not considered likely. however.
that the Presbyterian meeting today
will take nnv notice Of tho matter. II
II recognized that nothing can be an-
