Show l'ROI EoiOR Swing has been acnuit-tcd acnuit-tcd of the charge of heresy, brought against him before tho 1'resbytery of (.'hieago by Professor lAiUou; and the latter has fulfilled hh threat of impeaching im-peaching the Presbytery before the Synod of Northern Illinois. Should he be defeated there, and it be found that modern Prcsbyterianim is different dif-ferent from the old, orthodox kind, under which Calvin burned Servetus, and John Knox launched liis anathemas anathe-mas against the minions of Mary, tueen of Scots, there would be nothing noth-ing left for Patton but to commit religious hn.ri-kari. No matter how the trial finally results, it can scarcely scarce-ly fail of making a serious schism in the Presbyterian church in the United States, and may possibly extend bg-yond bg-yond the bounds of this hemisphere. |
