Of the Bible. 1t was recognized that he
represented the conservative side of this
question, which has been agitating the
Presbyterian Church of the United States
for some years past and to this extent it
may be said the sermon was of a contro-
versial character.
Indeed one Of the most prominent of the
Scottish delegates said, in commenting on
the sermon that the views expressed were
of a more radical character than they were
accustomed to hear on the other side of the
water. AT the same time he said in a gen.
eral way that he rather sympathiZed in
that way of thinking.
The Sentiment Expressed.
The members of the alliance have been
together for such a short time that 1t is
impossible to say precisely to what extent
the views of Professor De Witt represent
those of the delegates. There is a good
deal Of curiosity manifested on the part of
some of the delegates to know exactly how
the alliance stands on this question, but Of
course 1t would be impossible to determine
that, except in an unofficial way, as the al
lance does not vote on any question.
Some of the delegates, however, express
ed the opinion that Professor De Witt in
his utterances In regard to higher cr1ti-
cism, voiced the sentiment of a great ma
jority of those In attendance at the Ses-
sons of the alliance. STILL 1t is recognized
that there are some who take the opposite
ground from that of the preacher Of the
sermon.

An Enthusiastic Meeting Held at Com

pany Headquarters.
The National Fencibles held an enthu-
siastic meeting at their quarters Tuesday
night, at which were present a great many
members of the old drill teams. 1t was de-
cided to hold a reunion Friday night, when
steps are to be taken looking to the or
ganization of a veteran corps, to be COM
posed of those who have been members of
the various drill teams. 1t was also de-
cided to reduce the dues to 81 per month,
and negotiations are in progress looking
to the securing of a large number of the
young men who have associated themselves
with one of the prospective National Guard
companies. 1t is probable that an ar
rangement to this end will be soon con-
summated.
The resignation of Lieutenant Eugene
Crist was accepted, he having secured a
position with the American exhibit at the
Paris exposition, which will necesstate his
absence.
A committee, composed of Messrs. John
A. Butler, T. H Hall, ]. G. STEELE and w.
x. Nottingham. was appointed to arrange
for a series of entertainments and dances
The company also decided to exert itself
to secure a large turn out next Tuesday.

situation in England as compared with that
in this country, as the Anglican church was
a state church, and parliament, he de-
cussion of religious questions.
Just think" he added. amid much laugh
ter. IF you had to go to your own Con-
gress with such matters"
He went on to say that If the Anglican
church Is to remain Protestant the prayer
book must be revised. and this would not
be done. he said, until the church becomes
seif-governing. He went on to say that the
Romish church Is bending all her energies
to capture the Anglo-Saxon race. He quot
ed Roman Catholic authorities to the
effect that the ritualists in the English
church are doing the work Of Catholics
better than they could.
AS the result of the present agitation, the
speaker predicted, there would be self gov
eminent established in the church, but 1t
would not be possible to bring this about
without separation of church and state.
He warned his hearers that even in the re-
formed churches 1t was important, in Or
der to keep the young people firm In the
faith, that they should be taught the prin-
ciples Of the reformation
In conclusion the speaker offered a reso-
luton that the alliance deplore the spread
of sacerdotalism and sacramentarism in
England. and that the importance of In
structing the people In the principles OF
the reformation be enforced. This resolu-
tee.

THE PRESBYTERIAN SYSTEM

The second days session of the seventh
general council of the PanPresbyterian
Alliance began this morning in the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church shortly
after 10 o'clock. The delegates were rather
slow in coming together, and when the
president of the alliance, Rev. DR.. Lang,
reached the platform the portion of the
church reserved for the delegates showed
a good many vacant places. The general
public was likewise dilatory and there was
only a scattering of people in the galleries
and on the floor A large proportion Of
the spectators were ladies. AS time wore
on, however, more delegates as we'll as
spectators came in. and the seats were
pretty we'll occupied. The appearance of
the church in the vicinity of the platform
was of a more businesslike character than
was the case yesterday. On either side of
the platform were the desks of the gen.
