At the meeting of the Rock River Confer
encc of the Methodist church In October last
the eminent Methodist divine, Rev. DR.. II. w.
Thomas, was suspended as minister of the
church Oh the charge of preaching hcretlcal
doctrines, and steps were taken to bring him
to trial on the charge After an unaccounta-
BILE delay OF nearly year, he was finally
brought to trial, Or rather an examination"
at the beginning Of the present week. 1t 10
not little curious that the principal charge
against the Doctor should be that he denied
the inspiration Of portion of the canonlcal
scriptures, the doctrine of plenary Inspiration
as held by the church being founded on
Tim. Ill. l6: "All scripture Is given by in
SEPARATION of God, aud is profitable for doctrine,
for rep-oof, for correction, for instruction in
Righteousness, while by the New Version
this text is so materially changed that it sus.
tains rather than conflicts with the teaching
of DR.. Thomas, to wit: "Eusry scripture IN
spired Of God is also profitable for teaching,
for reproof for correction, for instruction
which is in righteousness "-New Version.
Which must raise the interesting question
in the outstart, by which version is DR.. Thorn.

Ono has more colleges than any
state of the union. She can boast of
thirty. nine regular institutions of this
kind, and leads even New York by
half score. These colleges last year
expended IN payment of the salaries of
professors a little less than 10000,
and received from tuition fees about
100000. Illinois has twenty-nine col
leges. Iowa nineteen, Indiana fifteen,
Missouri fifteen. Many have argued
that colleges have multiplied in the
west beyond reasonable necessity.
Some of our eastern brethren mention
only with sheer our western colleges,
and point to their favored few rs models
of excellence. Concentration of inter
ests upon smaller number, and en-
downing them more literally, would
doubtless be wiser policy And yet
great universities have not all the viz
tues, nor do they by any means turn
out all the scholars. Judging by the
fruits, some of the humber colleges
can show better work in proportion &c

Yale, or Cornell which of late years
nave attracted more attention from
their champion. oarsmen than for an,
