Answer to Fair Play.
I am certainly sorry that I over took
any notice of the libelous assault of
Rev. Fisher, Lutheran pastor at Centre
Hall, upon me and my address. When
I read his last article, I could hardly be
lieve my own eyes ; so utterly inconsis
tent is he ; so little regard he shows for
truth ; and so ready and reckless he is
to deny, assert and falsify anything and
everything to suit his purpose. To
make this clear as the noon day sun, let
the reader follow me patiently through
n review of hia last article.
In the opening section he says,
among other things, "if my friend in
ists on denying this I will insist on his
printing his address." Now, Rev. Fisher
was present and saw with his own eyes
that the address was entirely extern
)ore, and hence cannot be published as
delivered, not even if it had been writ
ten out beforehand, which it was not.
Yet notwithstanding tins fact, he i* not
ashamed to insinuate to the public that
the address was written, that I am with
holding it for a purpose, and that, if he
wished, he could expose my unfairness
at once by just insisting on it* publica
tion: but that, for charity's ..ike, he will
give me the opportunity of sneaking
ing out of it by simple silence. I ask. 1
is that the conduct of an honest, honor
able and fair-minded man ?
Again, uinler ths head of pr--deti
nation, he charges mo with "garbled
quotations.*' First, with "garbled quo
tation* from Luther." From him. as it
happens, 1 made no quotation* at
all. Then again, he charges me with a
"garbled" quotation from Kirstlin. For
the sake of saving space I left out two
small words which are of no account
whatever to the thought of the sen
tence. If Rev. Fisher thought so, why
did he not quote the sentence in full
and show the public how falsely 1 quote.
The sentence is very brief and would
have taken little space. Why, then,
lid he not do so.' 1 do not wish to
wrong the man, hut I can not fxmsibly
see any other reason but (his one, vig,
that. then, lie eoul 1 not hare thrown
out to the public the wicked and false j
insinuation that 1 quoted in fucb a < r i>
•as tecbange Ibc SUiuor's mean ing. I.M
\iS put the two ?ld# hy vide. Here is
the "garbled" quotation : "That sin
ners do not turn to Cod and acquire
saving fuilb in in* word,csn only be at
tributed to a secret will of God. snl for
this man may not call God to account.''
And here is the ungsrbled quotation,
with the preceding sentence included,
so as to snow the connection: "It is
only through His a-mighty gracious will
that salvation is secured to the latter
(the redeemed). That other sinners do
not turn to God snd acquire saving faith
in his word can only be attributed to s
secret will of the same (rod, nnd for this
man may not call God to account." I
ask any fair minded man to compare )
the two snd see whether there is even
a shade of difference in the predestine
rian thought they express. According
to both quotations the sinners that are
lost are lost, not by rear-on of any great
er wickedness on their part, but by rea
son of the will of God. Did Rev. Fish
er not see Ibis ? Most certainly he did,
for he cannot be so in- omprehenatbly
stupid. And yet he casts out to the
public the insinuation that l "garbled"
or left out those words lor the purpose
of making a fahe impression. That, 1
must ssy, looks to me like wilful sod
malicious slander' If not, let htm ex
plain.
Again. lu bis first article, in the Cen
tre Reporter, be himself quoted Dr. 0.
P. Fisher, Professor in Yale Theological
Seminary, and author of a number of
historical works, at authority on Luther
against me. How, when 1 quote Dr.
Oto. P. Fisher a* authority on Luther
agaiost him, he turns up bis nose and
•ays, "Who is he? Is he good Lutheran
authority I How stands my charge of
declamation on this matter T Let the
public judge." Could anything be more
glaringly inconsistent ? I confess this
Lutheran pastor is to me a more inex
plicable mystery than the mysteries of
predestination itself.
Still further.. Take another example
-of Ihe way in which he perverts snd
falsifies the gravest facts of history, jn
his first article he made the allegation
that Zwingli signed the Augsburg Con
fession. When challenged by "8. M.
R " for hi* proof be comes out with the
statement that Zwiogii signed thn Aug*
burg Itoofeeaioo because, or in virtue of
the f*et that, he signed the Articles of
Marburg from whiah it (the Augsburg
Confessloo j is "s departure only on the
Lord's Hupper." But Rev. Fisher
sows, of course, that the Lord's Sup
per was the one an I only great point of
difference between the two great Re
ormers; that around thl* raged ftU their
♦■A ' *
great controversies; that thU difference
mada Luther reluse the ouUtretehed
hand of /.einili, and bu kept the two
branohee of the Reformation apart to
Mais day. Yet nolwithatanding this
taot, he alleges that Zwingli aigned the
Augsburg Confession by signing the
Articles of Marburg. So reckless he it
in bis statementa. So unrighteously he
perverts and falsifies the gravest facts
of history. I confess again, the man is
to me an incomprehensible mystery.
And I must add, if he thus perverts and
falsifies these world reDOwued facta of
history, what won't he do with iny ad
dress.
On his own quotations, I csn
waste but little space. They are alto
gether off the question. In fact, a per
son would think that he hud selected
them for an entirely different purpose.
The first is altogether too obscure, and
so far aa I can see any light in it at all,
does not contradiot unconditional pre
destination, nor is intended to do so by
its author. The second tells us bow
Luther was led to his predestinarisn
views, but not at all what those views
were which is the question at issue. And
the third is without authority, being
without a name, snd in as far as it refers
to predestination stall is rather in favor
of than against ths unconditional
theory. I am rather alraid if Rev.
Fisher has nothing plainer, more to the
point, snd jpore conclusive, the people
of Centre county will have to believe
that Luther taught absolute predestine
lion. I,et me put aside of his pointless
and inapplicable quotations one more
quotation. It it not taken from Drs.
Hodge, Nevin, Scbaff, Cunningham oi
any other non-Lutheran author, but it
it from the highest Lutheran authority
on Luther in the world, vis; from Dr.
Koestlin who has made the study ol
Luther a speciality all his life. In an
article on Luther in Hermg'a Theolog
ical Cyclopedia, vol. 8, p. 587, he says ;
"He, (Luther) teaches, that with God,
who absolutely determines all things,
omnipotence and omniscience are a.to
gether one, and so also fore knowledge
and foreordination ; so that whoaoeve
is lost, is lost by the same alisolute will
of God ; that it shows nothing against
this when scripture says, God hath no
pleasure in the death of the
wicked : for we must distinguish be
tween God as revealed, God's word, and
God as unrcvealcd . God himself, hia in
scrutable will, and that we may not ask
reproachfully why does not God change
the will of the wicked, when he yet
controls their will, for that which lie
wills is right even because ho will* it,
and why he wills such things with refer
erence to the wicked, belongs to the
mysteries of His Majesty. This, he
says, is the highest degree of laith, to
believe llun to be merciful who saves
so few—-just who makes us damn
able bv ha own will." If this is not ab
solute predestination, will Rev. Fisher
please tell us what is ? I challenge hint
to bring me any stronger utterances
from the writings of Calvin. Thi*
ought to be enough on this question,
of course, Rev. Fisher may deny this.
For there is really no telling what ho
will not deny. For his stylej.--roto be
to deny everything iviid prove nothing.
But 1 hereby give notice that if my
quotations and reference* are again
challenged, I will ask for a committee,
selected partly by him and partly by me,
te examine into th'-ir correctness
and truth.
In the matter of the NrnulcaWl Arti
rlc* he think* I have made a discovery*
It i* very likely that I have done no for
him. Hut he ought to know letter. That
the doctrine of predestination under
lie* and i implied in Smslesld Article
is asserted hy Ir. S hat!'of X. Y., hv the
celebrated !>r. D.rner, of liermany.and
hy one third of the Lutheran church ot
America. Doe# Rev. Ftahrr n< t know
that I'r. Wulther, the most learned
Lutheran •in America, i- not only a
strict predestinarian htm*clf, hut **y*
also that any oth>T nc* i nn Lote-r
an? I*w he not know that, ar< .rd

t<odyof Lutheran-in t hi* co in try", .<*
bitn*lf and all other non-prfrde-i.n
arlan Lutheran* are hcritica- Luther
an* falsely so railed? |tn* he kit e*
none of these thing* ' Then I am
afraid, in this respect, he will, in pi'. of
himself, have to *rit at Driving** feet t >
be Lutberanlr indoctrinated." Let
him read a nunrt>er of article* in
"Lebre.und Webre," r|~'<ially on*
published in 1 **7 V. Yet Ret. Fishsr
say* they not only do not teach pre
destination, but that "they teach the
opposite." He doe* not say that any
body else say s so. iff course, Rev.
Fisher himself is good authority for his i
article* are a sort of a "verily, verily. I '
say unto you," all the way through. j
Rev. Fiher pr*i*ta in charging me
with saymg that the "Lutheran church
ha* largely rotne over to the Xwinglisn
view of tho Lord's Hopper." Indeed, m
his last article he flatly denies that my
address had any *uch "explanatory
clauses" aa 1 give in ui> former article.
Thie ha* now be< omi a queali' >n of ver
acity between Hev Fisher and myself,
and must end in putting one or the
other of us in a rather unenviable light.
Now Rev. W. 11. Urob, of Boalsburg.
Rev. 7.. A. Yrariek, of AaTonsburg, and
Rev. H. M. Koeder, of Uenfrr- Hall, were
all present and heard my addr**. and
I have asked and receivedpermission of
them to o*e their name* aa authority for
saying that I said in my address exactly
what I represent in my former article,
•nd that Rev. Fisher's charge is untrue.
This ought to settle that question. And
now 1 have this to add, that Rev. Fish
' er's persistent attempt to fasten on n*
I something which I did not say, but very
distinctly disavowed, has been a source
of considerable annoyance to me, and
is unworthy of a gentleman, and much
more, of a minister of the gospel; and
further, that if this is the way in which
he "sets hi.* own people right." I am
sorry for bis worthy people. Then he
(p*m on to say that Kahnifc etc., "defend
Lather." und that Rev. Dr. Hchaff, in
the 2ftth chapter of Lange's Commen
tary on Matthew, "twists" those su
thors. Of all the many sina which his
article contains, this Is one of the worst.
To charge a man like Rev. l>r. Schslf,
who Is one of the moat highly honored
Biblical scholar* in America, with
"twisting" quotation* upon no other
ground and authority than that his quo
tation* do not suit the Lutheran preju
dices of Rev. Fisher is a literary crime
of the first water. But it is of a piece
with Kev. Fisher's whole conduct in
this controversy.
No attempt has been made to meet
my argument showing that Luther, an
also tne other Reformer*. did not
"clearly apprehend" the difference be
tween faith "in a man or person, and
faith in a doctrine," or between "sav
ing faith" and "doctrinal fnith," MO I
need say nothing more on that subject.
But in conclusion I must tell Hey.
Fisher that f own and claim the follow
ing :
1. That l.uthor lacked the cool, clear,
intellectual head of Zwingli, even as
Zwingli lacked the richly emotional,
poetic, mystic nature of Luther.
2. That Luther was wrong in refus
ing the hand of Zwingli.
■'!. That Lnther denied the inspired,
canonical authority of the epistle of St.
James.
4. That Zwingli was more liberal than
Luther.
5. That Zwingli believed in the sal
viitiou of the nobler heathen, and that
in this respect, Protestantisiu, "haa vi
brated nearer to Zwingli."
f>. That Hev. Fisher's charge, contain
ad in the Centre lie/iorler, that Zwingli
taught that Hereules, Socrates, etc.,
"died in Ms tame faith" with Abraham,
etc., can not be proved ; and involves
continuances which Zwingli would have
repudiated and abhorred.

Long Strike Ended.
PITTSBURG, January 30.— The long
strike of window-glass workers is ut an

the men will return to work as soon a*
the furnaces are heated. As stated last
night, the manufacturers' and worker*
oonference committees reached a satis
factory agreement yesterday afternoon,
but they were in session again to day
arranging the details of the agreement,
and did not adjourn finally until late
this evening. While both sides made
great concessions, the terms at which
work will le resumed are largely in
favor of the workingmeo, who will he
paid last year wages until April 1, when
a standing scale will go into effect and
wages therefrom will )>e governed by the

subject to changes every four weeks and
the agreement will last until July 1, und
if found to work satisfactory will pro
bably be adopted for the ensuing year.
A number of factories have already
started their fires, and it is expected
that by February 15 all factories in the
west will be in operation. By the re

WAJUiiMumM, January 30.—The sub
committee of the house committee on
accounts, which has in charge the in
vestigation of the circumstances attend
ing the removal of on# of the official
stenographers of the house by ex Speaker
Keifer met to night, and after reviewing
the testimony l>eforethem unanimously
agreed upon a report to be submitted to
the full committee to-morrow. After
the meeting, however, the chairman of
the sub committee was informed that
some further testimony would lie
presently! on behalf of Keifer and will
consequently withhold a report for the
present. The members of iLesub-com
mittee decline to say what is the char
acter of the rejiort agreed upon by them
in advance of the hearing of further
testimony that is to be offered. It is
understood, however that the sub-coin
mittee finds that the charge against
Keifer that he removed Stenographer
Tyson in order to give the letters place
to his nephew is true, and that it also
finds that Keifer's nephew performed
no service whatever in return for the
salary paid him since his appoint
ment.
Firing the Northern Heart
The better clans of Republican papers
do not view with complacency the
Southern outrage hunt proposed by
Senators Sherman anil Hoar, and which
is likely to lead to a bitter and pas
sionate debate in the Senate. The New
York Timet, of Sunday, has this to
say :
The people throughout the country
ore utterly sick of the sectional issue,
and nothing is so calculated to excite
their disgust and aversion a* the ex
hutualion of tbe "bloody shirt" and a
reiteration of the cry of Southern out
rages, * • • There is no repreasion
that the National Government can
exercise ti|>on It with a beneficial result.
There is nothing that a |ioliti'°al party
in the North can do about it with
benefit. Crime in Virginia and Missis
sippi can no more !>e dealt with by Con
gress than crime on I-ong Islund or in
New Jersey. • • • It is the worst
kind of fatuity for Republicans in Con
gress to spend their time in discussing
Southern outrages and attempting to
renew sectional antagonism. It will win
no Democrat" and it will repel thou
sands of independent and sensible
Republican".
The liest answer that can lie made to
Sherman and Hoar, and all the "out
rages" they may invent and exaggerate,
can la- found in the census tables and
the trade and business reports from the
South, showing unexampled progress in
manufactures, agriculture and mining.
