Answor to Rev. J. F. DeLong.
According to the rules of debate, it is
my privilege to close this discussion be
tween Rev. It-Long end myself. To do
this, I shall tako up his last article item
by item.
1. My charge ngainst Rev. Del,nog in
bis use of the Krnalcald Articles was
simply that he did not quote ennu/h 1
from them to properly understand
them. He must not close his eyes to
my language here. I said he used only
"a line or two" from these Articles.
Where is there room, therefore, for li-v.
DeLong's saying that "by reason of the
ommission of that insignificant word
('again') In thetranslation.be tinhlush
ingly, insinuates the charge of 'twist
ing ?' " My point, 1 reiterate, rested
simply on the fact lhat "a line or two'
from the Smalcald Articles could not j
settle the controversy of predestination
as far as those Articles were concerned. 1
This little explanation will justify my
being "captious." And if Rev. DeLong
cannot help chafing under mv setting
him right by quoting the Article in full. I
let him lay it to the charge of the "emo
tional" Luther, who "never.nked about
logical consistency," and vet who is the
author of the incomparable document !
from which that article is quoted.
2. Byway ofstrengthentng his charge
of predestination against the Smalcald
Articles, Rev. DeLong asks: "Will Rv. ;
Fischer please tell us why bis own Svn- 1
od refused so to receive them ?" (the
Smalcald Articles.) Most gladly do I
answer this. Rev. DeLong. you see, is
still sitting at my feet, learning a little
more of Lutheranism. Surely be ought
to be profoudly grateful while he live.,
for the educational influences of tin
discussion. But to my answer. The
General Synod does not repudiate the |
Smalcald Articles. The Augsburg Con
fession being the confession adopted
after the Reformation begun, tne Den
eral Synod believes it still sufficient to (
require of its clergy, subscription to it |
alone. It can not he "legitimately" in :
ferred, indeed it is a not eejuilur, that, j
the General Synod, because it demand. !
subscription to the Augsburg Confession
alone, thereby rejects the Smalcald Arti
cleg.. Futhermore, I distinctly showed
by my quotations (in my last article,)
from the Angshurg Confession and the
•Smalcald Articles, that there is no such
clashing between them on this matter
of predestination. For the reason,
therefore, tbat Rev. DeLong has in
nothing 'shown, that the Lutheran
church iu her symbols teaches predeeti- 1
nation, I am obliged to reiterate the
statement that that doctrine is not only
not taught, but on the contrary, most
positively rejected by us. If Rev. De
Long insists on scenting out this doc
trine, why not quote Catvantsm at once,
and thus settle the question oco* for
all.
3. In reference to Luther aa a [.redes- 1
tinarian I have a final word also. One
thing is very apparent to the reader of
Rev. DeLong's last article, end that is,
that he comes over to my ground. I
never once said Luther did not show
prod est inarian tendencies. From the 1
beginning I maintained thai Rev. De-
Long did not atate how far Luther was a
pred est inarian. Now he admits with
me, tbat Luther was once on thai way.
but did not remain upon it. Still fur- i
titer, I have shown Rev. DeLong that ,
Luther's utterances on thia question
were not his calm, ttudied sentiments as '
a theologian, and this he has not dared <
to gainsay. I alto quoted I.uthardt to ,
prove that Luther was not an "absolute
predestinarian," and I further stated '
that he, (Luther) nowhere has a re '
corded utterance as a doctrinal state- I
tnent to this effect. If all this is an ad j,
mission that Luther was a predestinsri '
an, then Rev. DeLong has discovered '
the Knglish language capable of saying : 1
more than any one else ever knew it to I
be capable ol expressing.
4. Iter. DeLong can make no capital
of the fact that I have dragged no 1
names into prnt to sustain my charge I
against him. Nothing but a gentleman
ly instinct has kept me from doiDg this. 1
I have not forgotten Judge Orris' state
ment and can hack up my charge. My <
veracity ia unquestioned, and I alill give
my friend the privilege of seeing and
hearing tbeee witnesses. What can be
more honerable than this'
5. My being silent on the point of '
Lntber's not "distinguiebing properly
between saving laitb and dootrinal
faith," ia very eeeily explained. In my
very Seat article 1 stated tbat tha key
to ell theology Lather found in en In
oernete God. Be insisted thet this wee
the very heart of divine truth and at
the problems which sprang out of that
ha labored. I regarded tbat a sufficient
answer on tbis point, therefore, my
silence. Rev. DeLong seems to think
tbat I consider him defeated because of
kit silence on tbis ore point. Not at all.
•
%
■lt i# much better. It fir* point* up
i[ on which there lins boon such signifi
cant silence,—this, together with the
very "unfortunate remark" nt the tea
party ought to he enough to constitute
a defeat.
0. The chsrge, that Rev. DeLong "in
[ substance stated that fie could not
speak well of all the Reformers nnd
1 do justice to Zwingli," Rev. D-Long hits
attempted to explain. He introduces
so nuny considerations byway of clear
ing this up, that the common render is
slmust ni) stifled concerning the fact it
self, Rev. DeLong hss this to ray : "I
never thought nor even meant to say
sny such thing." < if course this Is node
nial. He bus resliy said nothing to ex
plain it away. This was an "unfortu
nate" tea party remark, and I would he
very glad if nty friend could recall it.
Hut it hss gotie forth, and there is only
too much "bottom" to it. That "unfortu
nate remark" is the "fly that spoils the
ointment," or as Tennyson puts it i
"The lints rtn allhln the lots.
That by and by will iimko th# luualr mm#
The "Lutheran" referred to as having
been present at thst "little tea party"
hss in his pi a-esion a letter written by
Rev. DeLong himself in regsrd to this
matter, which is a full vindication of
that "Lutheran," for the statement M
set forth in uiy two previous articles,
and which was not reported to me by
him, I having first received the infor
tnation indirectly. That Lutheran
further srys that the statement made
at that "little tea party" was in sub
stance the same that he heard him
(Rev. DeLong) nmke on a previous or
casion, when "lime, place uud circum
stances" were not such as to prevent
him from making the explanation he
now makes.
7. Rev. DeLong thinks I have made
a mistake in ducus.mg these matters
! throngh the newspaper. He thinks n
| sermon or two from my own pulpit
i would have corrected the false imeres
| sions made Lv his address at Centre
! Ilall. To ihi- I reply, Ist. My an ! •■-..•
i would not In* lhat i.no gathered In listen to
: the /.wingli Memorial Service. 2nd. The
1 address • of such a chsrsi-ter that its
1 -entiments would not ho confined to the
inpin-diste vicinity of Centra Hall. •)
The newspaper reaches alt mv people, and
many others who might be misinformed on
, the points in dispute and thuss more siu
. factory slid indssd more (termanant irn
i pression coifld be made. Th discussion is
thus before the people in a form that can
.be easily retained 1 have a linger
; ing suspicion lhat It-v. D-lcang is not so
1 much concerned about my own people and
I the l>os<. way to take in setting them right, !
as he is shout himself This newspaper
1 discussion hss exposed a great d'-al And
I would further add right here, that mv '
j "Lutheran advisers of li 'llefonte, ' had
nothing whatever to do with precipitating 1
this discussion. Rev Delgrng is alone r-■
yeinsihle for this whole controversy It
was through his imprudence in his address
j that he threw down the gauntlet and I .
| could nol help but take it Up. As to who j
g,.t the "whipping, / will not say. The
intelligent public is the judge of that 1
matter. Only this word in conclusion. I
| may be permitted to call attention to the
fact that Rev. DeLong has throughout
! this controversy b-s-n painfully consistent
; with himself. Proceeding upon the prin
| eiple that distortion of trutn and fierce
invective are the most effective weapons of
■ defense, he has to the rrtd adhered to this j
line of policy. I. an certainly find nooh- j
j j eclion to his a.eapons. ID- chose them.
doubtless, carefully and intelligently But '
j 1 do regret exceedingly that h could not
I meet my position taken without resorting !
to humiliating diatr.be Far better too, .
had it been for truth and justice, (if he he. j
| listed that he had truth on his sid- , had
i he met my position wtth rtilm. sober, coun
| ter-truth, than to indulge in rattling phil
: tppic again't me. Surely, I'.ev. Ielc>ng
i has not approximated vorv near to his |ead
i or, the "cool headed" /.wingli And I
may yet add, if Rev. De lying has failed to
drag rrw> down to "the miserable low lev
el," fusing his own words,/ upon which he
claims to have stood in this discussion, mv
only apology is that I have sought to vin
dicate tfUlli and could not do it by pursu
ing a course other than I have done For
my ownself, I have no regret* That my
| friend should charge the sin of dragging
, this controversy down to hrn he put it,
on my "boyish" conduct is of course
strange enough But whatever msv have
been the occasion of the sf , /> he admits. I
want him to remember that we are taught
this' "For every man shall hear his own
burden." I now leave the whole qu-stinii
with ohirity towards all ssl malice
against none, *atsffed stiii, as "the roost

BT CoNUWUis,
Congress Las leen three months in

was known, on the testimony of roj ohli
nana who had been participant* in eome

that I'nited -State judgshipa had Keen

that a cabinet position had L-en pledged
to a New York banker as his reward !
for raising the Indiana corruption fund,
and that the election in New York had 1
been purchases! the same yaar by"a

It waa known that the present president
of the United .State*, while vie* preai

given in honor of ex Senator I horsey
that Indiana had lieen carried by
"soap."
These are tha wont crime* that could
ba committed against a republican gar
eminent. They strike at Iu vefy
existence. They strip thelTaited States
Supreme Court, tha A eel arbiter of tbo

In the courwe of the regular htisincs*
of Congress the committee on expen

have found it nece**ry to investigate
the expenses and method* of the slur

have stumbled on some startling fact* !
President Garfield's reputdican attor

the cabinet after Garfield's murder be
cause l'residena Arthur and hi* advisers
were in sympathy with the public rob

I'rcsidcnt Gat field's postmaster gen

murdered because of hi* prosecution of
the Slur route thieves, and that in bi*
belief tne attorney general and postmua

Do not these incidental revelation*
