countryman. Mr.. Burke first learned Of the

Authority Of the Scriptures.

Rev. DIR. A. W. Pitker preached last night at

interesting sermon on the Authority Of the
Scriptures" In concluding his remarks Dr.
Pitzer said: II am not unaware of the claims
that have been put forth in behalf of the
Deuteronomist,' the 'Redactor' and even
the Poet Exilist,' but these persons are ut
terly unknown to history; there is not even the

unhlstoric persons, designated in Germany a.

Mr.. M.cQUEARY's DEPOSITION.

Bishop Leonard says Thss the whole Mat
ter 10 Now Ended.
The conservation services yesterday at Trim
ity Episcopal Church at Alliance, Ohio, were
held by Bishop Leonard Of Cleveland. When
talked with on the recent deposing from the
church Of the Rev. Howard MacQueary Of Cam
ton, for heresy, he said:
'The action was necessary on the part of the
church. When . minister studies the creed Ct
q religious sect. and then takes an oath to
preach its doctrine, he is bound to follow out
that course. If, afterward, he finds that he
cannot consistently preach such q creed, and
that his belief lies in opposite direction it il
his duty to withdraw from that church. The Rev.
Mr.. MacQueary was tried by his peers and il was
found that his beliefs were opposite to those Of
the Episcopal church. He was chen offered
ample time to recant, but this he refused to do,
and he also refused to recognize my authority
as bishop. The only course left was to depose
him from the church. and this was done last
week. This sewers forever his connection with
the Episcopal church and puts an end TO the
whole matter"
do you think he will seek any redress in the
civil courtY''
mo, he can do nothing in that direction
now. The civil courts can give no redress. He
failed to live up to his vow Of allegiance to the
church and consequently he was deposed. That
Mr. MacQueary is sincere in what he breaches,
and do not think he has acted with q view to
creating a sensation in the religious world. but
the creeds were unaiterable and he certainly
should have Withdrawn from the church Of his
own free will"

series OF misfortunes led DR.. Sexton to Q recon-
sideration Of the faith he had abjured. From
enat day, In 1870, he resumed the ministry, and
eight years ago he came to America DIR. Sex
ton is a member Of the best known Of English
scientific societies and held the professionally Of
natural philosophy in the University Of Naples
Tor some years.
