FURTHER CONTROVERSY.

Professor Arthur c. McGiffert It is under
stood by a few Clergymen who are in his con-
idence will withdraw from the Presbyterian
Church and thus prevent heresy trial and the
continuance of the controversy which has al
ready caused serious trouble within that
Church. According to clergyman who was
present at the meeting. the Rev. DR.. McGifrert
called into conference fifteen eighteen of
his most intimate friends. This conference
was held at Union Seminary February 10.
four days after the Presbytery had voted TO
drop the matter and before Il was certainly
known that the Rev. DIR. Birch would enter an
appeal. Into this conference Professor McGif-
fert did not invite Professor Briggs. but he did
ask some other OF his fellow professors at Union
Professor McGiffert went over every phase OF
the case. At the close he asked for advice 1t
is known that he expressed solicitation for the
peace Of the Church in which he reared.
stated that he disliked the publicity OF 1t all
and had consideration for the possible effect the
unrest might have upon Union Seminary.
The response that came from his friends was
to the effect that his own interests and those
OF the Presbyterian Church. indeed OF Christian
ity in general. would best be served by his
voluntary withdrawal. After some further dis
cussion Professor McGinert acquiesced In the
matter, and expressed his intention 10 with
draw He will not himself attend the Presby-
terry which will meet March T. but will
delegate his friend, Professor Brown, 10 speak
for him.
II IS said that the likelihood that the next
Assembly will be conservative also had a share
in bringing about the decision.

at the meeting OF the Presbytery condemned DR..
