is the problem to be solved.
DIR. Thomas has boldly asserted that he
does not stand alone in the advanced views
he breaches. He says 1t is not only
the Methodist Church, but the Church OF
Scotland, the Presbyterian Church of
this country, the Baptist Churchill
g the churches almost, except the Liberal
''Church and the Protestant Episcopal
Church of this country-that are in
''trouble on this very question. There are
more heads of heresy sticking up than
''they have guns and ammunition to shoot
@ What is to be their course? What are
they going to do with all these men
Why, take the Roman Catholic Church.
81 am, l think, quite crediblY informed
that there are in this city alone $500
''young men born and baptized in the
Roman Catholic Church that never enter
its doors at all Are we as Methodist
'.Church-are the churches of this gener-
alton going to turn round and go back
to the teachings of one or two or three
hundred years ago, and put the yokes
''of that old time upon the people {?
"Are they going to do it? II they do
g fear there can be but one result, and
+" that is to drive away intelligent and
thinking men, and, might say, make
"a bid for ignorance and hypocrisy. >
This indeed is the question to be tried in
the approaching heresy case. What the
people think of it may be partly gathered
from the fact that Dr. Thomas has not had
to wait for church His old congrega-
ton went off with him, procured him fine
church, and there he is now preaching to
ever-increasing audiences, while the officers
of the Conference are preparing the charges
against him. 1t is perfectly apparent that
the effect of this trial will be very great.
The Methodist Church has taken de-
finitive position. 1t has resolved to expel
and prosecute all who refuse to accept
WD1b LII. luOiletS Cdlto tLiS
theory of the Atonement, the old. fashioned
doctrine of literal and everlasting hell
fire, and the verbal inspiration of the
Bible. By these dogmas the Methodist
Church is determined to stand or fall
Which event will happen to herr It is
the question of the relation of the
Church to the growing thought of
the age. Curiously enough Methodism
and Romanism have taken the same path
Rome, to defend herself against modern
skepticism and science, has recourse to the
schoasticism Of Aquinas. Methodism,
placed in the same strait, falls back
upon the fanaticism of her pioneer theolo-
gians. a few years ago an opinionated
Englishman undertook to restore the
geocentric theory, and challenged several
eminent scientists to experiments whosere-
suits completely upset his position. The
heliocentric theory conquered, as a matter
of course, and the poor pragmatist dropped
into obseurity again. The Churches might
take warning by this circumstance. The
spirit of the age may be opposed, but it
cannot be successfully opposed. 1t will
not compel any man or any organization to
march with it, but whose refuses to march
will be left behind, and when Churches are
left behind by the civilization of the age
they very soon cease to be anything but
empty shells.

THE SMALLPOX IN SAN FRANCISCO.

GA SA16@<+ "a Az SNA@s $1,000 $4,000
The accounts of the sudden spread of
small pox in San Francisco are disquieting,
chiefly for the reason that the interior can
not quarantine against the metropolis, and
that therefore the disease may work its
way all over the State, unless precautions
are taken early. 1t must be remembered
that when the last serious smallpox cpl
demic occurred in San Francisco, which if
we are not mistaken was in 1869, the in
lection was communicated In this way to
several points in the interior, and at that
time the railway communication was much
less complete than at present. Judging
from the rapid increase of the disease in
San Francisco, and from the utterly abor-
tive efforts of the authorities in the former
epidemic to con6ne it within limits or to
protect the public against contagion, we
are inclined to think that it will be a mat
ter almost OF accident whether it is over
come or not.

BBLL1eERENr CHILE AND CUR Ma

0GLLLSEEERI CnlLb AEO GOh NAV I.
1t seems that truculent Chile has fur
nished the last case of outrage to the
American flag. These outrages are per
ennial, but nothing ever comes of them,
and if perchanee the foreign Governments
responsible tender apologies to our resident
Ministers, the facts are buried in the dia.
patch boxes of the State department, and
the public are none the wiser. In the
present case it is alleged that Chilean
officer stamped upon the American flag
and called it opprobrious names. A good
many Americans were doing things
of that kind not very long ago,
and daring the late campaign 10
fewer than eight rebel flags were
Haunted in different parts of the country.
II therefore the Chilean officer thinks he
can goad the United States into war by
any little demonstration of this kind, he
is very much mistaken. 1t is moreover a
lamentable fact that the United States
IS not able to go to war with Chile
at the present time. 1t is true that we
spend nearly as much upon our navy every
year as England does, but for all that
we have no navy to speak of, and
the most remarkable fact about it is
that it becomes less efficient the more it
costs. We have at least twice been com
PEELED to eat Spanish humble pie because
we were in no condition to maintain high
words, and it is quite possible that we
might be incapable of taking the conceit
ont of even belligerent little Chile. Of
course this sounds very ridiculous, but
the fact is that Chile has one ironclad
which could knock our whole navy
into kindling wood, and no mat
ter how great our national re-
sources may be we are not the equal of
any Power that we cannot meet at the
moment Give us time and we could build
a splendid navy. That, however, is not
the question. The question is, why do we
not possess fair navy, seeing that we
have paid for such an one three or four
times over? This has been asked several
times, but no satisfactory answer could be
expected while politics were booming. y
Now that there is leisure it is in order to
bring the subject once more to the front.

The above table presents returns from
152, 1874 votes, with % counties complete.
Hapcock's plurality is 1856. The votes tabu-
lated are the average vote Of each Electoral
ticket In nearly al counties the separate
Electors do not run evenly. On the Demo-
cratic ticket d. S Terry Iuus behind his as
sociates about 500 votes. Unless the Demo-
cratic Electoral ticket receives over $50 ma
jointly, Mr.. Terry IS beaten, and the highest
Eleotor on the Republican ticket is elected.
In some cases only majo tiles are given in the
table. In such cases the total vote cast should
be added 10 the totals of the table estimates
There then remains 10, coo votes to bear from.
Since If is impossible 10 form airy satisfactory
conclusion IS 10 the influence these may have
upon the result when the figures are 50 close,
tne statements now capable of being tabu-
lated leave the State in dcubt-a doubt
which viii probably require Che official
count to resolve.

" in my own mind are not in degree ra-
" tional and tenable, and won't waste
e the balance of my little life standing out
son picket lines from which / know |
must be driven in when the attack
"comes." From these citations some idea
can be formed Of the doctors actual posi-
ton on the three points at issue. 1t must
further be stated that he claims to
be within the line of admissible specula-
ton, and that the Articles of the Church
Justify all his views. The Rock River
Conference, however, year ago narrowed
the limits OF liberalism in the Church by
decreeing that not only the formally de-
fined Church dogmas must be accepted,
but the theories of g the standard author
"ities" As these 50 standard authorities
were not named by the Conference the
power of impeachment was enhanced, but
as they undoubtedly include Wesley and
Watson, DR.. Thomas is accused of the high
crime of venturing to differ from these
divines, and for this, as a matter of fact,
he is about to be tried. OF course
the Conference, in thus demanding as
sent to the doctrines of the Method
ist authorities" fairly Romanized its
policy. From the Bible to the Articles
and the Catechism, from the Articles and
Catechism to Wesleys and Watsons SER
mons, embraces very wide divergence,
but the last has been made as necessary an
article of faith as the first. Yet the Meth
odists blame the Roman Catholics for ac
cspting the authority OF st. Jerome and
his contemporaries as equal to that of the
evangelists. DR.. Thomas, however, has
put the Methodist Church on trial in his
sermon, and it is obvious that it will be
even more on trial than he in the APP
preaching proceedings. As ne put the
question, "What is to be the position of
"the Churches, and of the Methodist
" Church with the rest, and it in pa.ticu-
"lar, now in relation to the question of
" the growing thought of the age?" That
is the problem to be solved.
