CHARGE OF HETERODOXY.
I REV. OIBSON SMITH'S BOOK. ; [United Press Association.] ' 1 DUNKDIN, Tuesday. At » meeting of th» Presbytery t1)---dnv the book. "Christ of the Cross" I formed the subject of another Jebale. | The Rev. D. .Mui'Lennan .uoved the I following overture' — "Whereas a book has been published by the Rev. C.'bjon Smith, called 'The Christ of the Cross,' which bears prima facie evidence of being strongly opposed to the doctrine v ( of the Church, particularly that of the Atonement, and is consequently of most unsettling tendency to many in our church, the Presbytery of Dunedin humbly pray the General Assembly to • ninct at Dunedin in November to take f these premises into their consideration, I and do in regard to the whole matter as 1 in their wisdom may seem the best for the crood of the church and the upholdine of the evangelical faith." The Moderator ruled that the overture was incompetent, and should be re- ' fiisod. as it did not contain some proDc.snl for the consideration of the Gene. ' ml Assembly, but this decision was re--1 versed. 1 • Aftor some further discussion it was • i resolved, by the i-asting vote of the • , Moderator, "That the overture be rul- [ ' ed as incompetent on the ground that ' it contained a charge."
