Kev. Fisher ha* w i-t*ly decided to
abandon the field. Hi* last article is
little more than an attempt to rui-- a
big cloud of dust in order to Cover
bis retreat. I would gladly leave liiiu
to the enjoyment of that peace and
quiet which he so much covets, but I
have yet a few tilings to say to him. In
the first place, if he does not feel units.
ually good over the result of this eon
trov'ersv, 1 would remind him that it
was not of my seeking : hut was loreed
upon me by an assault which was as in
decent a,s it was tip-called for. More
over I claim that the fault of the "un
dignified personalities" which have
characterized this controversy does not
he at my d>sir. Kev. Fisher's very first
attack was full of hail teiuper and ,low
abuse, a* everybody well remembers. 1
replied in an article of <*allii. dispassion
ate argument from beginning to end.
so much so that some of my friends
thought I showed no spirit at all. But
notwithstanding this fact, Kev. Fisher
came out in a second article which was.
to say the least, as full of had blood and
gross misrepresentation as the first, ami
thus forced me to return an answer
which was sharp, pointed, and most per
sonal. If Kev. F. has winced under it.
I would remind him that 1 have simply
beat him with h' own -tick. In hi* last
article, however, lie undertakes to play
it new and different role. He puts on an
air of dignity and good manners, and
then takes me to tusk for my "undigni
fied personalities," Ahelll !
Still furth'-r. 1 maintain that Kev. F's
attack was entirely uncalled-for. My
address at Cent.e Mall was emitu fitly
fair and truthful. My aim was not "to
•belittle Luther." hut to give Zwingli
that honor which is his due. < tur Lu
theran brethren almost invariably fol
low one of two linos of conduct. Kit her
they entirely ignore Zwingli and his
movement, and represent Luther us the
one and only great Reformer, insomuch
that when we begun to celebrate the
400 th anniversary of Zwingli's birthday,
Tnany of their members could not un
derstand w hat right or business the Ke
formed hud to urrogute to themselves
-aoy share in these Reformation anniver
saries; or on the other hand they put
Zwinjdiunism. Koinanisiu and Anabap
iisiu into one boat and represent them
as the great trinity of heresy and cor
ruption from wlwwo great ruin Luther
alone, hy his undaunted faith ami hero
ism, has saved the Church and the <Jos
pel. This latter conduct s excellently
illustrated in several of the long quota
tions in Kev. F's last article. Of these
false representations and impressions,
t certainly meant to disabuse the minds
of my audience. Without taking away
from Luther any thing which justly be
longe* to him. I meant to show that not
all truth was on his side, that ns Luther
excelled Zwingli in some particulars so
Zwingli excelled Luther in other*. And
this 1 did hy mentioning facts which
are true, which I knew most certainly
to he true, and which ! honestly
thought there wasn't a man in Centre
Hall or Centre county for that matter,
who was ignorant and conceited enough
aeriously to deny.
There is another thing which is verV
strange. The Lutherans constantly rep
resent Zwingli as a lieritic, a fanatic, etc.
It crops out every now and then in Rev.
F's articles. It is holdlv asserted and
emphasized in several of his long quota
tion*. And they seem to think that
this i* all right, and that we, Reformed,
must, as a matter of course, quietly sub
mit and acquiesce. Rut as soon as we he
win to point out some of the error* and
dcfic icnces in Luther, immediately they
raise a sort of general howl all along the
line that we arc "narrowniindcd" and
want to "lieiittle Luther," etc.
Now let us take a glance at Rev.
Fair l'lav's somewhat unti*usl fairness.
No one, lio IK,ldly asserts, is authority
on Luther and Lutheristn who is not aii
"out and out Lutheran. Rev*.Dr.Fisher,
Hchaff, Hodge. Nevin,Cox, etc., however
eminent in learning uml character, are
no authority. Even I>r. Dorner is ruled
, -out because, though a Lutheran, lie i*
not, properly speaking, an out and out
Lutheran. In answer to all those, even
the most ordinary* "villige preacher"
count* himself competent to say you.
nay, simply because he is an mil und
out Lutheran. Such preposterous nun-
MCII'C and egotism, a person would
hardly have looked for in the rnnk* of
Centre county ministry. Yet this styles
itself bv way of pre-eminence i'sir
Flay.
Mere, however, is one thing which I
ask the reader well to notice. Kv. K.
now admits that Luther was a nredes
tinariao —an absolute, unconditional
pied®'tin#rian, as I claimed from the-
St.-rt b"fore be so foa*tfutly de
oie ; T* . '*? •* '•!f" . '* surrendering
the w". l' •iui <• ui> to l , ersy so far a* j
i I predestination is concerned. Ibit eo,
♦ 1 now, how he attempts to creep out of it.
i He says, "I found fruit with it from the
" I start because of it - offensive boldness
!> i and unfairness." No. 1 beg leave to
tr ! inform him that lie found futilt with it
0 on the ground that it was not true,
0 ! And if true, us now admitted, pray
j wherein consisted its offensive lwildnen*?
j Is it offensive, then, to speak the truth
jof Luther? And my crime, it now
rs J seems, consisted, In part, at least in my
' daring to say ot Luther what Rev. F.
" | did not want said, though true. I'nfnir
it | ness ho calls it, as it tecum, because, as
! he alleges, Luther did not remain a pro
-1 destinarian. He says, "you might *s
k | well charge him with being a Koni'iti
* Catholic or a Monk. He was these, but
' diii he remain them?" I answer most
.♦ ' emphatically, Luther lived and died an
'j ' unconditional predes'inarian. This is
I candidly admitted, sl>o, by a majority
l of "out and out Lutherans." But some
j ' Lutherans have claimed otherwise for
two reasons ; 1. That in later years ho
ullows the doctrine to fall more intolhe
1 background: and 2d, thai it is not con
sistent with his doclrino of the Saer: -
~ rnents. Beyond tliis, they have noth
r, ingtorest "their claim upon—not one
■ lino he ever wrote, nor a single utter
J? ance that has been preserved to our
>. day. But to these it is answered, on
the other side, that making less account
~ of a doctrine is not retraction; and a
y j for logical consistency, all the worbi
j i knows lie never askeduhout logical cor.-
| sistency. The evidence oiijlheother siih*
'* ! is most conclusive. In the year I.YiT,
| Luther reaffirmed liis book "De Servi >
. Arhitrio," as one of hi* very best. In
, 1544. only two years before hi* death,
j in hi* commentary on Mem-sis—hi* la*i
great work—he *till maintains ami d
j fends his former view, on pvedestina
j tion. F>r. Luthurdt, in hi* book, "On
j the Freedom of the Will," p. 14rt, *iy,
he "never recalled hut retained lii*
earlier views of predestination." Dr.
Koetlin affirm* th same thing in most
explicit language. In llcr/.og* Cvclo
pedis, vol. *, p. lil-L ho rays that in later
life jic no longi-r repeated thoso fiar-1-
sounding phrases concerning the rein
tion of the divine will to sin, and di*
cournged al.-otiio discussion of thegr< a'
mystery, considering it something not
to be discussed bul rather to be receiv
ed in reverent submission; "but," Koest
tin goes on to say, "he never in any way
makes any declaration which is intend
ed by him as a retraction or even a mod
ificaiion of tiie doi irinea of that liook"
iDc Servo Arhitrio.) Yea. I *ny most
eontidciitly there i* no evidence whnt
ever that Luther ever changed on the
subject of prcdestinatism. He lived
and died an unconditional predestinn
rian. The Smalcald Artieicle* once
more. Rev. F. ha* tried to make cap;
tal out of the fact that I had no copy
of these Articles hut relied on the HI)
thortiy of other*. But I have theni
now. In I'art .Id. Art. I, Luther denies
a* a scholastic error, "that man ha* frc.
dom of will to foreakc the evil and do
the good, and to for-ake the good and do
the evil. ("Iu.s dcr mensch freicn
wille babe da* boese zu lftssen und da*
gute zu gute und wiederum da*
gUte zu lossen lind da* Iste*.. zu tlltlli."i
I'll -re i* the slavery of the human will
in plnitie-t language. It lie* not in the
first but in the lost clause. We must all
admit that man ha* no |*.wer to forsake
, the evil and do the gis| -that he can
do so only through divine grace; hut if
we denv that he ha* no freedom or |ow
er to forsake the good mid do the evil,
the freedom of the human will in it re
lation to the divine sovereignty i
absolutely gone, and man becomes a*
resitonsive und obedient to the divine
will a* the planet* in the heavens.
And that such tinfree, aiiosolute
subordination of the human will
to the divine, can l>e logically eon
neeted only with unconditional predes
tination. it is hardl) necessary for me in
add. So Schaff and Dorner were ssfe
guides after all, and theMmslis'd arti
cle# do involve predestination. Rev
F.'a assertion that If. Waliher admit*
hi* doctrine iol- un Lutheran is-imply |
Utighsble. Dr. Walther and the Mi* j
aouri Synod are the strictest Lutbei
sns in the world—"the out and nut
Lutheran*.' They charge all non pre
destinarian Lutheran* with being no
Lutberana at all. but aimply synergistic
heretics; and these charges, thev say,
they can prove both hy Scripture and
by Luther. A special press ha* been ,
established to fight Ih. Walther*, and
nepers, pamphlets and book* have been
hurled at him in vain.
Rev. F. makes a long quotation
againat the charge of "oonaubstantis
lion.'' I am not aware that I even
"mooted" the muah hated word, end I
do not know why he indulge* in aticb
long quotation V nl<*, u fee op
.ppnarihCM —tft create e big smoke and
noise end great show of baltle Id make
believe that he is doing tremendous exe
cution. Hr jierchance be feela tbet pert
of tfa Lfftberan bulwark to be some
whit weak and f need of strengthen
ing. That Would explain why as soon
as be catches sight Of approaching dsn
Ser even in the dim distance, he inns
iately rushes thither With he heaviest
artillery and fires it o<f.
Ha also renews bis charge (hat I suid
the "Lutheran church had largely come
over to Zwingli's view of the "Lord s
Supper.' Now I have the most distinct
recollection of that part of my address,
and I muat once for all pronounce his
charg.- wholly and absolutely untrue.
He says he has it in his notes. Lan
swer a man's notes are no more reliable
than is the man himself. He says he
can bring a dozen to support his charge.
I answer that bis position would be very
much stronger it be had done so, in
stead of saying simply that be could do
so; and also that it would certainly not
he surprising if there were • dozen and
more who die! not hear or take notice of
m v "modifying clauses," such occasional
listlessne** being very common. I have
brought forward three witnesses than
whom there were certainly no more
competent ones in the house, and 1
challenge Rev. F. to bring his. Let
him make good bis boasting.
Kev. f. s attempt to secure company
in his untrue and unjust charge against
Dr. Schaff is a most miserable failure
Whether Luther's towering greatness is
a constant temptation to the Lutherans
for hero-worship is a matter of judge
ment on which Dr. Scbsff and Dr. Seles
n*y very naturally and honestly hold
different opinions. But Key. P.' charge
concerns a matWr of fact concerning
t
>, which Dr. 8-rliaff may iL-lUiarnti-lv falsify
1. hut can tint possibly err. Aml I have
e not the least doubt that if thin charge
tv.-ro brought to the notice ol I>r. Si-i*, J
0 lie would ilc>nounco it with that supreme
1 scorn and contempt which it no nighty |
merits. Let It ho remembered also that
y U'v. F. la entirely ignorant of th his
-7 tory ol Dr. Kahnia and hna nothing
t whatever to base his eharge upon except i
v iiis Lutheran prejudices, and then It in
v bane conduct will he seen in its true j
. light.
In conclusion lie quotes Dr. Ivrnuth j
to vindicate Luther's refusal of the ,
'• hand of Zsringli. Dr. Krauth is the
s author ol the famous Oaleahurg rule. '
it lie urges the Lutheranchureh to break j
t off all christian fellowship with other!
t denominations,and allow no other min
n istera to preach in their pulpits and no
s otln r church members to commune at
V their altars. In consistency with such
e views Dr. Krauth would, of course,
r justify Luther's refusal of the hand of
0 Zwingli. But a< nine-tenths of our
c American protestantism including Rev
Fisher's own Synod of the Lutheran
- church, rejects Dr. Krauth's position on
the Cialeshurg rule, so n would rjt
e his vindication of Luther's -efusal of
the hand ol Zw ngli. In addition, it is
r very interesting to m-a how Itev. I. j

Some Political Probabilities.
i "
The possibilities of the coming csin
paign are startling. A local newspaper
in just or malice has invited General
s William Lilly to enter the field a
• candidate h>r congressman at large, til
' course this means that the red vest of
r the Maorh Chunk sundav Soldier wdl
1 be battle flag in the preliminary con
j test. An invitation to General William
, i Lilly to become a candidate lor <d!ire
I | will never go begging. In fact it is
; altogether likely that if the invitation
> had been delayd a day ro two longer
the general would have turned up as a
candidate on his own account. It is
doubtful, however, if his candidacy will
! extend beyond the convention. In
. parceling out the offices this year Quay
ii is lik ly to put so im|>ortant a one a
; that in question where it will do more
|good than in the hands of General
! Lilly.
But there are other trouble* impen
ding that arc likely to he lea* easily
adjusted. Colonel Quay has quietly

among these is Judge Kelley. The one

A Moat Extraordinary Tale. 1

aar TO TIIB PBBainstvT.
Philadelphia, Feb. 13.—Tha 7says
"It is no longer a secret that the work
of the Department of Justice in ex
posing robbery on the part of United '
•Stales official in the South has seriously 1
interfered with President Arthur's <
scheme to get the Southern .Stats*
delegate# solid for himself in the next
National Republic an convention. Every I
body here knows that there has been '
the greatest uneasiness at the While
House for a long time.
"Attorney General Hrawater,General 1
Agent Brewster Cameron and the ex- 1
amioers working under their direction 1
have bad but one purpose. They have '
I
sought to put n stop to the enormous
robbery ol the Government which has
been going on for years. It had been
lh custum to make an alleged exam
I inution of the accounts cf United
States Marshals, hut in nearly all cases
the examiners were blinded by the
j delinquent officials arid nothing re
sulted hut a favorable report. The
I present administration of the th-pari
| menet undertook a different method.
"Through the capable and complete
work of Brewster Cameron and hi* ex
aminera under the direction of the At
! torney General many cases of plun
dcring by Marshals have been exposed.
Some of these have already been
published in the 'fimri. The fact have
all been laid before the President and
in some caves a' lion was taken by him.
It in a matter of common understanding
however, thai he refused to ad in noun
other cases. When iho Strobach ctii
in Alabama—one of the worst of all—
was laid hare the President declined
' action, although the name of Stroba>-lin
ha't been vent to the Senate for <_ni
lirmation as Marshal of Alabama. "I l
is stated that when lb-- facts were made
up Secretary Chandler went to the lie
partment of Justice aud insisted that
the work would have to stop. Whet
' fold that the department was orqy do
ing its duty and should have to con
unuo doing it, Chandler threatened
that the place would he cleaned out
It i*aid,lo, that George Bliss whose
position in the Star route cases j* more
ihvn suspected -made similar threat*
in the department. The exposure of
official robf *rty 111 the South su inter
fering with Arthur's plans for a renomi
nation and every effort was made to
east odium upon the Department of
Justice. Chandler and Bliss were very
t-usy working the newspaper up to the
a* tacks, particularly upon Brewster
f'amerot., and many reputable papers
were misled into serving them.
"There i a better knowledge of the
•ituttion now. Nobody misunderstand*
th attitude of the President toward
the Attorney General and the reasons
for it. It is the difference between the
. methods of officials who se' k lo do
their to the public.''
Pcnnnylvunin Republicans.
The plotthickens. Says the Harris
burg I'atn i Congrc.*m*n Btrr announ
cesthat his choice for president is John
A. I.ogan. of Illinois. Colonel Quay
simultaneously declares that he prrfer
Arthur, hut that Logan would suit bim
very well. Those Philadelphia aj>jK>ir.t"
merits arc hanging fire and Quay and
Bsrr are showing their teeth just uf
firirntlv to scare the president into
obedience to the stalwart demand.
Arthur rn have the Pennsylvania
delegation, or rather the stalwart
l-ortion of it. if he will make the ap
pointrnenta demanded by Quay The
course of the preaident in regard to that
matter will be watched with a keen
interest by the politicians of both wings
of the republican party in this state.
The result of the Philadelphia elec
tion is likely to have some bearing on
the presidential situation in this state
so far aa the republican nomination i*
concerned. If the machine ticket for
municipal offices should be succesaful
Quay will be greatly strengthened in
1 effort to control the Pennsylvania dc
legation. That ticket wat nominated
through influence o( the "state ring'
ol which Quay ie the chief and iu sue
•tea* will thgrvfor he regarded aa a
victory for (hat self constituted bo*#,
! If en the other hand it should be de
feated the independent element will
•Dm* to the front and Mr. Quay'*
political power will be so weakened that
be will be unable to deliver e majority
|of the Pennsylvania delegation to any
! stalwart candidate.
Meanwhile the supporters of Blaine
. are not Idle. Tbey are preparing to
' elect delegates to the Chicago eonven
; Hon by popular district convention
and have already taken possession of
i the ftirlreorganisation' in *>amber of
congressional district*. Thev have
lieen eutman OMIT red in two suoesMive
state conventions in the election of
delegates to the national convention,
but they propose to fight thvlr battle
this time outside of the state conven
tion. Doubtless Mr. Quey will under
take to undo their work when the
state convention meets and if the ad
ministration at Washington should aid
him with sufficient patronage he will
moat likely make inroads upon the
Blaine atrengtb, A hotly cont>i>t*d
battle is evidently in prospect, with
Arthur's chance for a majority of the
delegates decidedly good If the stalwart
appointments for the state are forth
coming in due season.
