ing his own address IN Fundamentals"
made when he presented his eport to
the conference last May, as chairman OF
the committee which investigated the
seminary.
None of the officers Of the seminary
could be reached yesterday, but it was
said by one closely acquainted with their
ideas that they had given up paying
attention to any of the orthodox state
ments because no action could be taken
until the graduating students of the
seminary come up for entrance into
the P~resbytery next spring, DR., Mat
thews has announced his Intention of
fighting their admission to the Presby-
terry at that time unless they prove to
be more orthodox than seminary gradu-
ates in years past,
In he pamphlet just issued he says
"Theie is no room in the Presbyterian
Church and pulpits for Unitarian lee
urers. Churches should be loyal to
Christ and refuse to call any man who
expresses doubt or unbelief in these great
fundamentals, Such false teachers have
brought the world to a condition of
great sin and sorrow. Arise. leaders.
