The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-04-27

South Side, where it is known that a
large number claim allegiance to the
Baptist faith and there Is every reason
to believe that a flourishing Baptist
church would soon exist in that pop
ulous district. On every hand almost
there are proofs Of the energy and mis-
sion work of the Penn avenue church,
and until the mission on the South Side
is established, the work of the church
will not be complete.

Rev. r. Heber Newton, rector Of All
Souls church, New York, who created
such sensation by his sermon on "Resur-
rection of Christ" delivered last Sun
day, preached at st. Luke's church, in
this city, twentyseven years ago, and his
sermon on that occasion Is still well in the
recollection of some his audience. The
sermon has been discussed in Scranton by
members of various denominations and an
unanlnity of opinion prevails that as his
statements could not be reconcied with
the teachings of his church, the only
course open to DR.. Newton was to leave
the church. He has broken his ordination
VOWS and Is in honor bound to leave the
ministry. If he remeains in the ministry
his position will be a false one, and as
such, his only course will be to resign his
charge.

Rev. ]. c. Hogan, of Forest City,
In conversation with a Carbondale Leader
representative, said that he had not been
out to see his new charge at Rush, but
from tracing the location on the map he
was OF the opinion that the change in
his quarters spoke plainly of the merits Of
the statement he lately made In this city.
Rush Is thirteen miles from a railroad and
he would have to officiate at three
churches and school house, thus neces-
stating the purchase of horse carriage
and sleigh. In shipping his household
goods to that point three changes by rail
and wagon would be necessary, involving
some expense, but he did not confirm the
rumor that he had decided not to accept
the charge.
Rev. T. ]. Collins will read a paper on
"Deutro-Isaiah" at the regular meeting
Of the Baptist Pastors union on Monday
