Colonel Dalgoty's guns ore admirably

ATTACKS CREED.
REV. DR. PARKHURST'S ASSAULT ON
WESTMINSTER CONFESSION.
Chrlxt't Words to Nlcodeimts Creed
Knough For Illin The Doctrine of
Foreonllniitlon, He Ileelared, a llurden
to the I'resbyterlan Church.
Nkw York, April 16. Rev. Dr .Ohas.
H. Parkhurst, speaking in his pulpit in
Madison Square Presbyterian church,
biade a vigorous assault on the West
minster confession of faith. Ho said:
"We ought to have a new confession
of faith. It is surprising that the Pres
byterian churoii is ablo to do as much ns
it is doing with such an incumbrance
strapiied upon xis as we are tottering un
der iu our present confession. In tho
first place tho thing needed is not a sys
tem of theology, for that is what our
present confession is, but a simplo. brief
Saxon statement of a half dozen or so of
the vital ingredients of Jesus Christ's
messago to the world. I could got along
with a confession of faith containing
but the little that Jesus said vrheu he
was trying to make a Christian o"Nico
demus: 'God so loved the world that ho
gave his only begotten son, that whoso
ever believeth in him should not perish,
but have eternal life
'That gives us the doctrine of God's
unlimited love, human guilt, tho Di
vinity of Christ, salvation throngh
Christ, faith in Christ, immortality;
every word Saxon, threo-quarters of
the words monasyllables, profound
enough for any elder, feimplo enough for
any four year old. ' " ' ' " '
"At any rate we w.mt a new creed.
Amending this one will not meet the
necessities of tho case. Bettor give it
a dignified . place in tho museum for
what it is than hack it to pieces and ro
vamp it for what it is not.
"And then, once more, if there were
among us the distinct feeding which tho
gospel so wonderfully guarantees, that
everything iu this great Christian mat
ter pivots on the absolnto and uncondi
tioned lovo of God, wo should be intol
nut toward everything that states or
even suggests anything like a partial or
arbitrary love on God's part, loving
some because ho choso to and damnin,
the rest in order to show what ho could
do and how "just ho was. '
"Now that is our hook, tho Presby
terian confession of faith in tho third
chapter. If we are thorough Presby'
terians and believo what our doctrinal
pros)Kctns advertises us as believing,
wo believo it probablo that some of the
children m your homes, little children,
perhaps the baby of your bosom is
damned, already damned, damned be
fore it was born, damned from everlast
ing to everlasting and then von are in
vited to come into church and say 'Our
Father. W hy, any man who should bo
como a father for tho sake of the joy
and 'glory' he would uso in racking his
own offspring, deliberately creating a
child with a view to the agony into
which ho was going to torture it, would
bo chased from the earth as a friend and
as an ebullition.
"It does not meet the case to sav thnt
it is only in the 'book and that no
body preaches it. It is truo that no
bady preaches it and equally true, I
doubt not, that nobody believes it.
nevertheless it is printed on tho flag Ik
neath which tho Presbyterian nrmy is
marching, and it hurts us as a denomi
nation. Men are staying out because it
is there and men are going out because
it is there."

Nkw Youk, April 16. At tho meet

Giffert, of Union seminary, was pro

said he was not advised whether the

ship and thus becomo a Congregational-
ist at once, or whether he preferred to
nwait final adjustment of his case by

he was assured that Prof. McGiffort

GOLD MAY BE EXPORTED.
Some Talk of It, mid a Small Sam Went
to Ilueuos Ayres Uevlvw
of Trade.
Nkw Youk, April 14, R. G. Dun &
Co. '8 weekly review of trade, issued to
day, said in part:
Iron furnaces in blast April 1 produced
280,482 tons weekly, against 292,643
March 1, but unsold stocks increased
2.2S0 tons. A mistaken inference, pos
Eibly fatal to many in its consequences,
Is that stocks held by consuming con
cerns must be ruuidng down. As they
contract for their supplies months ahead
and such supplies, whether delivered
and not consumed, or waiting their or
ders at furnaces, would not bo reckoned
in unsold stocks, tho surplus ownod by
consumers may be heavy.
For new business in finished products
is reported to Tho Iron Age from Pitts
burg as "frightfully small," owing to
belief that high prices can not be main
tained, and no better report comes from
Philadelphia. With Mo. 1 anthracite
$2 lower, refined bars $4 and steel plates
$11 per ton lower than in December, it
can hardly be called impossible f prices
to yield, though many are so fimly
held. Pittsburg reports a nnmbor of
plate mills shut down, and five Penn
sylvania and Ohio furnaces have stopped,
perhaps for repairs, more than balanc
ing five which started in March, two in
Tennessee adding 2,500 tons weekly.
A heavy wholesale business has been
dotie in dry goods, but the question now
is whether retail distribution will jus
tify it. As yet returns are not satisfac
tory; there is increase, but not enough
to warrant the buying from mills.
Woolens and worsteds are dull, with
concessions in fancies, though staples
are well sold up and firm. The material
declines further, averaging nearly half
a cent lower than April 1.
Iii spite of tho heavy balance due on
merchandise account, there has been
talk of gold exerts, nnd a small amount
has gone to Buenos Ayros on Eurojiean
account. Supplies of money are abuud
ant here, tho bonks have again gained
largoly, rates aro low and commercial
demands narrow, and the interior is
better prepare- than ever to do without
aid.
Tho exports of wheat from both coast a
continue larger than last year.
Western receipts continuo larger than
last year, in two weeks 6,764,040 bush
els, against 5,863, 6G3 last year. Corn
receipts also continuo hoavy, 8,917,267
bushels, against 4,6117,618 last year.
Failures for the week were 103 in the
United States, against 188 last year, and
41 in Canada, against 22 la& year,
. SCHEIL . TRIED TO ESCAPE.
Sent to Citadel at St. Helena -Crouje on
the Island.
St. Helena, April 16. Colonel Schiel
and two other Boor prisoners were
landed and sent to tho citadel in conse
quence of an attempt toescapo.
It appears that Colonel Schiel bribed
a boatman to take a letter to a Duteh
cruiser, but the boatman, by mistake,
took it to the British cruisor Niobe.
A largo knife was found in possession
of one of the three.
Colonel Schiel walked to the citadel
declining a carriage that was placed at
his disposal.
General Cronjo nnd his wifo nnd three
members of the staff of the former
Boer commandant, who, with the other
Boer prisoners, arrived here on tho
Niobe and Milwaukee on April 10, wero
landed, accompanied by Colonel Reefo.
They were met by the governor and
commander-in-chief of St. Helena, his
excellency, Robert Sterndale, and Mrs.
Sterndaln, at tho castle, where the party
remained for an hour, afterward pro
ceeding to tho Kent building.
General Cronjo looked well and ap
pears cheerful.

Cincinnati, April 16. The condition
