This time it was the Rev. }. ID. Viii
son, pastor Of the st. Johns reformed
Episcopal church, OF this city. And the
heresy is in affirming the nnnililation of
the wicked.
OF late the instances Of departure
from what have been regarded as the
STANDARD authorities or the commonly
accepted belief OF orthodoxy, have been
so frequent rs to hardly excite much at
tcntion; at least they nave ceased to be
any longer public surprise. But there
are some features connected with the
present case that cannot fail to make it
one of more than ordinary interest, cs.
peciallv to the people Of Chicago. and to
the members and the authorities of the
church III which the offending brother is
regularly ordained minister. The lc-
formed Episcopal church is one of the
latest, il not the latest, religious dcnom-
nations of our country. 1t las come into
existence within few years; is not as
old as the republican party; hardly an
tedates the great fire and from this
fact it would seem that it should be more
largely permeated with the spirit of the
age, which Is that of u larger tolerance
insmatters OF religious beliefs. Another
fact to be noted is that the recognized
head OF the church Bishop Cheney, is
himself disscntcr, ii no! Il hereto, at
least on one iroint, rs judged by the
standards OF the Episcopal church.
Now it will be Il matter Of interest to
the public to see what this new church
and this late dissenting bishop will do
with this still later dissentcr. He frank
