The closing session was held last night, and its peaceable character Was in marked contrast to the stormy scenes of the day. The session was given over to a con- siderable extent to miscellaneous exereises €ident to the separation of a body of this character. Moderator Craig opened with a Prayer of thanks for the Providence that had been over and around abont the members dur- ing their conference, and of hope and anticipa- tion for the future. In a few appropriate words Dr. Craig intro- duced the Rev. J. G. Paton, the commissioner from the Australian presbytery and the pioneer THE DECISION SUSPENDING PROF.

As the assom- bly rose to their feet the moderator presented | him, who, he said, he had no hesitancy in des- | ignuting as the “apostolic missionary of the church in this age.” Mr. Paton spoke a few minutes of the work ddne in Hebrides.

Bartlett, chairman of the committee of a | Tungements and pastor of New York Avenue Church responded most happily. DR. BARTLETI’S REMARKS. “I am very sorry,” said Dr. Bartlett, “to part with such creditable and kindly guests. I feel that you have honored the great capital in which your deliberations have been held. The Sabbath morning betore rou arrived I preached from the text, ‘Ee not forgetful to entertain strangers, for some thereby have entertained aagels unawares.” It has been a common re-| mark among my people since you have been | here: ‘Doetér,I think you found my angel.’ Thave heard but the kindest remarks from all | our people where you have been entertained and from the various hotels and boarding houses. Your behavior has been so dignified in the supreme court that you have held as to| i ‘of the great court | permanently in the Capitol upon the | Bili. I have heard from all sides only your raises. You kave scored a point above all re- igious bodies and all others in calm demeanor under trying and exciting circumstances and im registering the fact that, while you are earn- est and independent men, you are Christians, os | said Presbyterian Church in the Unfted States y state that called upon me and asked me if I had anything to say to them respecting the dispo- sition of the case, I thereupon said that I ad- CRIES OF MR.

DOCTRINAL STATEMENTS. Dr. Host stated that in addition to this judg- ment there were also formulated by the com- mittee doctrinal statements bearing upon the questions at issue. He asked Dr. Harsha to read this report. Dr. Harsha said that the committee had not deemed it necessary to go into much detail. The committee reported that they found that | the doctrine of erraney was in coutlict with the Scripture itself and also with the statements of the standards of the church. As to the sufficiency of the reason and the church as guides to salvation, the committee recommended that the assembly declare its be- lief that the reason and the church are not | fountains of divine authority, and that such | teaching was contrary to the Scripture and to the standards. ‘They found the teachings re- gardirg progressive’ sanctification were con- trary to the standards of the church. On the motion to adopt the report Dr. Ray- mond asked if that included the paper read by Dr. Harsha. ‘The moderator said it did not, Dr. Storrs said he had never believed in con- demning a man without an accurate and defi- nite statement of his offense. He thought the judgment lacked in this particular. There was no statement of the kind of the heresy for which judgment was passed upon him. ‘The moderator said the specifications of error were definitely set forth. THE REPORT ADOPTED. The report of the committeo on judgment “My friends, carry with you the good wishes of the people of this capital city and know that you have brought na a blessing, and God| enable you tocarry a blessing home with sou, to which you may go with your faces shining with | the light of the Lord Jesus, mingled with some | of the patriotic splendor of this capital city, for deeper than the foundations of the Capitol and DR.

God go with you to your THE CLOSING scEXEs, In eloquent phrase Dr. Craig made the closing speech, and at 9:50 p. m. the 105th gen- eral assembly of the Presbyterian Church of the United States in America was declared dis- solved. The protest against the action of the assem- iy in the cese of Prof. Brigzs received the sig- natures of sixty-three commissioners, and that against the action upon the inspiration of the Table about one hundred and ten.

At Dr. Baker's request Dr. Briggs had made the following statement in writing: | about the sume as that by which the assembly was adopted by a viva voce vote, apparently sustained the appeal. When the assembiy considered the explan- atory report made by Dr. Harsha Dr. Sprague | rose up and safd he wished to give notice on the part of himself and others of a protest against the judgment, as seeming to them an abridg- | met of proper liberty, a discouragement of reverent scholarship and a judgment too severe ‘on the honored scholar who was concerned. Dr. Harsha said he moved that Dr. Sprague be allowed to present his protest. He sug- gested also that as soon as the report was adopted, as this was a solemn matter, they en- gage in prayer for the appellee. Dr. Sprague gave notice that his protest would be in the basement of the church, where those who desired could sign it. Dr. Storrs then proceeded to diseuss the ex- planatory report in reference to doctrine. He was proceeding to question the statement re- specting erraney when the moderator remarked thst he was reopening the case. Dr. Storrs oald he was simply discussing the report: they did not want to adopt anything that was not exactly true. ‘The moderator said that Dr. Briggs’ views were not under discussion. The report pre- sented tho views of the assembly. Dr. Storrs declared that he did not want to have it appear that they indorsed a statement not exactly true. NEARING THE CLOSE. shonld discuss the terms in which it should put its judgmen: That's so,"* said the moderator. “All right,” said Dr. Storrs, “if you want to shut off all inquiry as to the tratb.” THE REJECTED CHANGES. Elder R. W. D. Bryan wanted to know what of charges 4.and 7, which according to the jadgment had been improperly rejected by the presbytery. “They are relegated to the history of the said the moderator. x Rice asked whether the prosecuting committee was now discharged the case having been rt their duties were harged. Elder MacDougall offered a resolution of thanks to the prosecuting committee in the name of the church. | assembly by the International A written substitute, offered by Dr. Roberts, was adopted, but there was quite a minority Voting agaiust it and considerable confusion. The assembly then adjourned as a court and reassembled as a legislative body. Dr. Herrick Johnson got the floor and read the protest which he had drawn up against the deliverance on the question of the inspiration of the Scriptures. THE PROTEST REFERRED TO A COMMITTEE. When the protest had been read the moder- ator asked if the protest should be admitted to the record. Mr. Eudaly argued that the protest was dis- reapectfal to the assembly, which had expressly declared that it was not uttering any new doc- trine. Dr. Johnson said that any word would be stricken out which was considered not re- spectful. The moderator said there was nothing disre- spectful for men to differ in opinion. Dr. Hays suggested that it be referred to a committee to answer it. Judge Wills said that under the discipline the protest should be admitted. Dr. Roberts called attention to the words, “thrusting upon the church,” and Dr. Johnson changed the expression to ‘imposing upon the ; church.” Anew member asked whether Dr. Johnson had a right to change expressions after the sig- natures were placed on the paper. Dr. Johnson said they were merely verbal changes. The moderator said it was a matter for which the signers were entirely responsible, and so the assembly hed nothing to do with it. A motion to admit the protest to_record was carried. Thon the motion of Dr. Hays to ap- point a committee to answer the protest was carried. The committee appointed consisted of Dr. E. D. Warfield, Dr. H. W. Congdon, Dr. James H. Brookes, Dr. J.T. Leftwich and Wm. A. Eudly. THE IDLE AS IT 18 Dr. Young then offered a resolution as sp- plemental of the deliverance adopted declaring that the Bible as we now have it in its various THE MODERATOR’S CLOSING REMARKS. translations is the very word of God, and con- sequently wholly without error, ‘THE REVISION oventunes.! Rey. Dr. Hoyt presented a report of com- mittee on the revision overtures, which was to the effect that all the overtures failed to receive the requisite two-thirds vote of the presby- teries, and therefore no action was needed by this body. The report was accepted. Rev. Dr. Harsha from the committee on church polity reported onanumber of overtures, one of which was in regard to deaconesses, and the committee recommended that as overtures on this subject-had so recently been submitted to the Presbyteries and received a negative re- sponse that it did not seem wise to remit it at this time. The committee, however, advised that whén competent women in full’ commu- nion inthe church are willing to do work of this character that they be given permission. SUPERFLUOUS CommITTEES. Dr. Young, speaking of the reports of the committee on chureh unity and co-operation, said he thought the time had come when they could dispense with one of the committees. He | weeks been visiting at Ne thought what the committee on co-operation | York city, has returned, Proposed could be carried out under the | guest Miss Stearns of ‘Troy direction of the board of home missions. He said they had an alliance committee, a | ing, June A supplemental report was mado on a sible deficit inthe Columbian fair exhibie, owing to the withdrawal of the exhibit in the event the fair is opened on Sunday. A resolu- tion was recommended that the stated clerk be authorized to make good such deficit up to the sum of $1,500. The report was adopted. Dr. Young from the committee on bills and overtures brought in a report commending tl work of the Frosbyterian’ Historical Society. The report was adopted. Dr. Roberts, the stated clerk, read rapidly the reports of a number of committees not yot heard from, and the business was rushed through rapidly, the reports being adopted without discussion. AN ANSWER TO THE PRoTEsr. Dr. Warfield, from the committee appointed to prepare ananswer to the protest of Dr. Johnson and others, reported that the deliver- ance adopted imposed no new test of ortho- doxy, but only reaffirmed the statements of the confession of faith, statements to which every minister and every'elder of the church gives his assent at his ordination. THE NEXT ASSEMBLY. The invitation of the First Presbyterian Church of Saratoga Springs, N. Y., to hold the next general assembly there was accepted. Rev. Geo. D. Baker of Philadelphia was inted on the committee te consider the abe it of closer supervision of theological semi- naries in place of Mr, John J. McCook, whose resignation was accepted, . The assembly then, at 5 o'clock, adjourned to 7:48 o'clock. >. STATUS. DR. The Decision of Former Assemblies in Re- gard to Suspended Ministers, Rev. Dr. Briggs left the city yesterday after- noon for his home in New York city. He was aware gf the judgment adopted yesterday by the general assembly in hie case, and while he refused to say anything for publication, yet it may be anid that the decision was not entirely unexpected, fe will continue his duties ut Union Seminary just as if no sentence had been imposed upon him. His statua as 2 suspended mxuister of the Cresbyterian Church is indi- cated to some extent by the followirg extracts from Moore's digest of the rules of government of the Presbyterian Church: ‘That ministers of the Presbyterian Church, when regularly suspended by the competent judicatories, have no right to exercise the func- tions of a minister during that suspension.” Minutes of general assembly 1825, pago 156. “A minister suspended from office may, at the expiration of one year, unless he gives satis- factory evidence of repentance, be deposed without further trial.” A The minutes of the general assembly of 1821, page 15, “Mr. Foreman being suspended from the ministry, ought by no. means to be considered ‘as occupying the ground of a ‘common Chris- tian in good standing.’” — KENSINGTON, Dr. George B.

The existence of these committees should not be prolonged indefinitely. Dr. Thompson of the committee on co-opera- tion said that be was n member of the board of home missions and he believed it would be un- | wise to impose upon it the work which should be done in the fields where the presbyteries are in control. He suid that as soon as it properly could be done he would propore that the two committees referred to by Dr. Young be merged. The motion of Dr. Thompson to continue the committees was carried. FROM NEW SOUTH WALES. Rev. Mr. Whittier of Now South Wales was introduced to the assembly by the committee on correspondence and made an address. Dr. Smith rose to a question of privilege to | protest against the remarks of Dr. Young re- | specting the work of his committee. The committee on correspondence, through its chairman, Dr. M. L. P. Hill, submitted re- portson a number of matters. It recon mended the adoption of resolutions expressing sympathy with the Protestants of France in their efforts to throw off the yoke of papacy, and recommending that the 208th anniversary of the revocation of the edict of Nantes be ‘THE END OF THE ASSEMBLY. properly celebrated in these churches October 22, 1893. It recommended also that the officers of the assembly sign the petition sent to the Arbitration League. The report was adopted. Rev. Dr. 8. M. Davis then presented the re- port of the committce on narrative. This re- port combined, as usual, the story of the year, giving statistics and comments on the events in the church. Dr. Roberts, the stated clerk, read the list of ministers who had died since the last assembly. Ahymn was sung and Dr. Harsha offered prayer. Rev. Dr. James Matthews, chairman of the standing committes on temperance, presented the report of the committee recomménding, among other things, that the assembly urgo upon their members the necessity of promot- ing temperance instruction, recommending tho work of the agencies of the church engaged in the temperance ficld, favoring ction looking to the suppression’ of the liquor traffic in the New Hobrides and other places. The report was adopted. THE PROTEST IN THE BRIGGS’ CASE. Rev. Dr. Sprague then came forward and road the protest; of which he had given notice against the judgment in the Briggs’ case. ‘The protest read as foil We, the undersigned ministers and elders in the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, declaring our honest belief in and love for ‘the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaraents, and our entire loyalty to the principles ot the Presbyterian Church, desire, Fespectfully, to record our solemn’ protest against the verdict and judgment of suspension and against the proceedings leading to the dict in the case against the Rev. Chas. A. Briggs in the general assembly of 1893. 1. As involving in our judgment, acts of doubtful constitutionality. 2. Asseeming to abridge the liberty of opin- ion, hitherto enjoyed under our standards by office bearers in the church. 3. As tending, we believe, to the discourage- ment of thorough study of the Bible and rever- ent advance in the apprehension of divine truth; and 4. As inflicting what we cannot but feel is an injustice on a Christian scholar of acknowledged hich character and learning, as well ay on the presbytery of New York, which had fully ac- quitted shim of the charges alleged against him.” A motion by Dr. Dixon that it was tho sense of the assembly that no answer to the protest is necessary was carried. ‘The protest was admitted to record. FINANCES. Elder William E. Herron presented the report of the committee on tinance, which stated that the funds in the hand of the stated clerk during the past year amounted to a total of $111,233, and the balance remaining on hand was 096. The report also referred to the publica- tions expenses and the funds held by the trus- tees. The treasurer, Nev. Dr. Roberts, was authorized to invest such a proportion of the funds of the assembly as he may deem wise. The report was adopted.
