The death of Lieutenant Schwatka,
the explorer, at Portland, Oregon, will
be regretted by our people, to whom
the name is familiar as that of relat-
ed family long resident here. The
Lieutenant served in the army against
the Indians and studied law and medi-
cine. In 1878 he commanded an ex-
pedition which sought for and found
the bodies of members of the Sir John
Franklin arctic exploring expedition.
Later the Lieutenant explored Alaska,
following the line of the Yukon river
1905 miles, and in 1884 he assembled Mt.
st. Elias. Five years after Northern
Mexico was the scene of his explora
lions. A number of books published
by Lieutenant Schwatka record his
various observations Sun.

Souls, of which the Rev. DR.. Hebe1
Newton is rector, to learn that the
charges of heresy brought against their
beloved pastor have been dismissed
DR.. Newton has built up his present
charge to be one of the most wealthy
and influential churches in the city
He is at least very popular if not an
orthodox preacher, and while his SER
mons may have wandered from the
beaten track of orthodoxy, the liberal
ity and broadness of his views have
certainly appealed to the majority of
his congregation, who seem disposed
to stand by him whatever happens.
1t is clearly evident from the pros.
perity which has attended All Souls
Church during DR.. Newton's term of
rectorship that something more than
strict orthodoxy is necessary to build
up great church. The pastor mnst
be with his congregation in thought
and spirit. While he shows them the
way he must inspire their confidence
and win their love and respect by kind
words and deeds, and by as fearlessly
what he deems to be the
right as condemning that which he con-
siders wrongly. Y Herald.
