II HERESY TRIALS,

Dr. Bolie of New York Finds Food for a Sermon Thinks Brings the Right Man in theWrong Place AND JUDGED IN ERROR. Believes Such Trials Are an Aid to Infidelity By Driving Away Public Sentiment from the Church.

New niiK, June 4. Dr. Kdwin C. Polla preached today on the Rrigga trial to a large congregation at the Church of the Eternal Hope. The eubject of the pastor's discourse wa.s "How Heresy Trials Appear to a Liberal." He began by stating that he did not propose to abuse the Presbyterian church, for their action was logical and from their point of view right. "lue teeth of persecution have been drawn by time ; in olden days PJr. Hrigga might hava sjen tha way to tho tcatl'old or the prison."

It must be vigorous, that tha world may know that there are views of (iod and of reiuiou und human duty and destintty where faith is grounded on reason, and where the lesson of God's eternal love is the begiuuiug and sud of a church creed. Ir. Holle, when seen after the service, was enthusiastic on tho pubject. "I have been a close Htudent oi this struggle," he said, "ever eince LUiott 1'. Mjepard wrote that bitter attack calling upon the presbytery to expel lr. l?rizi;s and abjuring people not to tend their eon to Cniou eemiuary. Ir. Lriggs was defeated by a number of country bigots who have learned nothing of the advance of theology during tho last quarter of a century. "Why. I assure you, sir, that tho leading presbyteriau clergy of this city are anxious to receive unitarians or uni verbalists or any other people of respectability into their churched. According to the presbyterian notion of the infallibitr of tho entire bible they would revere as saints a lot of men who could not be classed even with the men of Tammany hall and Wall-st. "Who cares whether when a man died, he is at once made as good as possible in the next world, or oniy attains perfection by degrees, as Dr. Briggs teaches? These questions are only fit for tho middle ares. I can tell you, sir, that the great masses of the thoughtful people of this country are with Dr. I'riggs. Let those bigots who are 90 fond of holding out examples of divine judgments ponder awhile over what has happened tjince the lirst tirade was published azainet the doctornot that 1 believe such nonsense, but they can profitably take a lesson from their own dogmas." RENOUNCES PRESBYTER I AN I SM. The Itev. Mr. lob'a Action the Uesult of the 'ir,Kff lr-iluu. Ahiaxy, Y., Juno 1. The Key. James L Kcob of the Second Presbyterian church of this city in his morning sermon today renounced his allegiance to the presbyterian denomination because of the decision of the general assembly in the ilriges case. Dr. Kcob's church is one of the most influential in the city, and his congregation is made up of the most Intel lectual men in the city. After reviewing the action of the general assembly and arraigning it for its bigotry, he paid : "1 leave the presbyterian church because it has taken on a garment that has lain buried in the grave for more than two centuries. It smells of the earth and of death." He then, with a dramatic gesture, esld: "I brush it ofr forever." lie pave his reasons for leaving, saying that he considered that a further battling of the questions would he but a KUerilla warfare with but little hope for successful minor ity. He characterized the general assembly aa the "most intolerant, biooted and reactionary body of all religious denominations." He advised that the liberal element in the presbyterian church unite with the coozreitationaliatfl. the Cumberland crss-

UhZ

form the great "free church of America." At the close of his service Dr. Kcob was surrounded by his congregation, the great majority of whom expressed sympathy with hia views. Dr. Ecob is an eloquent divine, and has been pastor of the Second presbyterian church for twelve years. It is probable that tho church will support his action, and leave the denomination with him. BISHOP JOYCE'S ACTION. He Stopped with n Colored Brother anil It Causes n Sensation. Ci.EVEi.Air I), Tenn., June 4. Thn action of Bishop I. W. Joyce of the n.ethodist episcopal church north, presiding over the Holsten method ist conference of East Tennessee, in accepting the hospitality of, and permitting himself to be entertained bv Elder Brooks (colored) of the African methodist episcopal zion church of Cleveland laet week has brought about the biggest church sensation this town or East Tennesseu ever knew. Bishop Joyce is well-known ail over the South as a remarkable man in point of intelligence and a man of . reat personal magnetism. Recently on his return from Chattanooga from a, ehort trip in provisional towua several young girls and young men, members of the Chattanooga Epworth league of the stone church, the lending northern methodist church of that city, met him at the train in carriages that were profusely and beautifully decorated for his reception with bright colored ribbons, and as he advanced from the train to hia equipage, the maidens scattered roses and other fragrant llowers before his feet. Not more than a fortnight afterward the bishop was entertained in this town by a brother of the colored northern methoditt church. It would be impossible for a person who has always lived in the north and who does not understand the sentiment of the southerners in such matters to comprehend what a sensation this action on the part of the biahop has canoed. The action was premeditated. The biahop wrote the pastor of the church, the Kev. Mr. Anderson, that he wa coming anil that he would stay over night with him. He was accordingly met at the train by a delegation cf colored citizens, and escorted to tho homo of Elder .Brooke, who lives in a pretty Iittlo cottce eituated in the heart of the ncro eett ici.-ien t on the outskirts of the village. Thero the biahop found tho house as clean end white ns woap and water and hard work could make it. Tho good brother in black had killed the tatest chicken. But if the negroes are delighted, the white people are anything hut that. Several members oi hid own denomination here ewear to never touch his hand again. Oilier Opinion of tho l'rij;;- TYhil. Ni.w Yokk, June 1. Tha l!ov. Dr. Milltrd preached tonight r.t the Washington bquare methodist episcopal church on the recent suspension of Dr. Brings. Hesuid: 'Ihurdoy, Juno 1, I!', wilt long remain a marked day in tha anna's of American pretthyteriun.Bm. On thfit day Dr. Charles A. ilrii;-Ts was suspended from the ftlise of minister in the rcshytt-risu church.

Beirring to the trial of Dr. Britrgs tho I lev. Mr. I'avie of the Fourth-ave. presbyterian church said this morning that in times not very re:r.oto armiun would have been needed to st-ttle that which the general assembly had done peacefully and decorously. He considered it a sign of progress. ARE FOR RECIPROCITY. The Second International Convention Meets at M. Paul. St. Pa it, June 5 At a little after 2 o'clock this afternoon in the auditorium tho second international reciprocity convention was ordered for the opening session.

After a brief welcome address bv Mayor F. P. Wright of St. Paul on behalf of tho city and citizens, the officers of the convention were selected and committees on credentials, order of business and resolutions appointed. WHERE IS M 'GLYNN? Humor that He In Doing Penance tn a Monastery. New York, June 5. Notwithstanding the many assertions that the Kev. Dr. Edward McCilynn has sailed for Bome in apocryphal steamers, it is known by his closest friends that he is in retreat in the Trappist monastery, near Lexington, Ky., and that he will stay there some time, probably till this summer, doing penance. Dr. Mclilynn, in many of hid Cooper union lectures, declared that he would never go to Borna, in sackcloth and ashes, and it is said that the retreat is in the nature of a compromise suggested by Mtrr. Satolli and agreed to by Mctilynn, after consultation with his friends. Atter the retreat he will have been purged and then he may go to Bome, not as a penitent seeking forgivenes, but as a priest with all his rights. Father Ducey says that the doctor has surely one to Bome, but he does not mention day or date, the name of the steamer he embarked in, or the port he sailed from. lor Tired llrnili ISE HORSKORIl'rl ACIO ritOhPIIATE.
