FATAL RESULT OF BIGOTRY.—A worthy' el
der of the Irish R. P. Church (O. S.), living at
a distance from his congregation in Rathfriland,
Co. Down, was often wont to unite in public
worship with one or other of the neighboring
churches in connection with the General Assem
bly. On a communion Sabbath he asssisted the
session of one of these churches in the distribu
tion of the elements. When the next communion
season drew near, his own pastor in presence of the
session forbade his participating as an elder, and
it was more than hinted that weightier ecelesiai
tieal censures were impending. He Was told that,
if he insisted on it, a "token" could not be legally
refused him, [as he was uncondemned
,by, any
Church Court,] but that if he " came forward"
to commune, many others would stay away. The
poor man, who seems to have been of an unusu
ally sensitive disposition, went home, took to his
bed, and died within a week. The publiCation
of the facts has created' a great stir in Ulster,
and no less than five ministers of the R. P.
Church have rushed into print in The Banner pf
Ulster to cover up the facts and defend the ses
sion. The last letter in print is from his wife,
and confirme"the statements made by Rev. Sam.
Edgar, a son of the late Dr. Edgar, and pastor
I,f the neighboring Presbyterian church. She
says: "The anguish of 'mind I saw him endure,
and the sighs I heard him utter, till he 'took
the bed, from which he never rose, were enough
shatter the strongest constitution." She had told
Bev. Mr. Hart, his pastor, what the matter was,
and the only comfort given was '!.Tell him not to
think of it. Turn his mind from that. altogether."
Mr. Hart and his friends are now trying the ef
fects of the same receipt On the . Presbyterian
public, and with as little success.
THE OASE OF •REV.-L. - HAMILTON.
The Presbytery of San Jose, before proceeding to
trill on the charges, appointed Elder EL' •Dttrant to
conduct the defence in the absence of Mr. Hamilton.
The charges and specifications were then read, and
the evidence in proof produced as follows:
Common fame brings the following charges against
Rev. L. Hamilton, a member of this Presbytery :
CHARGE I
That he holds and advocates doCtrines concerning
the future state of those who die in impenitency
which are contrary to the Word of God and the
standards of the Presbyterian Churoh, and .these
doctrines are taught in a pamphlet, just published by
him, entitled, " The Fpture State or Free Discussion."
For the doctrines contravened see Mark, Chapter 8.,
verses 43 and 44, -1, And if thy Eand offend Wee but, '
it off ; it is better for thee to enter into life maimed
than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire
that shall never be quenched ; where the worm dieth
not, and the fire is not cienched."
Luke, chap. 16, verses 26, 80,.81.—" And besides'
all this, between us and you there is a great gulf
fixed; so that they who would pass from hence to
you cannot; neither. can they pass to us that would
come from thence. * • And he said, Nay, father
Abraham ; but if one went unto them from the dead,
they will repent. And he said unto hith, If they hear
not Moses and the prophets; neither will they be per
suaded, though one rose /rout the dead." See also
"Confession of Faith," chap. 82, section 1; also,
chap. 33, sec. 2.
SPEQIFIOA'fION FIRST.—He holds that there will be
a day of grace, or probation, after this life, in which
there will be an opportunity to accept offers of mercy
through Christ and be saved.
,The specification under this charge it is proposed
to sustain by.reference to the pamphlet named above.
See page 17.—" The trial of every soul is'oonducted
under moral and spiritual laws that are rigidly im
partial, and the crisis'which decides the impossibility
that the soul should be saved through the atonement
of Christ, is not the death of the body, but the harden
ing of the sensibility to such a degree that the truth
and spirit of God make no further impression on the
heart. This degree of hardness 'ls manifestly not
reached in the present life by those who die impeni
tent.
Page 26.—" So when our Saviour says that the sins
of one class Shall never be forgiven in the world to
come, the natural inference from his language is that
'the sins of some may then be forgiven.
Page 65.—" I no longer feel compelled to choke
back and smother those words of comfort And of hope
which Jesus, the Resurrection and the Life, has put
into my heart, not clearing the guilty, making the
retribution of ungodliness doubly sure, but giving
hope to all and .for all, in this world or the world to
come, who will accept His mercy."
Page 29.—" 1 rejoice in the better .hope which many.
particular passages and the whole spirit of the Gospel,
permit me to indulge. NaY, in the light of clearly
established history, it seems tome that the Bible and'
this view must stand or fall together."
Page 62. — 4., 0r the t circumstances and methods
under which Divine wisdom will deal with the millions
who pass into the future world or next aeon unbeliev
ing, yet with the isiorai 'nature net hopelessly harden
ed, I have nothing to 'my! ;On =these points the Bible
is silent, and I would not..presume to be wise above
what is written ; but I cannot hesitale to express the
joyful assurance—the character of God and the whole
tenor of the. Gospel'are.the warrant.of its certainty—
that no erring immortal, whom. God's, forbearing
love can find means in that werl4 to reach and soften
and save, will ever'be eternally lost."' "
Page 5 0.—" It there is any bag% of hope,: therefore,
it must be in the unrevealed methodfl 41nci .rceourede of
that all-loving Father to whoin' ail chin,p 'arc petts:a!ki.
even things harder than that a earner 'ithoilld ige
through the eye of a needle. We can easily ceneeiiie
that Christ should be so presented to . . the sinner in
another life, his suffering love so.:llluitrated, the
simple facts of his great sacrifice s cleared cleared of the
artificial theories by which they have 'been Obicured in
all ages of the . Church, that his real t atonetnent :for
simple souls should seem a new truth never 'heard
before."
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1869.
SPECIFICATION SECOND.—He denies and abjures the
doctrine of future punishment, as held in our Confes
sion of Faith. This specification can be sustained by
reference to the pamphtet mentioned.
See page 33.—" We infer that there will be no ar
bitrary exertion of divine power to hold the soul to
life, or eternally revitalize its powers that it may be
kept in suffering. The plea for this idea has been
that justice or violated law demand it. But what
justice? what law ? Is there any sense of justice in
your breast or mine, any felt sanctity of God's broken
law, that demands this, or would be soothed or grati
fied by such an arbitrary prolongation of pain, or
made more true and loyal to God by having it eternally
before our eyes? Can you conceive that the heart of
any intelligent creature of God, unless it shou'd be
the heart of a demon, could other than revolted by
such a spectacle ? Dare to think, unfettered by arti•
fieial theory, or the fear that. you will be doomed for
ever if you follow that holiest light which the Gospel
kindles within you, and you will not hesitate in your
answer."
Page 14.—" I have learned to wonder that a man
like Mr. Barnes, whose belief compelled this state of
mind and rendered no other logicully Afteitimate, and
would necessarily, if true, make heaven still darker
than earth, unless death kills every human, sympathy
and turns the saved into white-blooded demons instead
of pure spirits of love, did not dare to reconsider his
creed, and see if 'he had not exaggerated the true con
ception of future woe." ,
Page 20.—Speaking of the " Orthodox dhurch" he
says: " The great body of the people have been
driven to stand altrof from her communion and her
ministrations. Many, probably the majority, of those
who did' attend upon her worship, do so under silent
protest against the revolting absurdities of her creed."
SPECIFIcIATION THIRD.—He indicates that the misery
of hell may come to an end; and says the duration of
future punishment is left by Scriiiture indefinite.
This specification' can be sustained by reference to
the pamphlet: See page - 13. "As to the duration'of
future punishment I have uttered no definite opinion.
I have purposely, and with 'studied design, been in
definite. I leave the subject where I believe the Scrip
tures have wisely left it, veiled in mystery."
Pdge 23.—" Having satisfied myself, by the fulleSt
examination I could give, that the intrinsic force of
the Word, used to express its duration does! not settle
the question, I was then led to inquire whether. the.
'contrast in which the punishment of the Wicked was
placed with'the joyous life of` the righteous, and the
.firet that the duration of each was expressed by the
same word would not compel the inference that , the:
former would be without end. Here, in,the absence ,
of any explicit revelation on the point, I could, only,
reason from the nature of the case, from what we
knoir of the laws 'and powers of the sous, ; , ; It is the
nature ofa healthy life tolive and grew. s equal
ly the nature of a diseased life to decline and - die.
Hence I inferred, and ventured to publicly express
the view, that the state of the finally unreclaimed in
the world to come would be one of decreasing
. power .
and vital sensibility in 'Ore whole spiritual being.
Respecting the duration of that state I purpoSely re
frained from expressing any opinion."
SPECIFICATION FOURTH. —lle holds that whenever
the probation of the wicked ends, God simply gives,
them over and lets them alone : and when A) let alone
they will be miserable, but their misery will become
leas and less continually, if it does not cease entirely;
and " that the climax of positive'suffering for sin; and
the beginning of its abatement, is reached either in
this life or early in the next." This specification can:
be sustained by reference to the pamphlet. ,
Page 48.—A growing life will throw some lighton
a.dying life. We have seen the:lformer, in its scriptu
ral representation, as a lovingvinnowledge of God, un
folding in ever increasing light,tand rising.ever nearer
its source, through ascending spheres of the revelation,
of the divine
.glory. We shall think of the laaer,
then, as ignorance of God, or that fearing, shrinking
sense Of his being, whioh feels Him without knowing
Him—in reality the deepest ignorance of what He is
growing blindness which is ever closing.in.on the
, soul in thickets darkness. This, too, runs-on through
;Mons of aeons, a dying life, sinking down through
stages of decay, to a lower and still lower condition."
Page 53.—" Sin and suffering wither mind and
heart,. instead of increasing their capacities ; and by
a law as universal as our observation and experience,
a dying life, physical, mental, and Moral, is 'ever at
tended by a decreasing-sensibility. We should, there
fore, seem to be justified iii believing the climax of
positive suffering for siti, and .the beginning of its
abatement., is reached 'in' this - life or early in the
next."
CHARGE II
Openly casting discredit upon creeds. and upon the
Confession of Faith held by the Presbyterian Church,
as being opposed to all progress.
Srzoincancoi.---In the pamphlet on The Future
State," he says: Our standard' confession is fossil
ized, fixed, rigid, stilt and stony, and changeless in
its superannuated decrees." . This charge and specifi
cation can * be sustained by reference to the pamph-
See page 53:—The same passage, as given above
under Specification 2d; referring to orthodox creeds
as " artificial theories,": and urging his hearers to
dareto think• unfettered" by them.
Page 21.—1 n protesting against the Presbytery so
maintaining our "accepted standards of doctrine" as
to compel us to deny him the liberty of Preaching
theories in our connection, he says : " I protest: in
view of that fickleness of religious experience, and low
spiritual and moral tone of life apparent in the Church,
and among those who adhere most tenaciously and
strenuously to the old forms of doctrine, evincing a
need of a nourishment that can come only from some
modified'teaching of the gospel. I - protest in the name
of that freedom which is essential to the progress Of
the truth under which science is taking such rlong and
rapid strides forward—a. progress more imperatively de=
mended in the domain of theology and practical ,religious
doctrine and belief, but which such restriction of liberty,
in just so far as it is regarded, must inevitably check
and cut off. We may easily make our confession of
faith a Pope more despotic and oppressive in the way
of a growina - light than the head of the Roman hier 7
arehy, for he is afiving man and can modify former
decrees and change, an outgrown gerinent for "a new
one, better fitting the expanding proportions 'of the
wearer, suiting his erieyelieals, bulls, fulminations, or:
indulgences to the temper of the times, the, growing,
enlightenment, or the particular circumstances of those
for whom each is intended.--IVhereas, our standard
confeasLoia is fossilized, fixed, rigid, stiff and stony; ut
tered
ie hundred years 'ago, Wig just the same to
day &grit its first deliverance, and has no power to
adapt• itself to the growing light of the ages, or the
ever-varying demands of new conditions in the changing
state and wants of the people. The Presbytery nuist
be its modifying element, or it must. inevitably become
an apit acle to progress. I protest against making that.
confession a Pope—changeless as it must be in-its au•
peranuated decrees—enthroned for all time over the
frtith and oonscience of Presbytery and Laity."
:4 After the reading of this testimony in the case, be
Aire taking any action, it was voted that the third ci
tation 'be . issued and served' on Rev. L. Hamillan, to
appear before the Presbytery at five o'clock, 'P. Al., to
answer to these charges, and defend limself against,
this testimony. A little after five o'clock the clerk ref-,
turned, and announced. that the third citation had
been served, and that Mr. Himilton refused to corn:
ply and appear. The TolloWing resolution was then
. adopted :.
Resohred, That the chargesand specifinat ions as they
have been 'presented against Rev. L. Hamilton, are
hereby sustained; and for,this reason, and for contra
macy.in refusing to appear .before the Presbytery
in
his own defence, he is hereby depos'dd from the Chris
tian ministry. '
do motion; it was voted that the Moderator 'appear
before the Frit Presbyterian Church in Oakland - it - bit'
Sabbathi and declare the Pulpit vacant, and that,Rev.l
Dr. Nadsworth, of San Francisco,,be invited t.O preach,
in said church next Sabbath. On .motion the, follow-`
ing resolution was adopted:
Relayed, That we protest against the use of the
'name "Independent Presbyterian," bY an. Organize- .
lion now foiming in the city of Oakland, for these rea-•
sons : That as a trade-mark is the private property of
a firm or individual in commerce, so the name Presby
terian is the peculiar property of Churches connected
with a Presbytery, and holding to the doctrines taught
by the Confession of Faith of the said Church. The
organization in question proposes to discard both these
peculiar ties, and operate under the leadership of a
man who has been deposed from the Christian minis
try. The use of our name is calculated to draw mem
bers of the Presbyterian Church into a position where
they will be taught dangerous doctrines, and contrary
to the Word of God.
. _ .
A motion was made and carried to authorize the
Stated Clerk to furnish the OCCIDENT, Pacific and Alta
California with a copy of the proceedings of the Pres
bytery for publication. The Presbytery adjourned,
and was closed with prayer and the benediction.

Here in this chrysalis, a blind, dark thing—
A life entangled—beats and frets and strives ;
And there, beneath the mother-rohin's wing
Unhatched, her nestlings hear their cousins sing;
'Arid there again, enclosed in careful hives
Are budding myriads of working lives ;
And, yet once more, the ,branches of the Spring
Break into beauty, long ere June nrriqs.
'Thus, to my soul borne.in, a thought appears
Clad with the light of God's eternal day ;
A vision and a thing of 'other years
A life redeemed, which, out of mortal clay,
Steps to the glory of the sinless spheres,
Free after toil and,saved from old decay.
