Pursued nv His Sin.

A sensation took place IN the First
Congregational church at PatchOgue
Long Island, on the 9th inst. II
was generally understood that Rev.
Jonathan Edward Bell would tender
his resignation in compliance. with "
quiet hint from the committee which
has been Investigating some IS 5.ies
concerning DIR. Bells early life. liter
delivering an eloquent sermon DIR.
Bell rendered his resignation. He was
greatly agitated, and after referring to
a paragraph which had appeared in q
Brooklyn newspaper which stated
that he had been requested bv ma
iority OF his congregation to resign,
he struck a dramatic attitude and ex-
claimed: "1'he person who wrotethat
is sitting in this church now. know
him. He wrote that out OF the ma
hciousness of his heart. IL is n lie.
Has any one here in this building re-
quested nae TO step down aud outg"'
No one replied, and DR.. Bell then proS
nounced the benediction and dismiss
ed the congregation.
The charges against DR. Bell grew
out ot certain alleged ilnproprieties
committed by him while pastor OF N
church in New London, Conn, in 4 S67 !.
The story or his early error has fol-
lowed him from place to place forever
twenty years and he has thereby been
compelled TO leave numerous pulpits.

have also been more conservative,

their creditors and using caution in

The first printing press in North
America, according to the best record
we can find, was established at the
City of Mexico, in or about the year
1900. The first press worked in the
American Colonies was "set up" at
Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1892.
This press was secured through Contri-
buttons from personal friends OF the
Rev. Jesse Glover in Amsterdam and
England, who had the interests Of re-
ligion and learning at heart. But Clio
yer died on the passage to the new
world, and so, prehaps, an honorable
and historical record that might
otherwise have enshrined his name
among the pioneers OF our early
printers was lost. Stephen Day has
