MEDICAL CARD.
d
DR. WOODROW.
FINAL ACTION IN HIS CASE.,
For the benefit of such of our
readers as have not kept informed
mreference to the trouble between
Dr. James Woodtow and the Pres
byterian chinch, we give a brief syu
opsis of the origin and history of the
case. We do this because it will
beeome historical, and is by far the
most important question that has
come before the church in this coun
tiy within a century. Dr. Woodrow
occupied a chair cf science m Co¬
lumbia College, a Presbyterian insti¬
tution located at Columbia, S* C.
He (Woodrow) is probably the
most scholarly minister of the Pres¬
byterian church in America, ancl was
authoritatively requested to deliver
a lc cture in Columbia College, giving
his views on the hypothesis of evo
lutiou. aid its bearings upon the
scriptures. In compliance, he deliv¬
ered a masterly lecture fayoripg the
probable li nth of the theory, and
showing that it was not in conflict
with the scriptures. Our receolioo
tion is, that tno lecture met with the
approval of the authorities having
immediate control of the College,
but dissatisfaction sprpg up in oth
quarters. The subject was
brought up iu several synods, or as¬
semblages of the Presbyterian church
and decided adversely t« Dr. Wood
row, by whom the case was carried
by appeal to the Presbyterian as¬
sembly at Baltimore, wnicli met in
May last. In the resolutions passed
by the Assembly, the following lan¬
guage occurs i
“It is the judgement of the general
assembly that Adam’s body was di¬
rectly fashioned by Almighty God
out ol the dust of the ground with¬
out any natural animal parentage of
any kind. The wisdom of God
prompted him to reveal the fact,
while the inscrutable mode of His
action he has not revealed. While,
therefore, touc]i the church does not pro¬
pose to or conclude any ques
lion of science which belongs she to
God’s kingdom oi mature, must
see that these questions arc not
thrust upon her to break the si.ence
of the scriptures and supplement
them by any scientific God’s hypoihsis con
cerning the mode of oemg or
acts, which are inscrutable to us.
While the assembly disdains the
intention of concluding questions of
science, it does in fact attempt-to
settle and conclude the greatest
scientific question of the day. What
else does this language mean? “It
is the judgement of this general as
se mbly, that Adam’s body was direct-.
ly fashioned by Almighty God out of
tne dust of the ground without any
natural animal parentage of any
sin<3.” If the judgement ol tbe
general assembly is correct, the the¬
ory of eyolution is false, and by the
judgement they* indirectly declare
ii false. The assembly could have
gone no further. The church cannot
eettle questions of science and should
not meddle with them. !t shou a
remembez that its rulings on scienu
fic questions have always been wrong.
Once upon a time the church
unfctook to settle tbe q»es,
tion of the science ot astronomy. It
had gi eater power then than now.
and compelled the old gray haired
astronomer, Galileo, to get down on
his knees and swear that
ings were false. They were nevei

truth to day, by all enlightened peos
ple in every quarter of the globe.

from the memory of man; the re¬

cruelty, alone remains. So it will
be with Dr. Woodrow ami his corse'

will bo universally accepted, it is ac¬

scholar in the world. There is no
minister now Hying on this side of

is so ivell assured, as that ol James

will be remembered as a martyr to

when his peisc-cutors have sunk into

Strange Career of W. H. King, Who
was a Citizen of Carnesville •
many years ago.
From the Atheus B anner.
We had the pleasure yesterday
evening of meeting Mv. W Hiving,
who lived iu Athens twentysix yeais
ago, and is known to a great many
of our older e'tizens.
Mr. King gave us a history of his
b'fe, which reads like a romance. He
lived ;, v Athens in 1861, and from
here he went to Carnesville, 4, i
Franklin county. Find tig this a
pV'sant little village, lie rema ned
some time there. Mr. King had
acquired a taste for the stage, and
after leaving Carnesville he wen
back to England, and brought out a
splendid English stock company.
He landed in New York, and by
that time the war had bioken out,
a id Mr. King slatted to bring his
company to the South. He came to
oifolk, and on account of his be¬
ing a Southern sympathizer, was
refused permission to go through
;be lines. He then went back to
Baltimore, and was intimate With
John T Ford, who is know a for
owning the Theater where Presi
dent Lincoln was killed. A
espoinage was kept on Mr. King’s
movements by detectives, and find¬
ing that he was bound to be arrests d
le concluded to make his way to
Richmond, but before he cou’-d cross
the Fatomac he was arrested and
put under bond*.
Mr. King went back to Baltimore,
where he again appeared before the
foot lights with some of the best
companies then playing. Mr. King
carried the first theatrical company
over the Union Pacific mUoad and
played to a good business iu all the
wild towns of the Ppcific.
‘TIow came yon to git back to
Athens?” tho reporter inquired.
It is certainly one of the things
hat providence ha» something to
with. 1 was up in Pennsylvania
and a desire came over me to come
back to Athens and sec the old

my people in England for a num

who is very old, was dead.
here comes the proyidential
jart of my story. My mother wrote
the post-master at Baltimore raak
ing inquiries about me, and stated in
ler/ettei that I had once lived in
Athens, Ga. The post master know¬
ing that a sister of Mrs. C. D. Flan*
igin, who was then living in Balti¬
more, had come from Athens, ac
cordingly communicated wilh her.
