Again Accused OF Hersey.
New YORK, January 30th-Heber New
| ton sermon last Sunday upon the "Trin-
| ity and Original Sin is to be followed by
Il second presentment of Newton to the
Bishop for heresy. The Episcopal laymen
who are said 10 be drafting the present
ment said that the pressure which is being
ii, u q.
| Potter is one to which in all probability he
| will be constrained from a high sense of
| duty. Newton declared in last SUNDAYS
sermon that the doctrine of the Trinity is
utterly grotesque, if not a sort of midsum-
mer nights dream, for which Christianity
is indebted to the influences of Egyptian
and probably Hindu speculation. He also
said that the doctrine Of original sin, not
less than that of the Trinity, is contrary to
science, revealed truth, genius and the
spirit of religion. Orthodox churchmen
who have stood by Newton heretofore,
| and upheld him in his criticisms OF Scrip
tJral inspiration, stand shocked at these
utterances. Others, less shaken by the
pulpit utterances of some of our city
churches, put Newton among the notoriety-
! cravers, remarking that he is a brilliant
young man, blinded by self-cOnceit The
present movement against him is stronger
than that previously employed to, induce
Bishop Potter to take action in the case.
