In commenting upon the fact that the sresent assembly is being held n a Baplist church, he sald that “Inas- much as some of our Presby: churches are entertaining B: S only right that the Bapti: entertain us.” Dr. Har osdick, charged with heresies, is an ordained Baptist minister occupying the pulpit of the First Presbyterian Church, New York. .. We hope” Dr. MacArtney said, that we wili not give the Baptists as much trouble as some members of that denomination have given us."
