This was the eubject of Rev A. C. White,
discourse at the Universalist church yester
day morning. His text was, ..Bur let youl
communication be yea, yea; nay, nav; 70,
whatsoever is more than these eometh from
evil" Matthew, v, 81
Mr.. White maintained that mordern ortho.
dox theology is equivocal. 1t has no, the
courage Of conviction, and hence deals
largely in evasion. The orthodox OF
evangelical church is struggling hard to
emerge from the darkness into the light, but
In Its equivOcatiOn it is SO divided against
itself that in spite of its liberal tendencies
We can not say definitely where it stands
Its communication il neither yea, yea; nor
nay, nay; but yea and nay and nav and
yea. The teaching of DIR. Newman Smythe,
Thayer of Quincy and Adams of Rochester,
is virtual surrender of the old dogma of
eternal punishment, but the exposition of
DIR. Smythe is 50 equivocal and refined that
the ''Watchma y recognized the disposition
of both Smythe and Thayer to s'hedge' a
little when the occasion offered. Dr. Webb
however clings to the old doctrine and refuses
to accept the new departure, of a probation
after death.
There is a disposition among individuals
to soften the hard places of orthodoxy and
extend the boundaries of the saved, but no
council of the evangelical denominations has
made a revision of the fundamental tenets OF
its system. The creed remains hard and
rigid and as incorporating as ever; it has
not softened one degree in its view of God
and human destiny; it declares as ever the
wrathful and pitiless nature OF God. and the
inevitable doom of all who die unrepentant
Many have broken away from the creed en-
tirely, and insisted upon the right of private
Interpretation of the Scriptures, and so emf
nent are some of these individuals that they
have been permitted that right which con-
sistenty they ought to have been denied.
Now what is the inference if, as Prof
Park says, one of the vital doctrines of ortho-
doxy is the restriction of probation to the
life on earth? Clearly, that the orthodox
church has not and does not intend right
away 10 revise its confession of faith on the
doctrines of hell and eternal retribution.
What is this hell and retribution? The
speaker here gave very full extracts from the
writings of John Calvin, Watson, Jeremy
Taylor, Jonathan Edwards, picturing the
torments of he'll and their duration, and re-
marking that there was very little difference
between their ideas Of hell and those held
by Ialmadge, Webb and other eminent men
of the present orthodox school. If the
church, he said, persists in hugging its dogma
of eternal punishment. it must not complain
when it is exposed in all its horror and abom-
ination. No attempt to soften the doctrine
will succeed. II cannot be done. The only
softening down it can have is a speedy death.

Lively Times Anticipated In the House.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-The Re.
publicans declare that the deadlock
in the House will be brought to an
end next week. The fiscal year will
expire on the 30th Of June, and by
that time the appropriations foc the
support of the government must be
maze. The Sundry Civil, Legisla-
tive, Elective, and Judicial and NAVY
Appropriation bills have not vet
been reported from the Appropria-
tion Committee, and there are half a
dozen other bills pending between
the two Houses. Never, in recent
Congresses, have bills now remain
ing unacted upon been disposed Of
within thirty days, and the Republi.
cans see the necessity for securing
prompt action on the pending bust
ness. Next week coercive measures
will be adopted. An amendment to
prevent filibustering will be adopted
in defiance Of the wishes of the mi
noritv to interpose dilatory motions
against the proposition to amend the
rules.
The Democratic leaders say that
IT an attempt is made to refuse the
right to offer motions to adjourn, and
the Speaker rules that the Democrats
have no right to appeal from his de-
cision, resolution will be intro
duced to impeach the Speaker. Kei-
fer, they say, cannot refuse to re-
ceive a motion for his own impeach
ment, and on this motion they will

The feeling between the two par
ties is daily growing more intense.
anu lively times are anticipated in
the House next week. Some appre-
hension is felt lest the Republican
quorum should be broken. and it is
not thought that there will be
quorum of Republicans present after
Decoration Day.

taIfsts will leave this city for an ex-
tended tour in the West, the obiec.

mines of the Philadelphia and Little
Wood River Companies, in which
they are interested. They will travel
in a special car and be absent for
about thirty days. They will go
from here to Chicago, thence to
Omaha, and thence to Black foot,
where they will make a stage ride
Of about l25 to the IN ines. The par

are situated in Alturas county, Idaho,

material was extracted. This was

smelters are being erected, AMI at the
Little Wood River mine three more

ing to do the work for the surround

An Extraordinary Proposition.

New YORK, May 27.-If the state
ment OF some railroad men is true,
the committee Of general passenger
agents in session here, representing
trunk lines, have agreed on a most
extraordinary report. 1t is said
they recommend the abolishment of
the system Of thro Ugh trains between
leading points east and west, and
will thus require passengers to get
out Of their sleeping cars in the
morning at intermediate points and
transfer to day cars. 1t is claimed
that it is because the Erie road, which
has no through line to Chicago, asks
that the roads having such lines and
running through trains, shall charge
a higher rate than the roads not hav-
ing such facilities. BY stopping the
through trains and going back to
the old, obsolete system, all tempta-
ton for any discrimination in rates
will be done away with.
A prominent railroad man, when
interviewed on the subject to-day.
said that the author of this scheme
and the person to urge it on the COM
mittee was John Newell, General
Manager Of the Lake Shore railroad,
and he adds that such scheme was
worthy Of its author, who was the
most unpopular railroad officer in
the United States.
When asked for copy of the re-
port to-day, Commissioner Fink
said that there was nothing new re-
garding through line affairs. Alto
gether the whole affair is mysterious.
