The Advanced Position Taken BY West
Chester Pastor-The Position Not Con-
sldered Wrong Here.
For the past few days Rev. g. Heath
cote Hills, Of the Church OF the Holy
Trinity, West Chester, has come into
prominence IN consequence Of utterances
made by him in reference TO the ''For.
eiveness of Sin To reporter he
stated that two things are necessary for
an explanation OF the words the forgive
ness Of sins. First, what constitutes
forgiveness OF sins, aud second, how
may remisslons be obtained ia the church
of Christ Thus in the Nicene creed we
say Il believe in one baptism for the
remission Of sins But there are sins
after baptism This brings us to abso
luton. The twentieth chapter OF St.
John tells us that this power was given
TO ten men, for our Lord said, in com
missloning his apostles, "Whosoever
sins ye remit, they are remitted, and
whosoever sins We retain, they are re-
tanned
In the Office Of the ordination OF priests,
the bishop uses the same words. Aud

else of this authority In her three chief
services, morning prayer, evening ser
vices and Holy Communion The matter

Yesterday afternoon an EVENING
JOURNAL reporter called on Rev Martin
B. Dunlap. pastor OF Old Swedes Church,
in reference to the confessionsls In the
Episcopal Church. After a general re-
view Of the expressions of Mr.. Hills anc
giving the reporter quite an amount o
instructive information he finally said
"To what Mr. Hills had said l could fnC

several days drinking and having what is

His neck was broken, and there are ap-
parently two bullet holes in the back of
his head. The other three men had dis
appeared before the body was found.
Later in the day, one of the three. who
has a wooden leg, was collared not far
from the town, and because Of his
strange actions and conflicting stories, is
held in custody. HeA appeared to be
shocked when he heard of his COM
panion's death. and said he must have
been killed by the cars. He declared he
had not seen the dead man since morn
ing. Many who heard him contradicted
this statement, as they were positive
they had seen the party together at 1
o'clock.
From this time on the arrested man
refused TO talk Before that he had
said the dead mans name was Green
His own name he refused to give. 1t Is
believed that Green came from Trenton:

MR.. oTIs's A LOVE MATCH.

Aristocratic Society OF Which He - Leader
Aghast when He WEEDS Miss AIcNamara.
BOSTON, Oct. Harrison Gray Otis, a
lineal descendant Of the Harrison Gray
Otis who signed the Declaration Of Ia
dependence and who is a shining light
in the aristocratic society Of the Back
Bay, was welded yesterday to Miss
Louise McNamAra, an accomplished young
woman, who was unknown in the social
circle In which her husband is the leader.
When the engagement was announced
so.called society was aghast, but MI.
Otis didn't care for, that His only
answer to the badgering of his club
friends was: This is love match, and
not a society one" aud society was
forced to be content.
It seemed as though all Charlestown
had an early breakfast in the morning
and scampered of to st. Msry's parochial
residence on Winthrop street to catch a
glimpse of the man, who in the face OF
tremendous social opposition, had the
courage Of his convictions
The marriage, which has been 80 long
expected, took place soon after s o'clock
at the parochial residence Of st. Mary's
Church. It was q very modest ceremony
on account Of the recent death Of the
brides father, j. B. McNamara, but
staid old Winthrop street never saw
such a crowd before, except at fire or at
a nth of June procession. There were at
least 200 women densely packed in and
about the doorway Of the house. They
trod on each Others toes and pushed and
scrambled in fashion iit to make the
author Of "the mannerless sex" rub his
hands with glee.
Mr. Otis was the first to reach the
priests house He rode in his own
carriage behind a pair of handsome
grays. His countenance beamed with
Joy and good nature as he elbowed
his way through the crowd.
Accompanying him as best man was
Lawrence Tucker No sooner had
his dazzling equipage passed on than
one Of ordinary appearance came down
the street in an opposite direction and
stopped at the door. The crowd was
boisterous by this time.
It's delight knew no bonnds when, In
about a ten inch space. there alighted
from the carriage the bride. She was
fol lowed by her cousin, Miss Emma s.
Lang, of Roxbury, and both were es
corted by young Jack mcNamara, the
brother of the bride.
After the ceremony, with all the gal
lantry of Chesterfield the groom Leo
his bride TO the carriage and drove of,
without stopping even to draw th'
curtains. The spectators cheered.
