FOR THE SCHOOLS GOOD
DIR. G.. I'll. GILBERT's RESIGNATION
ACCEPTED BY DIRECTORS.
Compromise Verdict in the Case of an
Alle-sd Heretfcal Professor of a
Theological Seminary.

CHICAGO. May s.-What is regarded as a
compromise verdict was reached by the di-
rectors of the Chicago Theological Semi
nary to-day i'm the case of DR.. George H.
Gilbert, professor of New Testament liter
allure and Interpretation of the seminary.
The directors voted 70 accept Gilbert's
resignation. but that this action was based
on the charge that his teachings advanced
in his two books, Revelations of Jesus
and The Teachings of the Apostles" con-
tanned heretical paragraphs is not clear.
1t was said the directors did not consider
his teachings in these books as bearing on
the charge of heresy. but concluded in a
general way that il was best for the pro-
fessors connection with the seminary to
cease. To-day's decision does not affect
Dr. Gilberts standing in the local Congre-
gational Church. of which he is member.
The charges were first brought against
the author two years ago by the Rev. Z. s.
Carr, of Stillman Valley. who declared that
The Revelations of Jesus contained pass
ages contrary to the creed of the seminary.
The trouble hinged on the phrase, 1.-The
ideal pre-existence of Christ" Mr. Carr
declared that the phrase was tantamount to
denial 10 the actual pre-existence of
MED, and asked leave TO prepare a second
volume further calculating his meaning.
He was granted years leave of absence,
and recently the advance sheets of this
book were placed in the hands of the di-
rectors. After considering the two books
as a whole yesterday no one was found
TO still advance a charge that the profess
sOr's teachings were heterodox. There still
remained feeling. however, that the semi
nary would be better without the author
of the troublesome books, and action was
accordingly taken along that line. Neither
Mr.. Carr, who brought the original accusa-
ton, nor DIR. Gilbert, were present at the
sessions of the directors.
The board meetings yesterday and to-day
were conducted with great secrecy. 1t IS
said that hot discussion began yesterday
afternoon and lasted far into the night
and that ii was again taken up this morn
ing. the Rev. w. r.. Barton leading a spir-
tied defense of the accused teacher. DR..
Gilbert was popular with his pupils, and a
number of them have threatened to leave
the seminary and go 10 Oberlin as a re-
suit of the verdict. The report gives the
reason for the professors dismissal, thus:
For the good of the seminary and of DR..
Gilbert" Ii concludes with the highest
commentator of the minister as a man
and Christian, and remarks His con-
scientious loyalty TO the truth as il has
been given him TO see the truth.
In letter from DR.. Gilbert to the direc-
tors he pleads that to-day'S view of the
Bible 5 teachings is not necessarily wrong
because il is contrary TO the view OF fifty
years ago.

years. 1t is the fastest organization that
during the last two or three games there

Dayton and Columbus have been criticised
for playing poor bail, but Dayton can play
better ball than was seen here by that ag-
gregation and will the next time they are
seen here. Manager Armour admitted that
his men were on edge all through the Sc

they could not make a bunder IL they
wanted to win from indianapolis. As a re-
suit they became nervous and indianapolis
outplayed them. Columbus did not play
worse ball than was witnessed last year

contests. Good weather and good playing.
