McGlmert Leaves rresbyter,nna.

Dr. A. G. Mctiilrcrt of Union Theolog-
zeal seminary, long under charges Of here
sy has withdrawn from the Presbyterian
church. He mailed letter on Monday
to Moderator Duilicd of the New York
presbytery asking that his name be
stricken from the rolls. Ii was impossi-
BILE to obtain a copy of the letter, but it is
known that it contained nothing beyond
the simple request. 1t is said, however,
that Professor McGiffert at some future
time will give his reasons at length. DR..
McGiffert's reasons for withdrawing
three weeks before the next meeting OF
the presbytery was to notify his friends
and his enemies as well of his decision
and thus save the annoyance in the selec-
ton of commissioners to the general as
sembly. With him out of Presbyterian
ism, as he now is, the choice OF commits
sioners by the various presbyteries will
not be affected by his case.
