the offending minister preached strictly
orthodox doctrine and probably painted
a picture of hell no more lurid than that

nificant as showing that the people have
grown beyond doctrine, even of the

Massachusetts, Nothing of the kind;
but, very curiously, a special act of the
Legislature specifies that the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts, shall havepower
to reverse any verdict of the Board of
Visitors when it is acting in judicial
capacity. To this tribunal Professor
Smyth appealed, on the ground that
DR.. Eustis was CHASED, prejudiced and
improperly influenced and a vast
amount of testimony was introduced

statement of the former cannot be OBJ

read before the trial brief,
in which the guilt of the ac-

sequently. he acted as a judge. The
arguments were made by Professors
Dwight, of the Columbia Law School,
and Baldwin, of the Yale Law School,
for Professor Smyth, and by Hon. E. r.
Hoar for the visitors. Much interest
was manifested on the subject, as no

court for adjudication.
The controversy, which has now
reached the civil courts, as is well
known, grew out of the opinions ex-
pressed by the Andover professors who
instruct Congregational ministers re-
garding the future state of the wicked.
The "heterodoxy" of the accused is that
they hold that those who die in the un-
regenerate state, after being punished
for their sins and disciplined, will be
restored to the favor of God and not
consigned to everlasting punishment.
To give the wicked such a chance is
held to be unscriptural by those who
adhere to the old New England theology.
1t is curious to note that the COM
missioner whom the court has appointed
to hear the case and make decision

prosecution, are leading Unitarians.

This situation of affairs is natural

education. Science has brought forth
many things new; facts crowd upon us
and consume more than a due share of
attention, perhaps. Fancy is pushed
aside and undervalued. Some Day

A STRANGE CASE.

A few days since it was announced
that arguments were made before ex-
Governor Robinson, as Commissioner of
the Supreme Court of Massachusetts,, in
an ecclesiastico-legalc case which has al
ready attracted much attention, and is
likely to be heard of again. The case is
so remarkable for this date in the worlds
progress that it is worthy brief notice.
About three years ago five professors
in the Andover Theological Seminary
(CongregationalisD were charged with
heterodoxy by the editor Of the denom-
national paper, and, as the charter of
the institution provides, they were tried
before three members of the board of
visitors, namely: Rev. DIR. Seelye, of
Amherst College; Rev. DR.. Eustis and
Hon. j. n. Marshall. The trial lasted
four days, and was so novel as to attract
nent counsel i'm the State appeared
on either side. After space of
five months. a decision was rendered
which astonished clergymen, lawyers
and laymen alike, as it convicted one of
the accused, condemned him to removal,
and acquitted the other four, the con-
demned being Prof. Smyth-the charges,
the answers and the evidence being
identical in each of the five cases. Very
naturally there was much curiosity to
learn how this remarkable result came
about, and it soon came to light. 1t ap-
pears that Rev. DR.. Seeiye was in favor
of the acquittal of the five, and the
other members were in favor of convic-
tion. The vote was first taken on Prof.
Smyth, and he was convicted. There
upon DIR. Seeleye threatened to resign if
the board should proceed to convict all,
after which DIR. Eustis declined to vote
upon the others, and DIR. Seelye voting
for acquittal and Mr.. Marshall for con-
viction, the others were acquitted.

PILGRIMS AND PURITANS.

About this time, not only in New Eng
land, but in all the cities of the country
in which the descendants of New Eng
land have made their homes, one reads,
or may read, much about the Pilgrim
fathers and the Puritans--many using
the words as referring in vague man.
ner to all original settlers of Massa-
chusetts. This, as many need not be
told, is mistake. Three different types
of the Puritan settled in New England
during the first third of the seventeenth
century, and each type made distinct
settlements, namely, at Plymouth, Bos-
ton, and Piscataqua. The Pilgrims
settled at Plymouth were separat-
lists from the English church, and
based their government upon republican
ideas. They were not contentious, and
instead of fighting for themselves, hired
Capt. Myles Standish to do it for them.
The Boston colony were known as Puri-
tans. They were not separatists at first,
but they were less tolerant and were de-
termined to make everybody conform to
unpleasant for sundry Baptists, Quakers
and other people with views of their
own. They wanted no one to do their
fighting, but seemed to regard it as a
privilege to do their own. The Piscata-
qua coloay was made up of immigrants
and refugees from Boston, who could
not conform to the demands of the
straight Puritans. They would not per-
NIT religious persecution, but, having
more Indians to fight, and less additions,
the Piscataqua colony was never as i'm
portant as the Boston; while Boston and
Plymouth, being so near together, were
mingled by their growth. The church
and state policy Of the Boston colony
was so vigorous in its rule that CEN
tury of it created reaction and de-
fection which swept several of the larg-
est churches and many of the most able
of the preachers into Unitarianism. The
influence of this off-shoOt, which denied
the cardinal doctrines of New England
theology, has been so widespread and
potent that it cannot. be estimated by
the number of churches of that name.
1t has furnished the !eaven which has
infused the spirit of liberalism into the
Congregational connection in New
England, manifested in the Andover
controversy, and in the Presbyterian
Church in the movement for revision
of its creed.

THE SUPPRESSION OF IMAGINATION,

1t must be old-fashioned people, those
who find little difficulty in keeping i'm
line with advanced thought who
complain of the realism of modern fic-
tiOn. How can the modern man or
woman, reared in an atmosphere of real
ism and among educational influences
that give no encouragement or room for
flights of fancy, be expected to produce
works in which imagination has part9
On the other hand, why should it be
matter of wonder that men and women
of the same generation and the same
training read and admire the pho
tographic novel and make it "popularq"
Children are born with presumably all
the mental possibilities possessed by
their ancestors, but as life goes
nowadays imagination is one of
the mental qualities allowed to
fall into disuse. Science, the
iconoclast, has ruthlessly destroyed
many beautiful myths that formed the
basis of cherished story and poem; but
those with which science has not inter-
fered are not left to our enjoyment, but
are frowned upon by the devotees of
that variety of truth-with a capital
"T"-that is susceptible of mathemat-
icalor other unquestionable proof. Even
the babies are not allowed to revel the
harmless little fiction of the Christmas
saint who comes with sleigh and rein
deer and fills the stockings by the CHM
ney. The fond parent of this practical
age frowns upon such nonsense and
teaches his offspring facts. Facts, as
science and the sometimes mistaken
teachers and guardians of youth know
them, are the undiluted intellectual food
of the rising generation. They are not
concealed in sugary coating of fairy
tales and fables, but are served
without disguise, and the originators
of the revised system congratulate
themselves upon tie Improvement of
the educational process and the useful
quality of the information stored in the
juvenile mind. Social, as well as edu-
cational, life tears the illusions away
early. The modern child goes to the
pantomime and views it as critic.
There is no glamour of childish imag-
ination thrown over the picture on the
stage. The young observer has been
behind the scenes and knows how the
effects are produced. He-and She

THE WORD. p.OOLoR THEORY.

People who. attend teachers conven
tions or who read the reports of the pro-
ceedings are apt to acquire great deal
of information to be gained in no other
way. There is nothing surprising about
this. whatever the case may be with the
information, for if professional edu-
Gators cannot tellus things we do not
know, who cant The science of educa-
tion has progressed rapidly within few
years, and many subjects are treated in
the schools of which the persons who
had the instruction of an earlier
period are totally ignorant. In Or
der to be in line with advanced
thought, and to get the benefit of new
ideas, one has but to go to the gather
ings of teachers and listen to their pro-
found dissertations. Where, for in
stance, but at one of these conventions
could the fact be learned that words,
letters and figures present an appear
ance of shade or.color to the mind9 The
mind here referred TO belongs, of
course, to that part of the younger gen..
Grafton which has had the benefit of
aesthetic instruction. Elderly persons
whose education was neglected in this
particular are for the first time aware
that such distinctions of color exist, and
the effect OF the discovery naturally is
to set them to investigating the matter
and remedying the defect. In the alb
sence of an authoritatively estab-
lished word-color dictionary or
chart they are obliged to work some
what at random until their mental vis-
ion is better developed. Still, it is not
difficult to decide what colors belong to
certain words. Take, for example, the
words that describe the feelings OF Lee

are black, says the learned educator,
and list of such will at once suggest
itself. The language used by man
with bill the week after Christmas can
be nothing else tEan dark, no matter
how polite and mellifluous in sound, and
the accompanying figures are blacker
still. The whitest words that could ap-
pear to the mental sight of man or woman

sion are those announcing liberal be-
quest in the will of departed and dis

REPUBLIcANIsM IN EUROPE.

1t is evident to the close observer that
no little uneasiness prevails in Europe
because of the increasing symptoms of
unrest on the part of the people of south
ern Europe, and a secret, but spreading,
sentiment against the existing mon
arches, particularly in Portugal and
Spain. There is a serious agitation on
the peninsula, which antedates the de-
posing of Dom Pedro, which has in
creased the republican sentiment. 1t is
said that that sturdy republican, Caste
lar, knew that Dom Pedro was to be de-
posed long before the event occurred,
and that it was regarded by him and his
friends as the first step towards displac-
ing the monarchs in Portugal and Spain.
The royal family of Portugal, it is said,
could be deposed any day without blood
shed, and further, that the republic of
France would give the movement to es-
tablish an Iberian republic out of the
kingdoms of Spain and Portugal suffi-
oient moral support to crown it with sue
cess. The movement, once in progress,
would lead 90 an agitation In Italy in
favor of popular government. Late dis
patches represent the Spanish repub-
lican leader, CASTELAR,, as acting with
much caution, directing and controlling
the rising spirit of republicanism rather
than melting it. In the remote provinces
of Spain disturbances have already oc-
CURED, and fighting is reported. 1t will
not take much to make the movement
general.
1t is not expected that the monarchies
in Europe will be disinterested specta-
tors while thrones are passing away and
the people are coming to their rights.
CASTELAR, does not expect it; on the con-
trary, he does expect that they will
create a diversion in the way of war.
They could not be expected to do other
wise, since popular movements are catch
ing, and success in southern Europe
would be followed by popular demon
strati0ns in Germany, Austria, etc. The
most obvious thing would be for Ger
many to involve France in war, which
would not only cause that nation to
abandon the popular movement in Spain
and Portugal to itself, but might throw
that people back to the imperial regime.
Even Great Britain might find pretext
to interfere, the present demonstration
OF the British Ministry against Portugal
being believed by many to have its in
spiration in-the knowledge that the little
kingdom must be taken in hand to save
its throne to European monarchies. In
these conditions are found the solution
of the enigma which European states

declared that to-day Europe was in a
state of profound peace, but in a mo-
ment it may be conyulsed with general

COOPERATIVE CHRISTIANITY.

One hears much of the apparent decay
of religions activity and influence in
New England villages and rural towns,
but he need not go so far away from
home to find evidences of the same de-
plOrable tendency. There are church
edifices enough, but congregations are
small and weak, and many are without
pastors and are closed. 1t is not our
province to inquire into the causes of
this decline, but it is evident that the
leading one is the attempt to keep up
too many churches with slightly differ
ent creeds. 1t is encouraging to notice
that able men in different denominations
have been making a study of this mat
ter, and that quite number of them
have declared in favor of wider or
ganization or association of the be-
levers in Christianity in villages and
rural towns upon the broad basis of
intoxicating religious sentiment having
for its object the uniting rather than the
dividing of the moral and spiritual
energies of the community-a reorgan-
ization of religion which shall have for
its bond of union a humane and spiritual
purpose rather than system of doc
trines.
These men admit that the Christian
religion in the existing forms in which its
friends try to commend it to the public is
not attractive to the average man, and
does not impress the people with the i'm
portance Of the truths which it embraces.
Even the church recognizes the necessity
of modifying it's creeds to be in harmony
with the modified beliefs of Christians
can there be any surprise because people
who are not professed believers fail to be
impressed with religion that deals SO
largely in doctrines which do not bear
directly upon human conduct and af-
fairs? The old beliefs as to the future
life are 10 longer entertained in their
fuflness by large number CT intelligent
people in. as well as ont of. the church
cannot this fact be recognized, and such
n change made in presenting the moral
precepts and the social salvation of
Christianity as will attract the attention
and win the support of the mass
