Matter for Higher Assembly,

As neither Professor Angue nor his substitute, Mr. Edwards, accepts the doctrine of the Trinity in the orthodox sense, this motion might have had the effect of compelling the Assembly to consider the whole question of Professor Angue and his teaching once more. But, perhaps fortunately, the Moderator ruled that the State Assembly is not compeent to reach such a decision; and accordingly the motion was "held over, to be submitted to the General of the Presbyterian Church of Australia later on.^ But Mr. McGowan has left no doubt about his convictions and intentions in the matter. He stated later in the week that out of consideraion for Dr. Angue, who is still prostrated by illness, he had not intended to reopen the controversy; if he had meant to do so other and quite different steps would have been taken. But he is firmly resolved that no one shall have any excuse for imagining that such doctrines as Dr. Angus and Mr. Edwards profess "have won an established place in our" Church." ■
