Before the Presbyterian I nion there wore three reinarka-' j hie anldrci?os, by throe men who are representatives of the three contending views that are now stii ring the Northern Presbyterian church from center to circmnfer; once. i One address wns by Rev. Dr. John Do Witt, of Princeton Theological Seminary, on "The established standards of the Presbyterian church should, in this crisis, bo reallirmed and left unchanged." Another was by Rev. Dr. (Joorge R. Stewart, of Auburn Theological Seminary,on "Entirely new stan l ards of b lief r.rc demanded til the present, time."' The subject of the third addrtss was, "While it would be inadvisable to discard the established standards of the Presbyterian church, the time has come when they should be underui/.ed in form and modified in certain statements." This was the opening of what ; will be the greatest theological struggle that America has t\er seen.
