A PREACHER TRIED FOR HEaEsY. The re.
port of the committee on DR.. Gilfs alleged
heresy, which was laid over on Monday and
made q special order for yesterday, was Of
sufficient interest to pack Trinity Methodist
Episcopal Church, Jersey City. where the
Newark Methodist Episcopal Conference Is
In session. Rev. DIR. SiHis said that COM
mittee OF nine had sgiFen the subject their
careful considerations and hnd >ascertained
that DR.. Gill was perfectly sound in his
personal faith, aud entirely orthodox
in his belief. The book on evolution
and progress was very obnoxious to the
committee, because 1t contained line of ar
gument not In consonance with the &C.
cepted theories Of the Church. Rev. Mr..
Gilbert asked whether DR.. Gill held to the
theory Of evolution, the exclusion Of crea-
ton DR.. Sims replied In The negative, aud
said that the book did not say so. After num-
Der OF ministers had made remarks on the SUBJ
iact, DR.. Gill took the fi)or and ayowed his
implied faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the
truth of the miracles, and other Of the theo.
logical tenets Of Methodism. He claimed
that there was nothing in his book not in ac-
ccrdance with the tenets Of the Methodist
Church, and said the brethren could reject
his book if they did lot like il. He pro-
posed to search after truth wherever 1t may
be found, whether the Conference believed it
| to be truth or not. He did not Think it was
within the province of the Conference TO
pass Judgment on what constitutes the truths
! of science. He hid written his book according
to new ideas, which have been evolved, and IN
his opinion the Evolutionists have the ad.
vantage over the Church philosophically.
| He thought old ideas should be laid aside
| when God furnished rev ones. He alluded
| to the pain be felt at being misunderstood
with considerable feeling, and said the fact
that he was misunderstood did not shake his
conviction that be was right. He thanked
God that be was a Methodist, and hoped
| that the eyes Of his brethren would be
opened.
Rev. Or. Crane said that as DR.. Gill bad
pronounced the argument 10 the book fal-
lacy, it could not do any harm. He thought
DR.. Gil,'S intention to publish another book
exposing the error was removing The anti
dote too far from the baue. Rev. Mr.. Laren
said the book out.Humes Hume himself ;
that DR.. GALS position was peculiar one
a mistake, may Debut he meant well.
Rev. Mr.. Atkinson opened the report, and
read extracts Eom the book, stating that it
was 10 direct opposition to the accepted
theology Of the: Christian Church, and be
thought the Conference would be acting in.
consistently 10 sending DR.. Gill forth 10
preach the Gospel. The report was put to
vote after all had spoken who desired, and
was almost unanimously adopted; and DR.
Gill viii be allowed time to write the second
volume before any further action will be
| TAKEN.

the following members being present: r. e.
Bickle. John ". Abby, Robert w. Burke
Heller ker, NJ. II. Funkhouser, Isaac WITT.
John Z. Evans, John Echol<, and William B.
Kayser. The special object Of; fhe meeting
was stated 10 be the settlement OF the city
accounts in connection with fine store bridge
on Augusta street. Mr.. w. B. kayser, OF
the Street Committee, presented report
" hich was read but not adopted, and reso-
luton was passed referring the Tatler
back to The committee with instructions to
confer with the city attorney as to the distrl
button of the amount still due by the city TO
the contractor, Abe S;mms.
Colonel NJ. G. Hartman, chairman Of the
committee appointed at a meeting of the
citizens recently held in this city 10 dispose
of city eight per cent. bonds for the purpose
of raising money with which to erect the
contemplated water-work>, appeared before
the Council and stated that the committee
were unable at present TO dispose Of any OF
the bonds among our citizens at par Yaius'
ton.
Thereupon Mr.. Burke submitted a resolu-
lion, " hich wa, adopted, that. General John
EcholS be authorized to proceed to BIltl'
more at once and negotiate for the sale of
the city bonds issued Tor the purpose of con-
structing said water-works.
Major Ii. NJ. Bell, chairman Of the Board
of School Trustees, laid before the Council
the proposition of Major Edward McMahon
10 sell 10 the city for school purposes the
building on Augusta street, known as the
"Fal!ey Hotel" at the price OF 50 900, TO be
paid in per cent. interest-beariDg bonds OF
the city. The above proposition was also
recommended by The Committee on Schools,
and thereupon General Echols offered a resp
luton accepting said proposition of sale, with
4 provi>o that a small slip Of land adjoining
the said property should be included at the
same price, which will doubtless be acecded
to by Maj Mcmahon.
The tax ordinance for the use of water
was passed without any material alter .ton
from that Of last year.
A resolution was adopted authorizing the
special Water Committee TO sell whatever
amount of bonds they can among our c;i.
z"ns al the same price 1t which the said bonds
may be negotiated at elsewhere.

Der Of beautiful tableauX, which were adm
rably gotten up and were much enjoyed by
all lovers OF the beautiful. The remaining
portion Of the evening was given to the read
ing Of the " ,Soiree," interspersed with voca
and Instrumental music. The "SoiIfe," 10
which the young ladies' essay their wings OF
authorship, is always the prime feature OF
these entertainments, and last night proved
no exception to the general rule. MAX.
