day he first entered the State De-
partment, although very popular be-
fore, he has gained friends. His adj
mirers are numbered by the millions.
1t is not at all likely that he will re-
main where he is long. He does not
desire to. But there are millions of
people who will regret to see him go,
and who are unwilling that he should
retire to private life.

INDEPENDENT PREACHING AM
CHURCH ORGANIZATIONS.
AND

The secular press has had good
deal to say recently about the action
of the Rock River Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, in de-
posing from the ministry Rev. DIR.
Thomas, on charge of having
preached doctrines not in accordance
with the tenets Of his church. The
criticism on the action of the church
has generally been adverse and, in
some instances, very severe. With
out entering into discussion of the
theological question involved, of the
exact nature of which we are not in
formed, we undertake to say
that the church was .justifable
in deposing Dr.. Thomas, if he was
guilty as charged. We believe that
a part of his offense consisted in a
denial of the inspiration of all the
scriptures. If he believes that he
has right to say SO, and he would
not be g man If he allowed himself to
be hampered with Church creeds
which he believed to be false. But
the Methodist Church is an organiza
ton ike all other denominations. It
has what it calls Discipline, which
contains it's articles of faith. When
a minister obtains authority to preach,
according tothe forms of that church he
subscribes to these articles Of faith, land
if he changes his mind as to the cor"
rectness of the creed of his church
and feels it to be his duty to attack
the doctrines, he ought, as
a matter of honor, il nothing
more, to withdraw from the church.
No man ought to be held down by
a creed to the PRONUNCIATION of thee
ries which he believes to be false
And the churches are bound to give
good deal of latitude to their min
listers, in the matter of doctrine. But
no man has a right to hold on to his
connection with the Baptist Churcf
and preach against immersion as the
mode of baptism. And no man has {
right to belong to the Presbyterian
or Episcopal churches and preacl
against the distinctive doctrines O
these churches. He ought to preacl
that which he believes to be thu
truth, but if this clashes with ths
creed of the religious organization t.
which he belongs he ought tx
withdraw and do it independ-
emily. We have a great
deal of admiration for an indepenten:
thinker and an Independent talker
but it is not right for man to sub
scribe to a theory or a doctrine ant
then attack such theory OF doctrine
without explanation.

guidance of those who have de-
voted their best talents to the
production of st. Nicholas. The index
contains the names of some of the fore
most writers of the land and among its Sc
rial stories are two or three which are likely
to become classic with the girls and boys of
the United States Here we fine the breezy
and wholesome story eff Phaeton Rogers"
by Rossiter johnson, who has struck an en-
tirely new vein in story-writing for boys
William 0. Stoddard's "Saltillo Boys" is
another capital series of sketches and pic
lures for young folks; and the papers en-
titled I'm Natures Wonderland" by Felix
L. Oswald, are almost as good as anything
in that famous book of adventures On
which SO many boys of past
age were brought up, ''The Swiss
Family Robinson" Perhaps, after all, how
ever, the youthful readers of ST. Nicholas
will reprove us for dwelling chiefly on the
| continued stories of the magazine, when it
is true that one of the charms of the annual
| volumes is found in the delicious bits that
are scattered SO richly through its varied
pages. Mr.. Frank Stockton's irresistably
funny fairy tales, Mrs. Dodge's "Jiggles,"
and the clever sketches contributed by En-
| lily Huntington Miller. Lucretia p Hale,
Cuoou COOiltlS6 anu Ututfo dIo ouOuBu ~
make the reputation Of any magazine for
| young people.
The phenomenal success of ST. Nicholas
is due, probably. to the wisdom of its
editorial management and the liberaity
of its publishers. 1t may be reckoned
among the curiosities of modern literature
that so many eminent persons have been
pressed into the service of writing for
young people 1t is very likely that. if this
magazine had not been invented, we never
should have heard of Longfellow, Bryant,
Whittier, Bret Harte, Charles Dudley
Warner, Mrs. Oliphant and Bayard Taylor
as being engaged in juvenile literature.
Perhaps, when they first ventured into this
rich field, allured by the bright pages of st.
Nicholas, they were surprised to find that
they had in themselves the rare faculty OF
interesting the children as well as the olde,
folks. IF for nothing else than this, we
should be grateful that St Nicholys has beer
brought into the republic of letters It is
something to be worthy of the noble reputa
ton won by this magazine. 1t is very much
more to have brought face to face some Of
the foremost writers of the time and the
young folks of England and America. L
may be truly said that the boys and girls OF
the English-speaking race have now pre-
ented to them, in the annual volumes of st
Nicholas, the best work by the best writers
for young people. 1t will be a happy day
for our country when such wholesome, at
J tractiye and enriching literature as this shall
displace the wretched stuff with which the
land is flooded.

On our third page we publish
some racy "reminiscences of the war
by B. G. Truman. If his reminis-
cences are no nearer correct than his
structures on the regiment of cavalry
commanded by Col. w. B. Stokes,
there is not much truth in them. We
personally know of some of the SER
vices rendered by this regiment, and
know that it had in it many gallant
men and officers, and that they did
much valuable service. The state
ments of Mr.. Truman do them great
injustice and are utterly untrue.
