the judicial decision of, IV 4 by the
invitation to Mr. Kosillek to preach
for the l-'irst Church until March L
1H25, and his acceptance of und
entering Into such an arrangement
cannot but meet with a widespread
and Indignant protest and Increas- '
es the disquietude in the - Prosby-j
terlan Church. j
6. The Presbytery of New York;
by sanctioning the arrnngc-meni
between Jr. l-'osdtck and the First'
Presbyterian Church of New York
has sanction an unethical arrange-j
ment by continuing a preacher of
another denomination In a Pres
byterian pulpit who by repealed
and studied utterances has created
the Impression that he hohls light-!
ly, 'if at all, the great facts and!
doctrines of the New Testament ;
which the church has throughout'
her history confessed und embodi
ed in her creeds. !
7. We believe that the action of;
the Presbytery of New York In!
sanctioning the continuance of Dr.!
Kosdick In a Presbyterian pulpit ,
when he refuses to accept our doc
trinal standards and assails the es-
sentlals of ull evangelical faith as
embodied in creeds is highly Injur-i
ions to the best interest of religion
and minimizes the historis witnes-J
sing of the Presbyterian church to
the evangelical doctirnes o Chris-i
tkinity.
8. The Presbytery of New York 1 1
errs In sanctioning the continuance
of Dr. 1'osdlek in the First Prosby-!j
terian Church of New York In thatjj
It engenders and fosters a "delib
erate and long-continued disloyal
ty to the doctrinal standards" of
our church und a "persistent dis
obedience to the mandates of the
general assembly."
The Presbytery of New York
errs in sanctioning the continuance
of Dr. Fosdick in the pulpit of the
First Presbyterian Church of New
York In that It considers Its own
independent will and pleasure In
opposition to the whole church.
10. The Presbytery of New York
errs In sanctioning the arrange
ment between Dr. Fosdlck and the
First Presbyterian Church of New
York by countenancing the disre
gard for moral obligation laid up
on Dr. Fosdlck and the First Pres
byterian Church of New York
when the assembly declared that
"he (Dr. Fosdlck), ought not to
continue to occupy a Presbyterian
pulpit."

A tank of this type to perform
