NEW YORK, Oct. 26—And now it is the Reformed Presbyterian church that is called upon to grapple with alleged cases of heresy on the part of expounders on that creed. The New York Presbytery met in regular fall meeting in the Fourth Reformed Presbyterian church on West 45th street this morning. The most important matter which is on the record for consideration is the joint charge of heresy brought against Rev. Dr. J. C. K. Milligan, of this city, and Rev. John F. Carson, pastor of the Willoughby avenue Reformed Presbyterian church, of Brooklyn.
At the meeting of the Presbytery held in May charges were preferred against Dr. Milligan for utterances declared to be antagonistic to the principles of the church. Dr. Carson expresses the opinion that a large majority of his present congregation will secede from the denomination before many weeks. They will probably form a new Presbyterian church.
