Ritualist controversy and church funding debates unfold
Articles report on Ritualist prosecutions in Manchester and Connemara riots, clergy reforms in Leeds, and Easter vestry clashes. The pieces highlight church funding, disestablishment debates, and lay control over church governance, with heavy emphasis on clergy conduct and parishioner actions.
Trial of Dr De Witt Talmage at Brooklyn Presbytery
The report of a committee examining Dr De Witt Talmage cites no doctrinal heresy but faults his methods as out of harmony with church practice. It lists charges from deceit in 1876 to falsehood about church finances and duties and notes a trial fixed for March 24. Moody resides in Baltimore for the winter to place his children in school.
