Dr. Briggs Defends is Al leged Heretical Utterances. a MERITS OF THE CASE. He Charges the Prosecution With Heresy. MARTINEAU AND SPURGEON. Progress of the Great Trial Before the General Assembly. This was the second day devoted to the actual trial of Prof. Briggs before the general assembly on the charge of heresy. So far from diminishing, the interest in the case would seem to Le on the increase, Notwithstanding the mary counter attractions in connection with Decoration day there was yet a large crowd early on hand at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, and when the day's ses- sious were begun the galleries were crowded as usual. As for the commissioners, they wore all in their places, and followed the business of the day with the most flattering attention. ‘Tho morning was devoted to the dofense of Prof. Briggs. He began his address yesterday afternoon, after the close of Dr. Lampe's PROP. BRIGGS BEGINS, speech, and then followed it with two hours more at the evening session, For nearly three hours this morning he was on his feot, and with one or two brief intermissions read continuously from his manuscript. ASTONG PRESENTATION OF HIS CASE. Even the most unrelenting anti-Briggs men in the assembly admitted today that the alleged heretic had made a wonderfully strong pre- sentation of his case. For a considerable por- tion of his time this morning he followed the same lines of argument that he used before tho ‘New York presbytery, with such omissions and additions as were necessary to make it timely and pertinent. It was with satisfaction that Dr. Briggs’ friends noted how well his voice was standing the strain to which it was put. It showed the effect of fatigue rather less than they had feared. Dr. Briggs is not an orator, and he does not use his voire well and in such a way as to insure its withstanding a long-continued strain, Yet until the last half hour of the seasion this morning he spoke decidedly better than he did last week, when he was given five hours to speak on the entertainment of the ap- peal in his case. A CAREFULLY, PREPARED PAPER. His argument as he presented it this morn- ing was not one that gave any chance for ora- torical effort. It was a carefully prepared technical paper which entered deeply into the intricacies of the case. It was logical and se- quential, but it was an essay that ould well repay careful readingand study. For the aver- DR. LAMPE FOLLOWS, age mind it was a little too deep and subtle to follow from the hearing. Much of the address this morning was _taken bodily from the *‘defense,” and this Dr, Briggs had friend Dr. Brown of Union read for him. Dr. Brown is a man of fine presenco and mag- nificent voice. While he read the man whose orthodoxy is the great question now before the Presbytetian-Charch eat back in a chair upon the platform and took a little needed rest. ‘The morning was entirely devoid of anything like sensational features. The nearest ap- roach to this sort of thing was when. Dr. riggs quoted a sentence from Dr. Lathpe’s address of yesterday and characterized it asa rank heresy if there ever wasa heresy. The Morning Session. The fatigue of three lengthy sessions yester- day, combined with the fine weather in striking contrast to the gloomy condition of yosterday, had a perceptible effect on the attendance at the oponing session of the general assembly at the New York Avenue Church this morning. The stretch of galleries even at the early hour of 9 o'clock, however, when the devotional exer- cixes were begun, showed no vacant seata, There were empty places in the pews assigned for the use of the commissioners, but later in the session the attendance was larger. Rev. Dr. Ketcham conducted the, devotional exereises, and at the close the modetator offered a brief invocation and the minutes of the preceding day were read and approved. On motion of Rey. Dr. Thompson the re- ports on church unity and co-operation were made the third order after the disposition of the judicial case. ‘The letter in regard to the proposed Utah University site was referred to the committee on aid to colleges. committee on bills and overtures relative to the deliverance of the last assembly on the inspiration of the Scriptures be returned to the committee, as additional overtures had been received. The assembly consented, and Dr. Young made a report from the committee on this sub- ject which relterated the, deliverance of the it’ assembly. ‘The consideration of the re- port was the second order. Dr. Briggs Resumes. Dr. Briggs then took the floor and continued bis argument on the charges brought against PROF. BRIGGS LOOKS UP AUTHORITIES. him. He began with the discussion of the question whether the claim of the errancy of the Bible is opposed to the standards. In the course of his argument then he sai: The charge of the prosecution is, that errors in Holy Scripture conflict with the essential doctrine that “Holy Scripture is the Word of God written.” The prosecution may think that there is conflict here, but they sre mis- taken. The reason why they see conflict is be- cause they interpret “Word of God written” differently from what Ido. They put into this doctrine in their original specification, “true and full inspiration,” meaning so far as we can determine—(1) plenary inspiration; (2) verbal inspiration; (8) inerrancy. Let me remark at the outset that although Iadmit the phrase “true and full inspiration,” it is not a phrase of the confession or of Holy Scripture. The only phrase of the confession used_by them in this statement is “the Word of God written.” I hold to the “true inspiration of the Word of God written,” but I also nold that there are errors in Holy Scripture, and that there is no inconsistency between the statements. The inconsistency is in the mind of the prosecutors, because they already include in the term full inspiration, verbal inspiration and inerranc: whereas I use plenary, or full, in the gram- matical and historical sense_as referring to the contents of the words. When we say that a lamp is fuil of oil we do not mean that the lamp 18 oil, but thateit contains oil in the re- ceptacle which it incloses. DIVINE INSPIRATION. When I say the Scriptures are fall of divine inepiration I mean that the Scriptures as writ- ings are filled full with an inspired rule of faith and practice, which rule fills and pervad Scripture in all its parts. Ihave the authority of John Wallis, a clerk of the Westmin: sembly, for this view, when he say Scriptures in themselves are a lanthorn rather than a light; they shine, indeed, but it is alieno lumine; it is not their own, but a borrowed light. It is God, which is the truo light that shines to us in the Scriptures, and they have no other light in them, but as they represent to us somewhat of God, and as they exhibit. and hold forth God to us, who is the true light that ‘enlighteneth every man that comes into the world.’ It isa light, then, as it represents God unto us, who is the original light. It transmits some rays; some beams of the divine nature; ‘but they are refracted, or else we should not be able to behold them. They lose much of theirvoriginal luster by passing through this medium, and appear not so glorious to. us as they aro'in themselves. They represent God's simplicity obliquated and refracted by reason of many inadequate conceptions; God conde- scening to the weakness of our capacity to spenk to us in our own dinlect.” I apprehend that Wallis is a greater authority for interpret- ing the Westminster confession than any American theologian or than the last general assembly at Portland, WHAT THE CONFESSION TEACHES. The confession represents that God “‘com- mitted wholly unto writing” “that knowledge Mn. M'DOUGALL EXPLAINS, of God and of His will which is necessary unto salvation.” This statement I sincerely adopt. But note what was committed “wholly unto writing:” “the knowledge of God and of His will which is necessary Unto salvation" —noth- ing more; not the knowledge of geography, not the knowledge of chronology, not the knowledge of correct citations, not exactness in names of persons and things, unless you can rove that these are necessary to salvation. is statement of the confession amounts to nothing more than “‘rule of faith and practice;” it is hardly as much, because there are some matters of faith and practice which may not be necessary to salvation. This statement does not touch Sree knowledge not necessary to salvation. If there aro errors in such matters as are not necessary to salvation, what has that to do with this paseage? When it is said that God committed that wholly unto writing. does it teach that God himself committed to writ- ing, or does it imply the use of holy penmen? Manifestly the latter. THE SACKED PENMEN. If then God used holy penmen to coramit this knowledge to writing you cannot conclude that these penmen did not commit to writing, together with this knowledge of God necessary to salvation, other knowledge which was not necessary to salvation, and if so you cannot conclude that there were no errors in that mat- ter which these men wrote, unless you can aleo prove that God commissioned them to commit this also to writing. You cannot prove any such thing from this passage of the contession, which limits itself to “knowledge necessary to salvation.” Furthermore, “commit to writ- ing” docs not impiy any more than that this knowledge of God necessary to salvation is wholly in these writings. It does not imply that the words which contain this knowledge are inspired, or that they may not be connected with human and fallible material, THE WRITTEN WORD oF Gop.

HEROES’ MEMORY Honored This Beautiful Decar- ation Day. —_—.___ TRIBUTES OF FLOWER Paid by the Loyal Living to the Patriot Dead, POETRY AND ORATORY. A bright sun greeted the day. Clear skies smiled down on the ceremonies. Fluttering fiags and lovely flowers decked the graves of departed heroes. Comrades donned once more the old army j blue and marched shoulder to shoulder, not this time against a foe, but to honor the mem- ory of soldiers who would march no more. Patriotic men and loyal women listened to the clarion voices of eloquent orators, to the deep-toned resonance of pious prayers, to clear- tuned singers and throbbing bands, and bowed their heads in honor of men, who, putting aride plow and tools, books and iustruments, bad shouldered muskets and marched through dan- ger and sickness,through clash of saber and rain of shot, often to mutilation, often to death; and all this not for persoral gain, not for personal aggrandizement, but that a united flag, a united country might be handed down as intact as they had been received. In short, it was Decoration day. THE ARMY OF THE DEAD.

The difference between the size of Sunday's crowd and the number of tickets received by the admissions bureau is to be investigated by world’s fair officials. Two or three of the lead~ ing spirits place Sunday's crowd at 200,000, others at 150,000, while the United Press sent out the conservative estimate of 125,000. All, of these figures, according to the burean of admissions, are wrong, as they have returns from but 94.857 people.

They came from ali sources, The public school children vied with each other in this most worthy cause and their contribution was probably the larg- est. The Sunday school and churches of all denominations supplied a quantity that was littie less than the offerings of the public schools. Private schools and individuals also contributed largely to the demand for flowers for the decoration of the graves of the soldier dead. The offerings in- cluded roses, lilies and other choice flowers,and many were alrexdy formed into designs appro- priate to their use. Col. J. M. Wilson, U. S.A., who has charge of the White House conservato- ries and the propagating gardens, said he would give the G. A. R. decorating committee all the flowers in his gardens, and he kept his promise with a most liberal supply of roses, lillies, &c. Mr. Smith of the Botanical Garden was equally liberal to the extent of his ability, and the total contribution was so extensive that the matter of ‘ording sufficient means of transportation was by no means a stall undertaking. Willing hands were numerous, however, and it is safe to say that the flowers were ali utilized in pay- ing tribute to those who lost their lives to pre- serve the Union. Flowers by the wagon load were piled on tables in the Grand Army Hall this morning and Comrade Gillman was kept busy distribu- ting them to the various G. AR. posts and committees, who were to use them on the graves of the patriotic dead in Arlington. In front of the hall stood large vehicles of various descriptions, and on most of them were aj priate inscriptions giving mame of post and corps. A -NODLE BAND, From early in the morning one body of work- ors bas neither rested nor paused in the labor of decoration. This has been the Department of Potomac Woman's Relief Corps, which is composed of about 809 6f the loyal women of Washington. ‘The work which these ladies have | accomplished yesterday and today bas been immense.
