Dr. Briggs Continues His Arraign- ment of the Prosecution. POINTS OF OBJECTION To the Separation of a Single Charge Into ‘Two and Three Off-nses — The Incorpora- tion of Statements Into the Record Not Made by the Defendant. ———_—— The evening session of the general assembly opened yesterday at 7:45 o'clock in the’ pres- ence of an audience that thronged the church. In his opening prayer Moderator Craig asked | God's blessing upon the families of the com- missioners, “whom we seem to have forgotten, | widely separated up and down all over the an Before Dr. Briggs resumed his address Rev. Mr. Harsha of Nebraska explained that m ask- ing questions of the sveaker the cominissioners | simply desired information, not to interrupt him. The doctor stated that he thought the | time of the assembly would be saved if the | questions were sent ap in writing. and he would endeavor, inclosing today, to answer them. SEPARATION OF THE CHARGE. Resuming bis address then Dr. Briggs raised the point that the separation of a single charge into two and three offenses, which the prosecu- ‘DR. BRIGGS EXPLAINS. tion made in the second and third charges, was iz conflict with the law of the church. As to the fifth and sixth charges,Dr. Briggs said they were new matter and changed the nature of the original charges, thereby being antagonistic to the direction of the general assembly. He insisted upon a separate vote upon ench offense charged aguinst him. “The only hope the prosecuting committee had of securing a con- viction in the presbytery,” he said, “was by a tem of cumulative voting, and they ask you to indorse this iniquity.” “He then had Prof. Brown read from the record to show the ground of ais objection as stated to the presby- tery at the time of trial, and to show that he ‘was willing to accept any chango in the form of the charges that would make them conform to the requirements of the general assembly and accord with the law of the church, The pres- bytery, Dr. Briggs said, then decided to take the vote separately upon the offenses charged, based upon the conditional waiver made by the defendant. Areversal of the judgment, with- out taking into consideration the conditions of the waiver, he said, would be to indorse the dishonorable conduct of the —_prose- cution. The next point presented by Dr. Briggs was as to the specifications of error as to the evidence introduced, which the prosecution has cluded, ten under three grounds of appeal. ‘The prosecution ob- jected to the evidence because it was unsup- ported by oath. “But that,” said Dr. Biggs, “is an invalid objection. ' There was no evi- dence introdaced orally; no opportunity tohave the defendant sworn, ‘and,” continued Dr. Driggs, “‘there was no other’ evidence offered, and yet the prosecution ask you to reject the unsworn evidence of the defendant and accept PROF. BRIGGS—“I DEMAND MY RIGHT TO BE HEARD.” the unsworn evidence of the appellant. If un- sworn evidence ig to be rejected, then there is none in the record and the case must be thrown out of court.” The prosecution, said Dr. Briggs, did not challenge the evidenco of the defendant as untruthful; on the other hand, they had no hesitancy in adopting and using many of the same extracts. “Should the presbytery,” he asked, “accept the unsworn ex- tracts offered by the prosecution and reject the unsworn extracts offered by the defendants? Just think of it!” ERROR IN THE RECORD. The defendant next referred to the paragraph in the prosecuting committee's appeal alleging error in the incorporation of certain state- ments and evidence mto the record which it was alleged had not been made, nor offered by the defendant on the trial. Prof. Brown read the action of the presbytery of New York upon this matter. ‘The evidence thus incorporated into the record, Dr. Briggs said, contained the opinions of many scholars, which furnished ir- refragable proof of the correctness of the de- fendant’s teachings. He had introduced, he said, the opinions of 124 scholars now living and of twenty-three who, although dead, lived within the twenty-five years in which the de- fendant studied in Germany and taught in the seminary. “And the attempt of Dr. Lampe this afternoon,” continued Dr. Briggs, “to aa- sail them as’ rationalists was wholly’ unwar- ranted. Many of them are as thoroughly Christian and orthodox as himself.” While discussing the specification relating to the incorporation of statement and evidence not read, Dr. Briggs asserted that the prosecu- tion had been hoist by its own petard; that if it had not been for the kindness and considera tion of the presbytery and of the defendant DR. PRIGGS—“T APPEAL TO THE HOUSE. himself, the prosecution would have been in a plight, and proceeded to show this by Teading from the record. Such being the fact, Dr. Briggs strenuously i i that the assembly could not refuse to ndant’s matter incorporated in the record and accept that which the prose- ention inserted. With an apology for having en so much time in defending the action of presbytery, Dr. Briggs passed to a discus- sion of the logie of the case. A MISTAKE IN LOOT. Dr. Briggs said it was alleged that the New sbytery made a mistake in the logic. It had been held that the case was so simple that logic demanded a verdict of guilty. Logie good practice, but like all it had many counterfeits. pellant’s logic was at fault where it al- ways app 1 in false logic, in the premises, The premise that the defendant admitted the fact, for instance, was false. the Specifications’ to set forth the facts and the appellants—skilll rs—held that because he admizied the extinct cited he admitted the liacts. It was easy to show that the specifica | eed um The law required | TUESDAY, MAY 30, 1893-TEN PAGES, tions did not contain the facts necessary to sustain the charges. Dr. Briggs held that it | was simply necessary to prove that the doc- | trines attributed to him were contained in the ral. He could not be held responsible | for the inferences of the prosecution. He held | that the defendant had not admitted the charge | by admitting the extracta cited. The defendant had admitted that he thought that errors may have existed in the original | text of the Scriptures; that Moses is not’ the author of the Pentateuch; that Isaiah did not write more than half his book; that santifica- tion is not complete at death. ‘He had not ad- mitted the other things. He had, he said, ad- itted what ought to have been ‘given as the minor premises of four of the charges. Did the major premises justify the charge of heresy to the Westminster standards? ‘The chief argu- | mentof the defense bad been toshow that these | major premises were invalid. the presbytery pa pee the prosecution had not objected. The logic of the prosecution was leap logic. WHAT HE HAD TAUGHT. The defendant had held toas essential and had always taught four of the seven doctrines charged by the prosecution to have been at- tacked. Ho admitted thetruth of and accepted two of them, but did not regard them as exsen- tial. As to the other doctrine, toaching sancti fication, he denied that the phrase “at once, which the prosecution had arbitrarily inserted A NIGHT SESSION. in the Westminster definition, when it was their own interpretation of it, was exsential. ‘The prosecution had given ‘no proof that his own interpretation was wrong and that their own was right. They seemed to hold the opinion that Holv Scripture was’ the supreme judge. The confession taught that it way the foly Spirit. That Spirit spoke -to the reason through the Holy Scripture. He had never taught any other doctrine. He had not said that the Spirit spoke the final word through the reason, to which the Bible must yield. He was no rationalist. The Holy Spirit united the Scriptures and reason in an infallible bond. The aim of the inaugural address wa to set forth the divine authority of Holy Scripture. It aimed to set forth such authority for it as every reasonable man might accept, He read from the confession to uphold his statement that the light of nature might have divine authority. He claimed that the reason was a great fountain of divine au- thority, but not of faith and practice. Me would show from the confession that the church was also « fountain of divine authority. It was incredible: it would not be believed by the Puritans that any presbytery could so tar abandon the faith of the Puritan fathers and permit the prosecution of a minister on a charge of heresy for maintaining that there was divine authority in the church. He did not say that men wore determined by their environ- ment, but that they were influenced by their en- vironment. ‘No man,” said Dr. Briggs, “ever came to God without the cell of God's Holy Spirit. No one ever found God in the reason until God himself entered the person to make PROF. FRANCIS BROWN READS, himself known there. No one found God in the Bible until the Holy Spirit pointed the way; no one found God in the church until Christ opened kis eyes.” Continuing, Dr. Briggs said that in any case it is the divine spirit that determines when and where and how the effectual call stall be made. He had not said in his inaugaral nor in any of | his writings that he co-ordinated the Bible, the church and the reason, nor could it rightly be inferred that he did so. SOME WERE ASLEEP. About this point in the argument some member of the assembly moved an adjourn- ment as some of his neighboring members were asleep. This simple statement created a laugh at the expense of Dr. Briggs, in which he good naturedlv joined. However, he proceeded with his argument, touching upon the teaching of the confession and holding that he must be judged by his faith and his practice, and not by individual interpretation. ‘Then turning to the uestion of scriptural inerrancy, he said the riptures had not been handed down by angel hands. God gave his Holy Word to man in an entirely different way. He used the human reason and the facilities of imperfect man. He allowed the sacred writings to be edited and re-edited, tare ranged and rearranged by —_ imperfect scribes. It was improbable that such imper- fect means should produce perfect rosulta, But the inaccuracies did not touch the vitality or inspiration of the spirit. The witness, ina court of justice, was not rejected because he slipped into errors of detail resulting from care- lessness or inattention. His evidence was stronger because of these very faults, and the witness who mado no mistakes was open to picion. Historical documents were never cast aside as worthless because they contained in- cidental errors. No historical document could be found that was infallible. ‘The pope did not claim to be infallible in all things—in ordinary conversation about politics andart and music— but only when sitting in the chair of St. Poter speaking of morality and religion, He held that thero wero errors of Holy Scripture. in matters that did not in anyway impair its infal- uibility in matters of faith and practice. At this point, the hour of 10 o'clock being reached, the awsembly adjourned until 9:30 this morning, Dr. Briggs having spoken altogether three hours yesterday Not With Mr. Morri: Yesterday when he was shown the statement telegraphed from Cincinnati that he bad been in correspondence with E. D, Morris of Lane Seminary concerning the formation of a new church Dr. Briggs said, “There is nothing in it,” and declined to discuss the subject further. Rey. J. H. Walker, one of the four men re- ferred to, has reached Washington and cor- roborated’ what Dr. Briggs said. Mr. Morris, he said, was opposed to the views of Prof. | Briggs, but did not favor the trial for heresy Rev. Mr. Walker scouted the idea of an attempt being considered to organize a new churen. DR. BRIGG’S DEFENSE. His Opening Remarks at the Afternoon Session Yesterday. {From ye terday's Assembly edition.) _ The Commissioners were promptly on hand for the afternoon session and although the rain was falling steadily the galleries wero crowded with spectators. Prayer was offered by Judge Wills and then Dr. Lampe resumed his argu- ment. Dr. Briggs interrupted to ask whether it was lawful to argue on the rejected charges before they were declared sufficient in form and mat- ter. ‘The moderator ruted that it was the purpose of the court-to pass upon this question, and he ruled that argument was in order. Dr. Briggs took his seat, and subsequently Judge Cutcheon arose and made the point that until this court had ruled whether the lower court was in error in leaving them ont, that ar- gument on their merits was not in order. Col. MeCook replied that under the rules adopted governing the discussion unless the ar- gument on this alleged error of the presbytery was made at this time it could not be argued at all, A Farther Protest. Dr. Briggs also spoke furthor protesting against the discussion of the merits of these re- jected charges at this time. Judge Cutcheon said in answer toa question from the moderator that he did not appeal A Warning to Mothers. mer mothers should heed by a health officer in for the used by ful fe plan is to be on the safe sid its upon lactated food all sumun in from the decision of the chair, but he only wished it to be understood clearly as to the scope of the ruling. In the event that this court did not sustain the lower court in re- spect to these two charges, then it would be necessary, as he understood, to remand the errors back to the presbytery. Mr. McDougal was of the opinion that it would not be neces- sary to send these alleged errors back to the lower court unless Dr. Briggs denied the trath of the facts therein stated, The moderator asked that Dr. Lampe con- tinue, but to avoid discussing the merits of the question any further than it was necessary to establish the specifications, A Reading of the Record. Dr. Briggs called for the reading of the stenographic report of the trial before the New York presbytery when he protested against the Gisclaimers that they did not represent his views. When Col. McCook had fimished Dr. Briggs said ho had read only the last pat nd he would ask Prof. Brown to read the first part of his statement. Col. McCook said that he had omitted the first part to save time. Dr. Briggs replied that it was not a question of time now. When Prof. Browr had com- pleted the reading Prof. Duttield said that at this time he was clearly of the opinion that the | merits of the case ought not to be discussed. | In the event that this court decided that the presbytery erred then the charges should be reminded back to that body, when the merits could ba gone into. Dr. Baker, the chairman of the judicial com- mittee, and Dr. Herrick Johnson stated that they agreed with Prof. Dufiicld, President Warfield of Lafayette College took the opposite ground, The moderator then ruled that as they were hero under specifications of errors, that the appellants had the right to argue the specifica~ tions in order to convince this court that the presbytery was in error. An Appeal by Dr. Duffield. Prof. Duffield appealed from the decision on the ground that the only question was as to whether the presbytery erred and this court had nothing to dowith the question of the orthodoxy of Dr. Briggs on these points. The appeal was not sustained and Rev. Dr. Lampe proceeded with his argument. The charges in question accused Dr. Briggsof teach- ing that many of the Old Testament predic- tions have been reversed by history and that the great body of Messianic prediction has not been fulfilled. Second, that Dr. Briggs teaches that the processes of redemption extend to he world to come in the case of many who die in sin, At 4 o'clock Dr. Lampe concluded his argu- ment. It was stated that the appellant had used three hours and twenty minutes, Dr. Baker asked that permission be given to Prof. Brown to read frgm the official records whenever, in the course of the argument to be delivered by Dr. Briggs, he should desire 1t. Dr. Briggs’ Defense. ‘This permission was accorded and a few min- utes after 4 o'clock Dr. Briggs took the floor and began his defense. , He prefaced his formal argument by a state- ment in regard to his consent that the rezord in the case be omitted in order to save time. As & portion of this record had been printed and distributed to the members of the assembly he supposed they had made themselves familiar with it, - He said that he had condensed and rear- ranged his argument with the view of saving time, and that many portions of it must be ex- tempore. He valle} attention to the injustice of his being called upon to answer errors that ‘belonged to the presbytery, and if some one could point out what portions of the charges and specifications were illegal he would besaved * creat deal of time and be freed from labor w ich did not belong to him. ef die then opened his argument, calling atten- tion to his protest against a public prosecut smaking an appeal against a verdict of acquittal, and also to his objections to the prosecuting committee being regarded asan original party. He then said that he had considered the charges and specifications with the view of ascertaining what was the arrangement of the matter whether historical, curonological or sensational. He said that none of these princi- ples had been followed but that the charges were presented in a confused manner. THE REJECTED CHARGES, Dr. Briggs then took up the two charg Nos. 4 and 7, which the presbytery of New York directed to be omitted. As to the one re- lating to Messianic predictions that they are not fulfilled, he said thathe had distinctly repudiated this charge, and yet the prosecuting committee had repeated it." He then quoted the entire reference from Kuenen and said that the omis- sion of the word “made a great difference, ‘The statement then read that if we insist upon the fulfillment of the details of the predictive prophesy of the Old Testament “many of those prodictions have been reversed by history. He repudiated the charge that he taught the doctrine of purgatory. He complained that the prosecution had inserted a new doctrine into charge seventh, Dr. Briggs read extracts trom one of his books in regard to the Messianic prophecy of the Old Testament and said that he hoped the court would see that he was opposing Kuenen, and he would leave with them to judge whether the charges brought against him were correct, HOLDS THOSE OPINIONS NOW, One of the members of the court said that the book he quoted from was printed in 1836. Did Dr. Briggs hold these views at present? “Why certainly I do,” replied Dr. Briggs, “that book is used asa text book in Union ‘Theological Seminary and we go over it every year in the classes. “I hold those opiaions then and no: He then continued to criticiso the prosecu- tion for continuing to bring forward charges which the presbytery had rejected. He spoke of the complaint made by the prosecuting com- mittee, that evidence was not allowed by the presbytery. But this evidence was in support | of the two charges thrown ont, and why should | it be considered by the presbytery? He denied the charge of prejudice on the part of the presbytery. On the contrary the prosecution was allowed to have their own way. Dr. Briggs was notified that the hour for ad- Journment had nearly arrivedand so he stopped at this point. Before taking his seat Elder McDougal asked him one or two questions as to his views of Messianic prophesy which Dr. Briggs replied to, and ti» ‘assembly, after prayer, ad- journed until 7:45. es aD Friends’ Schoo!

Jim Hall Knocks Out Frank Slavin — A Washington Cyclist’s Good Time to Chi- cago — Roberts Leads in the London Bil- liard Match, —__.+—___ WASHINGTON DROPS A NOTCH. Although the Senators Didn't Play They Fell to Tenth Place. Wet grounds prevented a game between the Washingtons and St. Louis Browns yesterday afternoon, and the Phiilies by winning were en- abled to tiethe Browns for fourth place. Cleve- land lost and Pittsburg won, thus increasing the lend of the Pirates, It was a crushing defeat for the Orioles, who went west fully expecting to wipe the Pirates from the face of the earth (vide Hanlon’s remarks Sunday mght). The Orioles are'a heavy batting team, and when they run up against a pitcher who has an off day they make things uncomfortable for him, but they are by no means one of the crack clubs of the league. In fact, there is no club the Waxhing- tons would tackle with more confidence. They have orly McMahon and McNabb as pitchers, and if either is hurt down will go the Orioles. The Clevelands as well ns ail the other west- ernclubs fcund out the difference between playing at home and abroad yesterday. They were all beaten, though Cincinnati and Louis- ville made the argument a very interesting one. Although Washington did not play yesterday it was crowded into ienth place by New York's deteat of Cincinnati, who dropped from eighth to ninth place. being replaced by the Giants. Only a fraction of a per cent separates the Red Legs from ux, but the fraction is enough = win the championship if it is im the right place. Some discrepancy exists between the various tables of club standings in the different papers as to Chicago's percentage. As it has been de- ided that the game declared forfeited to Loui We at Louisville some days ago was illegaily forfeited it should not be counted as a defeat for Chicago and victory for Louisville. Chicago is consequently 9 won, 14 lost. Manager O'Rourke does not think that Pitcher King would strengthen the club. As O'Rourke played on the New Yorks with King tor several seasons he knows what he is talking about. The judgment that “if King is not good enough for New York he is not good enough for Wastington” will tickle the ears of the ground- lings, bat 1s not sonnd. Base ball experience disproves it every day. Baldwin was not good enough for Pittsburg, but he was goodenough for New York. Clarkson was not good enough for Boston, but was for Cleveland. O'Rourke was not good cnough for New York, but he cer- tainly is good enough for Washington. YESTERDAY'S LEAGUE GAMES. RH.

James Hall met Frank Slavin at the National Sporting Club in London last night for $2,500 a side and a purse of 28.500, and knocked him out in the seventh round. The fight was a dis- ‘appointment to the spectators. Slavin was the favorite in the betting up to ths opening of the first round, but from the beginning he made a poor showing. He was completely outgen- eraled at every point by Hall and was unable to offer even enough resistance to make the con- test exciting. When time was called Slavin's face wore a peculiar, dazed expression. He lurched heavily | twice as he left his corner, and was generally unsteady in his gait, After sparring for a few seconds he walked directly up to Hall and was received with a staggering right-hander, which almost floored him. Throughout the round be never closed his glove, and when time was called went to his corner amid the hissing and groaning of the spectators, In the second round he showed no improve- ment. He lurched about stupidly, giving Hall several chances to hit him as he pleased. Hall did not take advantage of his opportu- nities and the round closed without any heavy work on either side. The third round “apes with some light sparring. In the middle of tho round Hall landed both right azd jeft on his opponent's head, then gave hima stinger on the jaw and stood away. The men then fooled about the ting, mifsing repeatedly when they came to close quarters. At the end of the round the referee warned them that if they did not fight there would be no purse for them. The warn- ing bad little effect, ‘The fourth round was a scrapping one. Not asingle telling blow was struck, and the fool- ing of the previous round was repeated until the spectators hissed and jeered. The fifth round was somewhat better. It ended with Slavin's going down from a right- uder on the jaw. Nothing was accomplished Wy either of the men in the sixth round. The seventh round had hardiy opened before Hall floored Slavin with his left. Slavin was soon up, but hearing somebody call time he turned toward hiscorner. Hallinstantly shotout | his right. The blow landed squarely on Slavin's jaw and sent him down for good. specta~ tors hooted Slavin as he was Carried to his cor- ner. Disappointment and dissatisfaction with the fight are generally expressed in London. “ Petrola’s Vast Time to Chicago. Just ten days after his departure from Warh- ington Francis Petrola reached Chicago, riding through by daylight the entire distance on his wheel. He was in first-class condition, and although fast time was expected the actual per- formance far surpassed the most sanguine ex- pectations of his friends.
