DIR. HEpwORTHs RESIGNATION.
OPINIONS OF 1HE RELIGIOUS PRESS ON THE

OPINIONS OF lHE RELIGIOUS PRESS ON THE
The religious press of the city express opinions on
the resignation of the Rev. DIR. Hepworth aud those
opinions very generally regretfu OF his depar-
ture The Baptist Weekly says that 'as preacher he
has done noble work and gathered a grand working
church.. In regard to his successor the Weekly adds
that the Methodist Church must be rich in ministers
to contribute many of late to other denominations
and some of her ablest preachers must be greatly
dissatisfied to be SO ready to leave her.
The Independent says it is with regret that the
friends of Dr. George H. Hepworh heard Of his resg-
nation last week. of the pastorae of the Church OF
the Disciples. in this city. The church. which began
with twenty members under his pastorate seven
years ago. has grown to membership of about eight
hundred. The society has struggled under terrible
burden of debt. which. partly by payment and partly
by sale under foreclosure has been reduced 100000.
and now amounts to about $S5 900. Dr. Hepworth
finds his health impaired by the labors of the long
struggle and will 20 abroad for long period of
cuperation. With no delay tho church has chosen
Harlem the Rev. Wesley Il. Davis. who bears u high
reputation us preacher, and who is not unwilling
The Church Union notices tho Doctors resignation
without comment. but quotes the words of . well
known preacher on his successor. Rev. w. H. Davis:
81 would rather be the author OF his dsc0urses than
OF any other preacher know"
The Evanye.ist calls DIR. Hcpworth constructive
Congregationalist" and remarks on Mr.. Davis that
he is logical and Cavinstic in his preaching well
AZ his prayers. and hence there may be
for his sudden change than appear on the surface.
The Church of the Disciples, the Epaaseiisr
thinks. is fortunate in securing the services
OF good a man. But contemporary
wants to know il those frequent secessions
from Methodism to be taken proofs that John
Wesley's masterpiece Of organization is failure?
The New York correspondent the Christian Leader
referring to this matter thinks 'the transfer OF
Methodist to Congregational pulpit would seem to
indicate either that the preacher has been in the
past or proposes to be in the future hypocrte."
Not necessarily There is real and substantial
difference in doctrine to-day between Calvinism and
Arminiansm, and among men who 'preach not
themselves. but Christ Jesus the Lord" there is
difference at all. Mr.. Davis does this, and hence
preach i'll any pulpit in the land without hypocrisy
