Agnosco

"Do you," asked Dr. Walter D. Buchanan, "believe in the Virgin Birth?"

To this question Carlos Fuller, young graduate of Union Theological Seminary, replied that while he did not deny the well-known dogma, he could not assert his belief in it.

Mr. Fuller, a Baptist, was seeking appointment to a Presbyterian pulpit in New York. He was standing before an official conclave of the Presbytery. Dr. Tertius Van Dyke, liberal son of liberal Dr. Henry, endeavored to cut short the harrowing discussion, but in vain. A resolution that "owing to the confusion in the reports of the Committee on Candidates, the examination of Dr. Fuller will be referred back to the Committee on Candidates" was adopted.

Nothing of the kind has been done in many years.
