which Is considered by those who should know
to be true
great stir made among the one hun
ored preachers gathered last night at the recep-
uon at Mrs William Thaws house by the an
nouncement that Union Theological Seminary
had discarded the Westminster Confession of
Faith and that the faculty of the seminary had
accepted one of their own by unanimous vote
This action at followed by the gift
to the seminary of S25o,0U0 by two men, one OF
whom is believed to be Robert c. Ogden 1t

to cut the last slender thread which held ii to

The Rev. Thomas s. Hastings, of the Union

Il don't believe there is a word OF truth in the
statement that the Union Theological Seminary
has discarded the Westminster Confession of

members of the faculty. were not bound to en-
brace the Confession of Faith when accepting
professorship."

that newly appointed professors adopted the
Westminster Confession of Faith in general
way and he could not how the confession
of faith could be discarded. when there was

1t was said last night by a person interested
in the institution that Mr.. Ogden had given no
money that he knew of. Two sums of Slzoovo
each were announced at recent meeting OF the
board of directors having been given TO the
seminary, but they not donated by Mr..
Ogden.
1t was said that the seminary no longer rep
resents a distinctly denominational body, but
rests upon broad evangelical platform. For
