DELlGRTi'UL KEOEPTION,

Givon by the High School Graduates, Followed by a Ball of Immense Proportions.

The high school commancement fes tivitiea are over, the last event being the reception and dance laat evening. It was fully np to the great expectations entertained in regard to it and shows what Crawfordsville can do in a social way when her tour hundred got out in their dress clothes. It was indeed almost a crowd of four hundred for the Seniors had put out throe hundred and seventy-five invitations and there were less than twenty-live regrets received. This speaks well for tho popularity of the class of '93. A largo number of the guests were from out o£ town and had come quite a distance to attend this social function. The reception occurred at the Y.M.C.A. building, where the guests began to assemble about 8 o'clock. After a time devoted to conversation and introductions the gueste were invited to the auditorium on the first lloor, which had been converted into a banquet hall. Down the middle of the room was along table decorated with tlowors while the national colors occupied prominent places on the celing and walls. Chairs were arranged in hollow squares and refreshments were served in the laps. The banquet was particularly well managed and went oil' without the usual delays. Tho guests then repaired to the P. O. S. of A. armory where the dance was to be. After a haif hour spent in filling out programmes it was about 10 o'clock and the Crawfordsville orchestra struck up the

waltz. A number of

the best dancers were heard to compliment the musicsaying that it whs bettor than that furnished by Montani Brothers. As the hours ilew by the crowd lessened and at half past three when the homo waltz wan played there were

juBt

enough on the lloor to give every one plenty of room. T:ie :lfi,ir was a complete ar.d unqualified success and tho clasp of "!)3 may w.oil rust i.n their honors.

Public School ifotcs.

THE BRIG US CASK

SEHMON DELIVERED LAST SDN-

DAY MORNING BY DR. R. J. (JUNNINGflAM.

Riditeous Protest Against the Action

of tho General Assembly —.

Plain Words.

Ads XVI, .'II.—"Itcllcve on the I.ord Jesus Christ lunl thou sbalt besaved," Tho words of P«ul to tho Phillipian jailor when ho called for lights, and sprang in, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas aud brought them out, and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved!"

What does it mean!- this agitating of the Presbyterian church Irom center to circumforoneu with doctrinal strife! In the first place, 1. It means an interruption of the great work of aggressive evangelization, at least, temporarily. Little time is allowed in this Assembly for oxciLing in the church new interest in the great departments of its missionary enterprise. Questions of theory and uogmatius that people havo thoir own opinions about and are going to havo their opinion about after the Assembly is over, take days and days and overshadow the whole two weeks. Supposo tho field clear of these disputations, what a helpful time it would have beon, occupied as it would have been chiefly with the Lord's commission given to his disciples, "Preach the gospel to all the world, teach all the nations." Tho commissioners would have returned to their churches full of information and enthusiasm about the real problem of the Christian church, with news from the front of the battle with paganism, with irreligion, *viMi idolatry and covctousness, with worldliiicss in the myriad forms in which it opposes itself to the Kingdom of righteousness, truth, love aud peace, with zeal and determination for advanced work. What streams would havo flowed from the Assembly, making glad the whole church and refreshing the waste places of the world!

For the work of tho church lias gone prosperously the last year. Millions of dollars have been expended in building up churches and in planting hundreds of them in new territory. An advance upon anything done before! But the enthusiasm those reports created was not what it might have boon for the parliamentarians and dialectitions and the metaphysicians were, from the first and every moment, whetting their blades aud skirmishing for 1 ho vantage ground. His very sad to have to read in this day when it did seem as if the church was forgetting its dissensions aud its doctrinal differences in the spirit of the Lord's demand to work, tho backward chapter^ of the wars of words of other days.

To go from the consideration of the Foreign mission field which shines its bright est this year, strengthening the. faith of the laborers in the harvest, appealing stronger than over before the doubting Thomases, showmg more than ever before the imperial strength of our Foreign mission work, how the church is leading the entire Christian host in America in evangelizing tho nations—to go from tho enthusiasm of that council, in an instant into the lioat of a battle about technical phrases for ten times as many hours must have seemed a kind of wickedness. No wonder Dr. Field said: "i wish that the Briggs ease and this whole Assembly were in the center of Africa, and that many who heard the remark said, 'Amen,'

It is for many reasons to be regretted and an occasion for an outburst of indignation not the least of all the reasons this: that it takes time that were better spent in the practical consideration of the ere:u commission which" Christ gave his disciples, "make disciples of tho nations."

The unhappy cause for this and similar occasions lies in the polity ot the church, md in tho readiness of some in it to provoke controversy, and in the determination of others to bind their brethren with tra ditions and symbols of tho past, There is something very wrong somewhere in a church when it can be agitatod after this sort, while the agitators on eitlior side have been working together for twenty years in perfect peace, finding themselves now, at length, differing about some questions in a way which it is not easy for us nor for them to explain.

The offender at t,lie closo of his defense raises his right hand the presence of them all and solemnly nllirrns that ho believes tho 1'liblc inerrant in all matters concerning faith and practice, and in every tiling in which it is a revelation of God, and that there are no errors which disturb its infallibility in these matters, that he holds tn the entire system of doctrine set forth in the Westminster Confession. He has been a teacher of the Bible in one ol our seminaries for twenty years, and

liallenges the production of a single one of these ministers that havo been under his instruction during that period who can say that anything Unit he has taught him lias undermined or diminished his faith in tho divine authority of the Holy Scripture or his love for tho word ot God. That belief he not only assumed at his ordination but rcassumed every three years since according to the rule of the Union Theological Seininat-y.

In tho light of nil this why, in the name ol reason aud charity, is ho before tho church on trial time alter time, and the world made to think that he is little better than an infidel, and that the Christian faith is only a war of words! Isn't it to bo expected that a man '.villi his gifts aud opportunities and application in the realms of liolarly and histoiie investigation concerning the Bible and the sacred learning of the past, will have some ways of looking at things and some explanations of things which men of little or no learning whatever in these subjects, will not have! And of the five or six hundred who compose the jury that is sitting in tho Judgment on his work how many of tlicm are lualiflcd by education, training and attainments in the field of criticism to render an intelligent verdict? Not one in a scoro is ablo of! hand to go into these |uestions of tho Higher Criticism and determine whether he is right or wrong in his results. If he were not a good man, or were making false tcaciiers of religion, or wore denying the Lord who bought us, then it would not requiro scholars to pronounce upon his work but since this is not the caso, and is not. claimed to bo tho ease by any, it is a grevious mistake, and to my mind a wicltcilnoss to creato and carry on such an agitation about his work as threatens disruption and causes iuovitablo loss that years will not overcome.

IJ. Iu .tlie sccond placc, the evil and

Ignorance and prejudice have beon the cluof obstacles in the road of religious progress. Not a few of you whs are listening to mo,ministers and oldcrs,havo been in several engagements of this great conflict toi religious freedom. We aro in another now. The minds of men are still in bonds ol other men. It makes no matter how long ago sinco they died, two hundred or three hundred years nor how they forged out their own opinions in their day, wrote their own creed, wo mustnot think to wriltoho for ourselves, hardly dare ofTer change a few liuos of what they wrote and adopted, arid adopted by a strict party vote, and by a small majority often, without our being accused of disloyalty to tho church of Christ, suspected of villainy. The glory of Protestantism is its being a synonym of individual liberty of religious boliof, and uttoranco and lifo.

They burned the hand of lluss. the llohemiuii, but his pen was taken up by one and another and unotlier who havo wielded It In turn to tills day, but hardly over escaping efforts of the powers that be to wrest It from the writer's grasp. The battle which was begun with Huss when ho began to unchain the word of God which had been shut up and forgotten and lost in tho moss-grown monasteries of Europe has not been fought out to a finish yet. There has not been a generation slnco in which men striving to get to free air, ampler air, and to causo new light to break forth from the word of God,havo not been thrust, out of the fold. O, It Is a strange, sad thing. What has been tho fruit of heresy trials In the Presbyterian ehuroli?

Lyman Beoeher was not tit to preach In the Presbyterian church. Thero Is not a greater name In tho annals of the American pulpit unless It bo that of his greater son and tho Pits byterlan churoli wolild not huve permitted him to grow to his hight within it,s courU.

Albert Hurtles suspended from thomlnlHtry! Think of It! "That diseiplo whom Jesus ••loved," was ho. In his day. In tho eyes of the organization known as tho Presbyterian church not worthy to he a teacher mid guide ol men's souls. What, a triumph It was when

trouble of It all are greatly exaggerated in casta by votes of men who know nothing of the public mind. Herein is the larger part the merits of the ruul questions at Issue, and of the evil of this caso, that it gets tho \,lro Proud that \\K.y 1° not kuow anything of

scent of a scandal though it should not, aud spreads and grows and is accorded infinitely more attention than it deserves. For more than a year it has been absorbing public attention and ono would think, reading the religious papers, that this was the greater part of the work being dono in tho Presbyterian church during the past year, attacking and defending Briggism. Not so, as the reports of tho work of tho church abundantly show. The contributions to the great cause of Foreign Miss'.ons have been larger than over bofore. Tho church has crossed tho million dollar line for the first tirao.

I wish that this might bo published far aud wide that tho world may know that othor tilings arc absorbing tho cnei gy and interest of tho body of tho church not less than before.

III. Thore is another view of this doctrinal agitation which 1 wish to hold up bofore you, namely this: that it is the condition of progress. Is there no progress of religious truth and doctrine! Who doubts that thore is yet more light to break forth from the Bible! I need not tell any one hero that a good many things have been found out about the Bible since tho Westminster Assembly sat.

These throe hundred years last past, have yielded more Bible truth andliloto the soul of man than anj similar Jorgth of time since tho ascension of Constantino, immeasurable moro. No ono doubts that rich discoveries are yet to bo made. The ho'y scriptures are an inexhaustible mine of religious wealth. The discoveries of science havo beon changing, not the scriptures, but the interpretation of them from generation to generation. Those who have been deciphering the mouuments of Egyptian civilization have been illuminating the ancient scriptures. Those who have boon digging among the ruins of Assyria havo added to our knowledge of the bible. The study ot the scriptures as literature, or tho Higher Criticism, as it is called, has shown as nothing else could how impregnablo is tho rock of holy scripture. Ancient manuscripts have been brought out of old monasteries. Stones engraven that havo lain for centuries under the sands and ruins of temples havo boon resurrected by antiquaries, restored and translated. The ancient languages ot tho Orient are yielding up still thoir meanings. This lamp let down from heaven is shining brighter and brighter on our human pathway for ali that is being learned from tho books of nature and of history.

It was a glorious day when tho young monk nailed his theses to tho church doors. It is tho great moments that count in the history of the church or in the lives of men. That was ono of thorn. The blood of freedom-loving men started in thenveins when mans' individuality and independence in the search for truth came" to such assertion as that on tho doors ol tho Wettonburgh church at midday when the city was thronged with pilgrim worshippers. But the Luther of to-day as he of old time, is apt to wako tho lion with his piercing pen and set him roaring. Tho elector in his dream, which was not all a dream saw tho powers trying to break Luther's pen and givo up tho trial. He asked the monk where he found so atrong a pen and was told that it belonged to a Bohemian goose a hundred years old, that he, Luther, had it from bis old school masters, and that it was so strong because no ono could take the pith out of it.

Prof. Swing was finally out of the Preshytorliui church 1 Is ho not respected for his characters' sake and for his works' sake by leading Presbvterlnn mlnisiers In Chicago, this same Prof. Swing?

Yet., what hus tho church lejrned rrom the unfortunate and shameful hit-lory it 1ms made 111 its heresy trials from tho first? Has it learned to ho careful lest it lie condemning today tliose whom It would gladly honcn tomorrow? lias it learned to practicel lial lilier-' ty of thought aud e^pressiou which is due? lias It learned I leully value, extend and do.

feud those principles of Individual freedom and Independence ill this universe of truth, which Rave protestantism its birth and Is the chief reason for Its being? If the church has I not learned to tolerate men of variant views If It lias not learnod that, there are new views which have as much right lo a place as those thai, now are old when they were new If we have not learned that voles are of little ami' often or no account In determining of truth, and are going to make men heretics und out-

them, since It would he handling pitch to read and study such thiui's, that pitch from the lowest pit. If ministers are to tie held to the system of doctrine formulated by an age of less light und of ixirsecutlon and battle, which system of doctrine, rings In every line of It with controversy whose merits we do not understand und care nothing for except as matters of history tf men are to be ejected from their pulpits and their professors' chairs lor not squaring their eveiy word and opinion with that etl'ete system, then, all our boasts that- wo have' reached a stage of enlightenment are vain. We are not inuoh,bcttor than the persecutors th.it wo think wore monsters of narrowness aud bigoted prejudice. The battle Is still on, the buttle for ludlvMuul right of free speech In the pulpit and in the teacher's chair. It will go on tlll there Is absolute freedom that is to say, till tho door of utteranco Is as wide us thedoor of heaven. What Justification can thore be for a teat of orthodoxy which all conscntls not applied at the Kate of entrance Into heaven? If one's teaching und work will not shut ono out from outrance and recognition In the church above what possible reason, that men will respect, can exist for applying hero ono which condemns one's woik us damnable heresy?

Hut thero hus Itecn a change In the Judgments of men as to this mutter whether the Assembly shows It or not-. And, I think the Assembly does show it. There Is a new spirit abroad to-dav In religious teaching and believing that not all the power of Confession, bound assemblies can quijnch or even smother.

Inqulr-ng und progressive minds will Judge of-Prof. Brlpgs' work for themselves, lndependunt students will prefer lilni to those who are anchored to the changeless past The veiy faults of htm will uttruct. There is a good deal or the blame of this whole proceeding.

If those who eomimse this Assembly could content themselves with putting themselves on record as uguinst his teaching In those respects 111 which they are wrong 111 their sight aud dismiss the case, that would be enough. What will nwrc do? Not a conviction nor an expression of a single puipltof the church will be changed by that action whatever It may be. No man is going to take Ids keynote, no honest man Is, no brave mull, from tho Assembly, In this mutter of belief und expression unless he belongs heart und soul to the side which uetcd In the net Ion passed.

A TEAG10 DEATH.

Frank Booze Killed Accidentally Hear Covington This Morning.

A tologrsim was rpoeived in Crawfordsville this morning which announced the death of Frank Booze, which ocourrcd in an accident noar Covington tire morning. Tho message caused profound sensation here and was received with tho greatest sorrow by those who had known Mr. Booze during his residence in this city. The details of the accidont are about ns follows. Mr. Booze went to Covington last night and was in charge of a force of men employed on the Big Four road a short distance west of the town. This morning he boarded the work train at Covington and started for the scene of operations on the road. He and his brother Levi did some work on the pilo driver bb the train started and having finished it Frank sat down on the observation with his face opposite to the direction in which the train was then moving quite rapidly. He either forgot about the covered bridge or else thought that he could pass under it in safety. At any rate when the car on whioh he was seated shot onto the structure he was carried with terrific force against one of the heavy cross beams. The baok of hiB bead struck and he was thrown forward on top of the car. His brother Levi caught him bnt he lived but a few minutes, never rallying from the terrible blow. The remains were taken back to Covington where the coroner's inquest was held and preparation made for the body's shipment to this oity. It was brought here on tho afternoon train attended by Levi Booze and others. The funeral will occur Monday afternoon at half past two o'clock.

Frank Booze was 37 years old and was a native of Pennsylvania. He came here in 1882 and has been the chief of tho painting force on the Big Fonr. About four years ago he was married to Miss Anna Bnrbridgo, who with one daughter sur/ivos to mmirn

liiii

loss.

Mr. Boozo was an extremely popular and pleasant man. lie* was possessed of many admirable qualities and luid the honor aud respect of all who knew him. To his bereaved relatives a large circle of friends extends its sincere sympathy.

Runaway.

Ed Keezee and Miss Lucy Brilton were out driving last evening and when near tho residence of W. H. Durham the horse took fright at a cow bell and ran off. Miss Lucy was thrown out and dragged on her oar for some diptance lacerating that member in a horrible manner. She was also badly sprained and bruised.
