The action of the Chicago Presbytory in the onse of tho Rov. Dr. McKnig—submitting hig {wo nlleged herotical aormons to tho Sncramento Prosbytory, with n roquost that thoy oxamine his doctrinal soundndss, aud récommonding the Sossion of the Niuth Prosbyterinu Churoch to dis- solvo tho minlstorial relntion—hns occasfoned littlo talke.among the membors and congrogation of tho Ninth Church, Although noformal action bins yet boon taken, it-is not unlikely that tho Sossion will ignore tho recommondationy and thint Dr. McKalg will continio preaching. For tho purpose of loamning the fecling with rogard tothe controversy, a reporier of Tug TRIBUNE yostordny wont in senrch of the Elders of the charch, 1o found Mr. Cloorge I, Loonard In his oftico, and had the subjoined convorsation with bim. COURSE OFTIIE AEBSION. R.—~What do the Sossion intond doing about 1ho McKalg mattor? Mr. Leonard—I think they aro unanimously in favor of lotting things run along, and paying no attention to tho Prosbytory. . R.—1ill that courso not oocasion soma trou- Dlo? Mr. Leonard—I think not. R.—Is tho Sossion not bound by the laws of tho Onurch o heed the onlors of the Presby- tory? p ofir. Loonsrd—We do not considor that wo havo soy order, but merely a rccommendatton, and wo thwi the Presbytory Lad'no good ground for making it, TROF. TATTON 8AYW the ovidence ngainst McKaig is not nearly so strong ay agninsk Prof. Swing, snd’ we think it MeKaig is susponded Bwing ought slso to be. Our pastor has not beon troated fairly, Besides, tho poople in the Church boliove thay the recom- tnondution was mada that wo might bava A JIOLE TO CRAWL OUT OF, It wos not expocted that we would' oboy it. When the Committee of the Prosbytory mot tho Beneion, thoy scemed to have an impression that 1t was nocossary to mako an arbitrary ruling.— that hchxilgh should stop proaching until tho uestion of his heresy was dispoacd of ; and tho ession told them that the church would un- doubtedly refuse to consont to such a thing. C'hen tho Committeo concluded that they must |. make somo recommondation, and they mado this oue, loaving it discretionary with us. M'KAIG WILL REEP ON PREACHING. R.—Mr. McKaig will continue to preach, then? Dlr. Leonard—Yes. X would like to state that thero was a meoting Wednesday night, after the rayer-meeting, of some of the promiuent mom- Doty of the clugoh, aud, thoy farored loaviag the Presbytory and establishing oither an indepond- ent church or joinln(i some other denomination, g‘—nnu any dofinite steps been taken to that end? Mr. Leonard—Not yot. Tho Sossion hava beou urged to talke no stops until tho Presbytery make s peremptory order. TERFECTLY SATIBFIED, R.—Are tha cougregation satisfled with Mo~ ‘Knig's preaching ? QMr. Loonard—Yes. R.—And do thoy agree with his views? Mr. Leonard—Yos, Bomoe of them are not well ploasod, but the groat majority are unitod. Tha chureh 18 moro of & uuit now thau it over han been bofore, and the members would all go out with him. WHERE WILL THEY G0 2 R.~—What denomination do you think thoy will foin in case they turn their backs upon Oal- vanism ? Mr. Leonard—Some favor Congrogationalism wnd others tho Amorican Leformed, and & fow would follow the teachinge of Bishop Cloney. T.—It Prof, Swing bo found guilty of heresy, would you think it fair to regard McKeig in the same light ? Mr, Loopard—No. We let McKaig stand on his morits, .—Has tho action of the Presbytery occaslon- ed much talk among the congrogation ? Mr. Teonard—Somo, but they are mnot vory much interestod 1n it. WIAT 'TAIG WILL DO. i ‘R.—?-lt s immaterial what the Prosbytory ocs Mr. Loonard—Yes. I think tho churoh, how- aver, is willing to abide by tho decision of the California Proshytory. R.—Suppose 1t were adverso, would MeKaig sppeal to the Bynod ? r. Loonard—I bave no doubt he wauld, but bo is satisfled they will not find bim guilty of boresy. R.--Merely Eumy of liborality ? Mr, Leonard—Yes. N,—If thoy do, and the Bynod affirms their finding, what courso will ho pursuo 2 Mr. Leonard—te would take tho matter be- foro the Gonoral Assembly. R.—~Should that body not sustain him, what would rosult ? : Mr.. Leounrd-—That {a very romote, but the probabilitics are that an independent chureh .would bo cstablished, or tho people unite with somo other donomination, “Fho roporter then turnod to Mr. A. T. Ewlog, n membor of the charch, who was in thoe room, and questioned Lim. A GRAND PRESDYTERIAN GHOURCH, Tt.—What do you think rlout tho mattor ? Mr. nwm§—1 do not think an Independont church would be eatablisbed for the snke of hav- ing MeKaig ministor, bu that if ho were found to bo hoteradox ho would have to go olsowhere, Tho Ninth is o good Presbytorian church.
