THE' PTTTSBTJEG DISPATCH MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1891 c- BRIGGS' TRIAL TO-DAY. The Famous Heresy Caso Will Come to a Hearing This Morning. EARLY CONCLUSION LOOKED FOE. The Issues Involve the Divine Origin of the Scriptures. TEOTESTAXTISM AS A WHOLE AT STAKE re rrci ti TCI.ECHAM to toe dispatch. 1 Xew York, Oct. $. New York Presby tery assembles to-morrow in the old Scotch Church, in Fourteenth street, to begin the most important trial in the history of Pro-ie-tauisnu The Iter. Dr. Charles Augustus JJricgs is to be arraigned on charges of heresy. The importance of this trial is due to the fact that the issues involve the in spiration, authenticity, infallibility, char acter and influence of the Holy Bible. The popular idea that the Bible is the word of God, written under His direct influ ence, upon which rests the religious belief of many millions of people, against the f-cholars and critics" theory that the Scrip tures are human writings, characterired by the same mistakes and inventions of other human writings, and differing from them in the divine element in degree only, is one of the issues. And the other.no less im portant.is the force and effect upon ordained ministers of their vows of subscription to the Churcli standards, which form the basis of all religious communions. THKEE rORMER TRIALS. There have been three othergre3t Presby terian heresy trials in America within the century. But the doctrines involved were trilling in comparison with those in the Brisg cae. Thomas S. Craighead, a Ken tucky preacher of solid Presbyterian ante cedents and unusual ability, developed at the beginning of the century views an tagonistic to the famous Calvanistic decrees of foreordiuation. There were trials with convictions in the lower courts, with ap peals and reversals, disquieting the Church greatly for many years, until the death of the acciit-ed put an end to the case, just as the General Assembly was about to pass judgment against him! Toward the middle of the century Albert Barnes, the famous commentator, was tried lor neresy ny tne A'niiadciphia Presbytery. announced that Dr. Paton will not attend Presbvtery during the progress of the trial. If the report ofthe committee is laid on the table to-morrow the effect will be to force a complaint to Synod or to the Gen eral Assembly, and thus secure an order for the Presbytery to proceed with the trial. Or in an extremity, Dr. Birch or some equally earnest conservative will come for ward and shoulder the responsibility ofthe charges, and thus compel Presbytery to un dertake the trial. A careful canvass of the voters in Presbytery gives this result: Ministers, conservatives, likely to vote finally against the views attributed to Dr. Briggs, 64; liberals counted as firm Briggs men, 44; doubtful ministers not yet decided, 13; absent or disabled by sickness and vacancies. 33; elders, two-thirds of whom are anti-Briggs men, 55. Giving Dr. Briggs all the doubtful votes and half the elders, the conservatives will still have a majority. But the numbers will be greatly reduced by willful absenteeism, and on a motion to compromise or to avoid a trial, many of the conservatives will be found voting with the Briggs men. SUNDAY'S BIG PAPER. EAILEOAD MEN'S TEOUBLES I ITS BEST roTNTS BOILED INTO A MNE rTO GIVE A GLIMPSE Hioflence was a denial of the Calvanistic doctrines of the imputation of sin through Adam's tall and of righteousness through Christ's sacrifice The case was heard in Synod and also in General Assembly, where St resulted m Dr. Barnes acquittal. The history of this case is the most amazing theological wrangle ever recorded. Then came the cae of David Swing at the close 1 the third quarter of the centurv. Dr. Swiug's preaching was of the humanitarian sort and not at all up to the Calvanistic standards of Princeton College. Dr. Francis J Patton pressed the charges o unevan pelical preaching against the eminent Chi cago divine with all the energy and torce for which he has since become famous. ACQUITTEH 111 l'ltESBlTKRV. An acquittal in the Chicago Presbytery ly a vote of 4. to lo was the first result of this trial. Five davs after came Dr.Swing's resignation, and in October of 1874 the Synod of Northern Illinois reviewed the testimony taken in Presbytery and found that he ought to have been convicted. Each of these trials was had upon charges preferred by individuals. The prosecutor in the case ot Dr. Briggs is the Presbyte rian Church of the United States of Amer ica. This was the first victory for the op position. Dr. George M. F. Birch, a Penn pylvanian, and valedictorian in 1858 of Washington College, began the movement against Dr. Briggs upon the appearance of the famous inaugural address on the au thority of Holj' Scripture. Although Dr. Birch was a theologian and a student, he took rounsel of Dr. Henry Van Dyke and Dr. Shedd. On his motion an investigation of the address was ordered by Presbytery, and a committee favorable to Dr. Briggs was appointed for the purpose. Young Dr. Henry Van Dyke, a warm supporter of Dr. Briggs, refused to serve on tne committee. Another liberal man on the committee wavered and Dr. Birch captured the com mittee, bringing in a report recommending a judicial inquiry. Vhen the vote on this report was tasren Dr. Brings' friends remained away from Presbytery, and it was ordered by a vote numbering about one-fourth of the voting force of Presbytery. Then came the veto at Detroit by "the General Assembly, in which the conduct of Dr. Briggs' friends was characterized by the same halting dis position. THE PROGRAMME 1X)R TO-DAY. In pursuance ofthe action of Presbytery, the indictment against Dr. Briggs is to be read to-morrow. According to the rule of the Church nothing more can be done in the ease for ten days. If the trial is to proceed that time is necessary to acquaint the Pres bytery with the charges and specifications ot the indictment. I.ut -there is every pros pect ef an immediate conclusion of tfie case to-morrow in Presbytery in a manner that tannot fail to be "unsatisfactory to the Churcli at large. Dr. John Hall, of the Fifth Avenue Church, has advanced as the advocate of peace, and has counselad and urged the Presbyters to quiet Dr. Briggs' accusers and to drop the case. I.ast summer before his departure lor Europe, Dr. Hall urged this course for the sake of harmonv in the Church, and upon his return Ins efforts wrre returned. Dr. Hall's argument is that Dr. Briggs has cien full satisfaction to the Churcli in answering the eight questions put to him by the directors of Union Semi nary and that his veto bv the General As sembly last la is punishment enough,both for him and the seminarv. Within the past -week Dr. Hall has been button holing Presbyters to secure votes for a mo tion to be made on Monday morning to lay the report ofthe prosecution committee on the table and thus avoid the harrowing de tails of a heresy trial. DR. HALL'S MANY ESCAPES. Another thing whose avoidance is greatly to be desired is the necessity of voting on the merits of the case. This Dr. Hall cs- Jiecially feels, as he-has carefully arranged lis business in the past so as to compel his absence from places where this duty is re quired of him. He escaped by a few hours tlie rote in Presbytery last May; by a few minutes the vote in Union Seminary last Jane, and altogether, by resigning his com mission, the vote in General Assembly at Detroit. One member of Presbytery who has felt the effects of Dr. Hall's pleading is Colonel John J. McCouk, of the prosecution com mittee an elder in his church. At the netting of Dr. Hall's session Friday night, when a successor to Presbyter McCook was to be elected, efforts were made to elect a Briggs man to the place. Mr. Kobert Beggs was chosen Presbyter and Mr. John Sloane his alternate. Both are anti-Briggs men, and the Fifth Avenue Churcli will be represented again in Presbytery by a con servathe elder. Another man who is giving the conserva tive trouble is Dr. Charles S. Kobinson, of lit tan book fame. Dr. Kobinson was bitter aniii-t Dr. Briggs at the May meeting of "n-bytcry, but during the summer he ei wnenced a change of heart, and his in fluence is no cast iti, tjle peace party. As the Fifth Avenue Church recently adopted Dr. I'obinson's Hvmnal for its ser vices, the influence of Dr. Hall with his toother Presbyter mav account for the trhanse of sentiment UK. PAXTUX'.S CHANGE Ol" HEART. Dr. John l:. Paxtou, the independent and popular W'ashingionian, now occupying a pnlpit in Forty-second street, opposite the reservoir, has also changed his mind on the Brigss case. In Ins peculiar daring way last May, Dr. Paxton assisted the iriends of ar. jsnggs matenallv in opposing the insti tution nf inrl!.iit ... l!J ti - . ..

Eepr'sentntives of the larger part of 424 lodges ar already here. The three princi pal issues to come before the convention are relative to the discharge of the Grand Trustees by Grand Master a E. "Wilkinson, the discharge of the switchmen on the Northwestern road and the election of ofn cere. F. M. McNerey, the Northwestern Yardmaster at Chicago, and the Trainmen's Grievance Committee on that system are here to explain'that difficulty to the con vention. Grand Chief Conductor E. E. Clark, ofthe Order of Railway Conductors, is present and sustains the position taken by Grand Master "Wilkinson and disap proves the action taken by the Supreme Council in expelling the trainmen. Hon. L. S. Coffin, of Iowa, arrived last night to advocate the necessity of automa tic couplers for cars and Sunday rest for railway employees. So far as the switch men's trouble is concerned it is likely that the convention will sustain the action of the Grand Master. The latter part of the week some action may be taken on the fed eration question, but this will depend on the action taken at the meeting this week at Cedar Rapids of the committees of the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors and Order of Railway Conductors on the pro position of a union ofthe two organizations.
