THEORY AND PRAcTICE.-We are
sorry to be obliged to chronicle an act that dis
plays so much bigotry, as we compelled to do
in connection with the funeral of p E. Chamber
lain, on Sunday last; but we believe it duty to
show up any man who will advise professors not
to associate with professors, and then refuse
to give place to funeral. s -. -
We are informed that the friends of the deceased
asked the trustees of the Presbyterian church for
the use of their church for the funeral service
which was cordially granted; but the Rev % Mr.
Avery had an appointment to preach at about the
same hour, and absolutely. refused to give way
and the funeral had to be held in the NJ E. Church.
which was great deal too small to hold the con-
gregation. Now we would ask in Gods name, if
this Avery can consistently quote the golden rule
to his hear rs after this exhibition of Brotherly
love. Such man is disgrace to humanity.
