I ' j The House went into committee of the whole (Mr.; Turner, of Oeoreia, inthe chair) on the appropriation Mr. Blount, of Georiria. explained that the bill carried the appropriation Of $60,035,840 against an api)-ojpria- tion of 55,694,650 for the 'cur rent naical year. He deomed it neoess&ry to give . the csusi of this increase. The appropriation for the compensation of postmasters for 1888 iwas $11,7000,000. The Sixth -Auditor stated that the expenditures for this item in 1887 amounted to $11,929,481, or $229,481 more han the appropriation for 1888. AtUhe same time it appeared that while in 1888 the gross revenues increased at the rate of 3.26 per cent, in 187 they increased 14.06 per oent. Tre same large increase of receipts 'rasl ex pected to take place in 1888. I In the appropriation bill for 1S8& there was no large appropriation I for rent, ? light and fuel at tird class, officers. In the proposed bill (here was inserted - fof this purpose the sum of 4650,$07. Heretofore the postmadter of third class offices was compelled to ay.for these items from his salary.

There upon a motion was made and carried that a roll-call of townships be bad in order that the Democracy of Pitt might give expression ef its choice for Governor. The -result showed that Fowle was Pitt's choice for Gov ernor, only eleven out of the ninety seven delegates being in favor of any other man. : one-half or three-fifths of the county is for T. Q.

For some time after Dr. Woodrow began to speak he was interrupted by technical objections regarding the record of the case. He then took up the record and explained his views of the phenomenon of science as not in consistent with the Bible. He had no right to Bay that the Scriptures are contradicted by evolution. He insisted that the control of God is paramount, and to which all :must Bubmit, but beyond that they should submit to no control. He had Ieen charged with subordinating the scriptures to science. That wa not true. He bad hever written or spo ken a word which could bear any Buch construction. He never had taught a word that would throw doubt upon the head of Adam with out regard to the manner in which or of which God formod his body. He quoted from his writings regarding the elevation of higher from lower animal life. He had never said a word about apes and monkeys as had so of ten been asserted. He believed Adam to be a miraculous aftpnpng,e4sV" Bo'nett&ifft opinionas to the .formation of Adam's body. Upon any subject of which the Scriptures are silent he accepts natural history as his guide, but only on such subjects. As a church court the General Assembly had nothing to do with his view outside the teachings of the Bible. All it has to do is to discover if his teachings conflict with the Scriptures, and if they do not then the case nust end. The laws of oraritation inform us that iron in water will sink, and yet the Bible said in one place that "iron did swim. That instance did not make the law of gravitation inconsistent with the Scripture. He then quoted Scripture as to the formation of the sun, moon, and stars, and of the four corners of the earth. Did any one suppose the earth to be a rectangular' forma tion? It had been taught that the sun and moon move around the earth, but snienoe had done away with that idea, and if was no longer thoueht of. As to man, they were told that "out of the ground God formed every living thing"; and fur ther on it says Adam shall return to dust whence he came. The Serpent was oondemed to eat dust. ,W as that organic dust f Certain'y it was inor ganic matter. Waa any man prepared to sav that hia (Dr. Woodrow's) views are antagonistic to the Bible f He did not think there could be. He quoted from Paddington, Brown and others as to their views of the dust of which man was formed, meaning dust from which, through steps from one stage to another, man came to have dominion over all other living crea tures. He said he did not believe that be would be condemned for rejecting ideas which were held two hundred years ago, and which had no founda tion in fact. It was onoe believed that lunacy was controlled by the moon. Must he believe it now be cause it was believed then The Assembly of Westminster taught that the sun moves. It would be unreasonable to expect that he would believe it because Westminster taught it. It made no difference whether the formation of Adam's bodv was mediate or immediate. He was made a living soul, and God made the covenant with him. The Presbytery of Augusta could not find conviction against the speaker's be lief, for he had not antagonized the Bible. He had not taught that God had performed His works supernat nrallv. That will have to be deter mined by each individual mind. He believed that God formed man out of the dust of the ground, and yet he was charged with teaching contrary to the Bible and the standards be cause he went beyond and believed bevond what was not contained in them or upon which they are silent To sustain the Synod of Georgia would be to condemn all who believe there may be some truth in evolution. It was a fact that the church had never failed in deciding on science to decide a wrong Rev. Dr. Adams, of Augusta, the nmspcntor. then becran his arcrumen on the part 01 tne synoa 01 ueorgia. He said it mattered little what his motives were in prosecuting this case before the Presbytery of Augusta, as was spoken of by Dr. Woodrow yes terday. They had met face to face in the courts of the church and never hadJDr. Woodrow impugned the mo tives which prompted his prosecution. The speaker xi&s of the, committee to whom bad been referred the com- p'aint of heresy against Dr. Wood- j row. In the committee, in presby tery, and in the synod he had favored letting Dr. Woodrow atone to pursue his investigations and then to say how he believed Adam's body evolved. At that time he knew little of him, but supposed him to be a scientific man who worked out his own ideas and proclaimed his results. Now he didn't believe there was an idea in his address that was not obtained from someone else The Synod of Georgia ordered the Presbytery of Augusta to try him or acquit him of heresy and error. The speaker waa compelled to bring the case before the proper court- The complainant had declared that the sole object of the prosecutor was to remove him from his professorship in the college. ; That could not have been an indirect result- The chair was a very sore point with him. He held the chair when the churoh cried out against him. Dr. Adams de nounced the statement of Dr. Wood row that he was willing he should preach with his views, if he would surrender his professorship, as en tirely opposite of what he did say and called upon the assembly to judge between them. Dr. Adams continued. He said h had no purpose to serve in the re moval of Prof. Woodrow. He had no axe to grind; no friend whom1 he wished to have the place. When he was before the Synod of Georgia be said that, the advocate of these views must not be allowed to use them in a school of the church. Out of the school of the church he. had nothing to do with the viewB of Woodrow, but as a preacher he had no right to promulgate.such views while under the shadow of the church. He then called attention to the issues before the court. Woodrow was charged with advancing views contrary to the standards of the church. Phe Pres bytery sustained him and the Synod sustained the action of the Presbytery. The question to be determined is shall the Synod be sustained. Woodrow denied, and his riehds denied that be ever taught evolution in school, but whether he taught them or not was immaterial. In his address to the alumni ho taught it, and in his writing he, taught it; and before this General Assembly advo cated and taught it. Much he has said was not relevant tothe case, and there was no neerio deny it The complainant claims that in the Bible he finds nothing to contra dict the Cell theory, that is, that a few bodies were formed out of which all other things in the vegetable and ani mal life were formed. We take what he says j ast as he states it to be his belief, and no one attributes to him deism pr atheism. 'Evolutionists hold that, for a long time the fish was the highest type,then got the frog and the duoed a higher mammalian, he would not call it a monkey either, bat they cut off his nails, flattened his hands and shaved him. Then the divine miraculous intervention took place, and God put la soul into him, and he became Adam. That is the tneory 01 evolution. God did not interpose until all these changes had been passed. This is asserted because the Bible does not contradict it and be cause God's Word gives no testimony on the subject This is the theory ad vanced by Woodrow. lie believed that man was as a horse, born from an animal ancestry to another form, because' be said the Bible did not contradict it The church was con servator of I truth, and it is now asked to engraft upon itself this the ory. He would sacrifice everything to protect the Church from the. mis fortune. He had no doubt in reply to bis remarks, changes wiL. be run ning on the terms "maybe" and "probably are" which men used in advancing the theory of evolution, because tne Scriptures are Bilent on the matter.; He wanted to bring order out of confusion, so that the Church will return to its concord, and this matter be driven out forever. They were not to determine whether evolution is true or false; they were to determine on the creation of the body of Adam as understood by the standards of the Church. He says he goes to the works of God to find any thing about the body of Adam, and his belief is not baaed on the YV ora of God if the Church has put upon it the construction he is bound to ac cept the construction, and conform his teachings to that construction.
