Changed His Faith.

A dispatch from UniOntoEn says; Rev
W. II. Bruf, pastor OF the Methodist Pro
tesiant Church Of this CITY, has resigned. In
= brief Communication to the congregation
he said that bis mind had undergone a
change in theological matters Wednesday
evening he presented himself al the Central
Christian Church and asked for baptism aud
that be be received as a member Of the
church. There was a large congregation
present tonight al the Disciple Church, and
after lev remarks by the pastor Rev J. q
=. Stivers, Rev. Mr.. Bruff arose, and said, in
substance: Having renoun9ed the pas,orste
of the Methodist Protestant Church in this
city, and having announced my intention
Of entering the Christian Church and its
ministry, and henceforth to be known simply
as Disciple OF Christ. it devolves upon me
to give = reason for the change. The pisai
pies Of Christ require assent 10 no othsT creed
than the all l-eompFehensivs one Of divine
revelation, namely, that Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of the living God The man bsliev-
ing the truth with all bis heart believes all
that the Bible teaches concerning the divine
Savior, and viii also obey from his heart sll
that Jesus has comnsaded. In the early
church every one who believed and obeyed
Him was recognized As a Christian, and no
other tes; Of fellowship was required Of him
than faith in Christ and obedience of His
commands The united church Of the future
viii also, believe, require no more Of men
and women than was asked in the apostolic
age The Disciples Of Christ raaks the word
Of God the only rule and guide in faith and
practice. 1t Is, also, true shat other Christ
ians make the Bible their guide, but no,
their only guide, since they have theiF ar
ticles Of religious discipline aud confessions
Of faith in addition.

taken by owners Of dwellings and business
houses Immediately on the introduction Of
the system.
Ii IS understood that other parties will ap-
pear before the council at their next meeting

will be the duty Of the borough author
ities to look carefully into the different sys-
tens submitted and 70 make the best posi-

before granting franchise to either set of
applicants, but it will not do for them 10 de-

So far as We have been able 10 learn the
people of Somerset are practically unani-

that the proposed system will include oak
ridge, pine grove, break neck rocks and the
stepping stones on Kimberly run, all to be
connected by q macademized road. The ex-
pense Of such a system will no doubt be
cheerfully assumed by the tax payers ofthe

Somerset's shipping interests are also at
