YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, Apectat Dispatch to The Chieag ‘Tribune, Sycamore, ML, Oct, 6&—Tho Eeclesiastical Court met this afternoon in the Congres tonal Church, Moderator Fowler tn the chair, ‘Tho Rev. {sine Linebarger opened the proceedings with prayer. Brother Miller, of counsel for tho defense, sald that Brother Bennett could not appenr, but the defense was willing lo go on, Brother Miller then opened his argument In support of the demurrer tpalnst the see- ond charge, which charged the preaching of doctrine against tho standard of the Chureh, ‘The defense clalmed that no standard was apeeidied, and therefore the defense could not be properly prepared and ‘arranged, not knowing what to plead, Brother Hatheld sald the charge was squares lystated. The prosecution would prove whit It Sharges, and it remained for tho Court to de- termine witether the doctrines had been vice inted or not, He confessed it was not the business of the prosecution to furnish any standards, Lrother Miller sald that the defense de- murred to the charge of violuting the Article of Heligion, because no article was specified. Hoe thon read the tie. murrer, which was presented to the Court yesterday, ‘Thera ought to be astatement as towhat articles of relighon and standards have been transgressed, and in thelr absence it will bedifieutt to determine Just what has been done, Outside;the Articles of Mtellglon it witl ba hard to find two persons who will agree as to WHAT I$ THE METHODIST NOCTHINE, Onlside of the Book of Discipline nothing can be found defining the Methodist doctrine, ‘fhe General Conference has not provouneed any authoritative doctrine, Until tho last General Couference no Methodist preachereoult be tried for heresy exeept in enso uf hls violation of the Artictes of Relf- alon, That conference nlopted a law that the restricted rules of the Chureh eannot be chinged except ina certaln way, aud the first cnimot be changed In anyway.

One of the doctrines of the Church Is that of THE WRATH TO COME, ‘The Apostles’ Creed inthe Methodist Chureh tukos the plies of tha Nicene Creed of the English Church, No minister hag ever been found eullty of heresy In that Church, ex- cept tor violation of any of the thirty-nine articles, or the ueulada tha Niecne ML Upon entering the mintstry the preneher ob- Hautes himself to belleve the doctrine of perfect love, the Articles of leligton, and tn his vatt to the antulstry as coming from God.
