A committee will now b appointed to
prepare a minute for lit bm ssion to the
Scneral Assembly prescribing th punish
unit to b meted out. There ar five things
'.h General AMinbly can do: Admonish,
rebuke, suspend, det-ose from tb ministry

There were five grounds c.f appeal and Si
iperiflcation. Fnrh of these cinrationt
as voted iiKn sing y. At the end of th
voting on these the roll was to be called
upon t he general question: "hall th appeal
be sustained.'" and it was.
I he whole day was spent in Ihree-mlnute
speeches on Dr. Brigg s case. Nearly all
the lending c runiis-ioner look pari in to
debate, ihe lirst voice raised In lavor of
Dr. Brings was that of th Hev. Charles
Fuller, of Ihe Presbytery of dunnison. Col.
With vicorons laiiguaite he asserted that in
ui opinion it, iiriggs language wus mis
Utiilerstrod. Then lie added that the wotds of Jcni
were also misun derdonil. and that tbe
Christian church to duv is ilivided on th
interpretation of the words of Christ. "This
i my body." It wa .lust as reasonable, he
added, to complain that Christ did Hot fak
more clearly, us to bring tuih a charg
against Dr. Briggs.
The venerable Dr. Smith, of Baltimore,
expressed the belief thnt the apjieal should
be sustained, while the coin im-sioiiers from
this city, the Kev. Joseph T. Kelly nnd
John Itandolpli, ranged themselves on tb
same side
As the call of the roll by Pynisl wobt on,
ministers and elders arose and gave their
opinion of Dr. Hrigg. ami the character
and inlluence of Ins teachings.
Four member of th Synod of Illinois
spoke against sustaining the appeal. Dr.
Derrick Johnson's snech wa forcible and
clear. The Hev. Thomas C. Hall took oc
casion to explain that his father' name had
been maintained among those who favored
the prosecution, while he had expressed no
tpHsition to the proceeding in writing.
A change of views was announced by the
Rev. John W. Ptigli, D. D.. of the Bloom
Ington, III., Presbytery. Ke said he had
voted ngamst entertaining the abpe.il, but
afier hearing Dr. Briggs' defence he had
concluded that it was merely Bciul plead
ing aud avoided the issues. A rather blunt
alternative was presented by the Hev. John
IS. Kays. D. D.. the blind preacher of Ken
tucky, which was that Dr.Brigga's doctrines
would hav to be made a part of th stand
ards of th church, or else Dr. Briggs
would hav to leave the chnrch.
At noon Dr. Brig- asked L.- be relieved
as a party from further attendance at th
session. II looked tired and sad. The
juesi was granted amid considerable x
citerncnt. The debate closed at 10 p. ta., when th
vote w:i taken. After its announcement
a committee was appointed to brimr in
explanatory minute, and th session ad-
joiiniiu.
THE l.ST Alt.
Al the Thursday afternoon session Dr.
Craig convvii'd the sssembly as a conrt to
bear the report ol the committee aprointed
to prepare tb explanatory minute iu th
Briggs case.
Hev. Mr. Hoyt, chairman of the commit
tee, before n aking the reiort, called upon
Dr. Baker, chairman of a sub co r mutes
sent to interview Prof. Brigs in a spirit of
conciliation, to report the result of that in
terview. Dr. Baker aid the committee had
hoped that Prof. Briggs would SBy some
thing which might relieve tbi tension of tbe
i resent distressing situation. But tbi hope
had not been realized. Prof. Biigg stated
his irrevocable determination to 1 abide by
the declaration made in his address before
tbe assembly in his defense and to continue
to teach tbe doctrine there avowed.

At the rtqnent of Dr. Baker Prof. Briggs
