The measure adopted to secure this
end was the removal of Dr. Woodrow
rora tlie professor's chair.
The'ground that Dr. Woodrow now
akes is that this action , implied that
ie was guilty of hereny. This, how
ever, it is said, does not necessarily
ollow. for the book of church order
draws a distinction between heresy
and error, and by many leading cler-
gymen it is maintained that Dr.
Wood row's offense does not amount
to heresy,5 but is simply error in his
interpretation of the Scriptures upon

his teaching to be error, however,

should not be continued in the Sem

Whether it was error or heresy is
he question to be tried, and the subj
ect before the committee for investi
gation. Hie intelligence, prudence
and Christian character of the com
mittee give assurauce that the most
ample justice will be done both Dr.
Woodrow and the Synods. They have
this predicament to contend with. If
.
they sustain Dr. Woodrow they con
demn the action of the Synods.
Jn declaring Dr. Woodrow a here-
ic they have his reputation, intelli
gence, learning and Christian charac
ter to bear iu mind. The committee
will enter upon the work at once and
will strive to arrive at a just conclu
sion.

Kissing Pets. The habit of kiss

quently the cause of epidemics that
destroy whole families. It is a filthy
habit at best, but if mothers will un
derstand that the pet cat' or poodle

Demands a Trial by the Presbytery.
The delegates from this city to the
meeting of the Augusta Presbytery at
Union Point returned yesterday. A
full attendance of thj 'churches- was
had. Rev. Donald McQueen, of Mill
edgeville, was moderator, and Rev. J.
B. Morton, of Sparta, clerk of the
Presbytery. The usual statistical re
ports from the different churches were
read, and gratify accounts of progress
aud growth came from nearly every
one. The principal matter of business
before the'meeting was the considera
tion of a communication from Dr.
James Woodrow, late professor inthe
Columbia' Seminary i It was to the
effect that rumors in the public jour
nals and elsewhere were abroad charg
ing him with heresy.: That as this is
a grave offense in the ,Presbylerian
church, he asked his brethren of the
Presbytery to inquire into the matter
and if they found the rumors were
well founded toprepafechargesagaiust
him and try him tortlie offense.
The Presbytery having no discre
tion inthe matter but to take action
upon the communication as requested,
appointed a committee consisting of
Rev. H. M. Newtonj bf Union Point,
Rev. Wm. Adams, Rev. G. T. Goet
chius and Mr. James W. Wallace, of
Augusta, and Col. J. A. Billups, of
Madison, to examine into the rumors
complained of, and if they found that
they justified legal; proceedings, to re
port the same to. the j Presbytery.
This was the only action that could
be taken lyesterday and the status of
the case now seems tp be about this:
