At 3 o'clock occurred the foreign missionary conference, an occasion of much interest. Rev. H. G. Rice read a paper on "The Crawfordsville Presbytery on the Foreign Mission Fields," which was so excellent that the Presbytery deemed it wise to have it pub lished. Gtis Sonna, of Wabash, spoke on "The Student Volunteer Move inent—Its Call for Greater Liberality on the Part of the Churches." Being one of the volunteers himself Mr. Sonne spoke to the point with great force. "Relative Progress of the Church and Home and Abroad," was the topic of Rev. Fred Rosebro, and there was a discussion led by Rev. II. M. Rogers.

Tuesday evening the retiring moderator, Rev. D. B. Banta, of Lebanon, preached an able sermon.

The morning session of the Presbytery was opened with devotional exercises by Rev. Cyrus Price, of Romney.

After the minutes were read Dr. G. W. Burroughs, father of President Burroughs, was received -as a corresponding member of the Presbytery. Rev. John A. Collett, of Indianapolis, and Rev. A. A. Pfanstiehl were received as regular members. Arrangements were made for the installation of Mr. Pfanstiehl as pastor of the First Presbyterian church at Lafayette on the first Sunday in May. His salary is S3.000.

The following candidates for the ministry were taken under the care of the Presbytery: Herbert Thomson, Harry Mount, N. C. McCay and Elmer Shaver, of this city, and S. T. Graham, of Belfast, Ireland, more recently of Portland, Oregon. Mr. Graham is in Wabash College. Messrs. Shaver and McCay are specials, that is they do not want to take a full seminary course.

An adjournment was taken at 11 o'clock to visit Wabash College. This afternoon after the devotional exercises Revs. Jacbob B. Schultz and John G. Hofacre were received into membership from the Indianapolis presbytery and introduced. The report of the committee on freedmen was read by Rev. Hale and approved.

Revs. Rice, Coutz.Hook and -Mowers were nominated for delegates to the General Assembly, and Rice, of Delphi, and Coutz, of Montezuma, were elected. Revs. Hook and Mowers were made alternates.

HOME WEDDING.

Mr. lien Wilhite and Miss ltclle Harlan Happily Married Wednesday Kvening.

Wednesday at the home of the bride's parents on south Walnut street, Mr. Ben W. Wilhite and Miss Belle Harlan were united in the bonds of matrimony, Rev. W. J. Howe official ing. The wedding was a very quiet one, and only the immediate relatives of the contracting parties were present. The bride, a decidedly. pretty young lady, was attiredoin a costume of gray silk trimmed with lavender The ceremony was that of the Christian church. After its conclusion dainty collation was served and the bride and groom were driven to their future home at 705 Binford street, an elegant little place purchased and fitted up by the groom preparatory to the happy event of the evening. They will be at home there to their friends from this on. This evening they will tender a reception to their relatives. Both young people have the best wishes of hosts of friends in their happy union. Mrs. Wilhite is a most excellent young lady, endowed with excellent traits which fit her to be a perfect wife. Mr. Wilhite is one of the most energetic and popular young men of the city and deserves the young lady whom he won as his wife. The presents received by Mr. and Mrs. Wilhite were both numerous and handsome and presented quite an attractive display.

lUookshire vs. Lamb.

Indianapolis News: Mr. Brookshire may not be an ideal Congressman, but he is enough better than John E. Lamb, who is trying to wrest the nomination from him. Whether any Democrat can be elected this fall from the Eighth district is somewhat doubtful, and if the Democrats are to be beaten, it may be as well for them to go down with Lamb for a candidate. But from any other point of view the nomination of this member of the Terre Haute ring would be most unfortunate. Lamb has been in Congress before, and his record was so unsatisfactory to his own constituents that they declined te return him, although the district was supposed to be safely Democratic. There may be a-chance for success with Brookshire, but hardly with Lamb.

We hope the Democratic voters of the Eighth district will stand firmly against the attempt to coerce them into the support of a man whose sole strength lies in the fact that he has been successful in finding places for men whom Brookshire has refused to recommend. This of itself does not seem enough to qualify a man for a seat in Congress. There are, besides, other things, which it would be well to bear ill mind. Whether justly or not, Lamb is supposed to have had something to do with helping the whisky trust in the Senate finance committee. He is known as an indefatigable and accomplished lobbyist, both at Washington and before the Indiana Legislature and he is getting altogether too prominent. He should not be thought of for a congressional nomination. If nominated he should be buried out of sight.

A Nosing Committee.

Capt. Smiley, S. A. Hays and J. V. Edwards, of Greencastle, are in the city investigating the assignment of Wr. II. Durham. They are examining witnesses and trying to find a thread by which they can recover some of the property deeded away by Mr. Durham in the last five years. Their efforts are in vain, however, as the transactions were all straight business..

A Cut on tlie Motion.

It is said the company intends to follow the example set by the Chicago it Eastern Illinois and Wabash Railroads, and cut the wages on the date named.

PROF GARVIN.

W a

Ii

a W

A I S is S a

Tin- I udiauapolis AYif* designates the Garvin case as "another llrijjgs case," saying:

The decision of the Christian preachrs at Crawfordsville to make public their action is the beginning probably of the public end of a discussion of what is already recognized in the Church of the Disciples as another •Rriggs case." The board of directors of Butler I'niversity has already considered the charges of heterodoxy made against Prof. Garvin, and has been met at the output with a lhitfooted defense from the Professor's friends that no one is justified in calling Mr. Garvin to account for his views if he can show Bible authority for them. "The opponents of Mr. Garvin are virtually setting up a creed when they say that lie does not believe as the fathers of the church did and that he ought, therefore, to resign from the Theological School." This is the defense of those who rest their case largely upon the fact thi»t the Christian church professes no creed except the Bible, and recognizes no church organization as authorized to dictate.

On the other hand those who criticise Professor Garvin say that while the church has no creed, yet there are certain things in which it believes and which give distinction to it as an organization, and that Mr. Garvin is not in sympathy with these.

While several otherthings have been alleged, the chief point of opposition to Prof. Garvin is that he places re pentance before faith, lie said on this subject that he did not wish to be hurried into a newspaper defense, but that the order in which he placed faith and repentance is the order he finds them in the scriptures, as shown by the following, among other texts:

Matt, xxi, 32: For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not but the publicans and the harlots believed him and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

Acts xx, 21: Testifying both to the Jews and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

Mark i, 15: And saying the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand, repent ye and believe the Gospel.

The students in Prof. Garvin's department are almost without exception firm adherents to his doctrine. They indorse the Professor, and some have even taken the field against his critics.

The directors of the university at a recent meeting had a full expression of opinion on the subject. A majority of the board seemed to think that a change in the department over which Mr. Garvin presided was called for by reason of the opposition that had developed on the part of the ministry of the church. A vigorous minority, however, maintained that Garvin could not be consistently attacked for advancing views for which he was able to show scripture, and that at any rate the matter of discussion was purely theological and involved no principle of right living or Christian character.

In an interview with the Indianapolis Journal Wednesday Prof. Garvin said he does not recognize the authority of the Crawfordsville meeting, and holds himself accountable only to the official board of the college in whose service he is engaged. The doctrines mentioned in the Crawfordsville resolutions, as far as regards Garvin's belief and teaching, are three-fourehs incorrect, he having never spoken or taught them.

The Trustees' View.

Thecitycounc.il is inclined to iavor a location for the new school building further east than the Willson building, but the trusees are opposed to this idea and want to build on the present site. It is in the, center of population in the third ward and in fact about the center geographically. When you come to study the map you find that it is only six or seven blocks from the Willson school to the Vandalia railroad, while it is seven or eight blocks to either the north or south corporation lines. To the north and.south the population is dense while to the cast it is very spare. If 'the school house be located farther east at all it will have to be beyond the Motion railroad, thus forcing three-fourths of the children to cross the railroad where only about one-fourth do now. The trustees have consulted the teachers at the Willson building and they favor the present location because they think it will be most convenient to a large majority of their children. The trustees further think that in the course of a few years another school house will be necessary in the east part of town which should be located probably near Main and Pine streets. They think it the best policy to build school houses of not more than eight rooms.

Views From lloii-lliir.

The Supreme Tribe of Ben-Hnr are laying foundations broad and deep for the growth of this substantial young order. Among other things there will be a series of over one hundred stereopticon views representing various scenes from the book upon which the Tribe is founded. Neal Watson, the ollicial artist of the Tribe, who also designed till the handsome lithographed stationery being used by the officers, is now at work on these views. Regaining at the first chapter of HenHur he rends and whenever it particularly fine description occurs he reproduces the iders of General Wallace in a handsome India in It drawing about IS by inches. If the first result is not satisfactory he carefully does it over again until a picture satisfactory to his artistic eye is before him. It is then photographed and reduced on glass ready for the stereopticon. Subordinate courts who desire these views are furnished with tlieru and they form an interesting and instructive feature of the work. Mr. Watson has finished about forty views up to date.

Dance Wediiemiuy Kvening. The select dance given Wednesday at the P. O. S. of A. hall was a verv pleasant and successful affair. There were about twenty-five couples present and the new music of the orchestra proved delightful inspiration. All present were highly pleased and the amusement was continued until quite a late hour.
