Governor Thomas T. Crittenden, who
succeeded Phelps in the executive chair,
was inauguVated in January, 1881, with
more ceremony and frills than any gov
ernOr since the war. There were military
and bands galore, and special trainloads of
people came from Kansas City and St.
Louis to witness the pageant. The military
features were N charge of Captain Hawley
Of St Louis, who was grand marshal Of
the day.
BrOckmeyer, who, as lieutenant govern
or, was presiding over the senate, was Ioll-
ing back in his chair on the presidents
stand, smoking a cob pipe and awaiting
notice Of the time for the senate to proceed
to the hall Of the house of representatives,
where the two bodies, in joint session.
were to receive the new governor and the
Inauguration would be consummated.
The senate lobby was crowded, and the
of expectancy, for martial strains could be
heard on the outside.
Al this juncture figure in a glittering
and brilliant uniform pushed through the
crowd and marched half way up the aisle.
1t was the marshal of the day, Hewley.
Drawing his sword, he made a military
salute and pompously announced:
Mr. President the governor of Missouri
and his staff now approach
Without removing his pipe from his
mouth, Brockmeyer replied:
Veil, let him COON. Dot is what we
are here for
When the laugh had subsidized, the senate
proceeded to the house, and the Inaugural
ton WAS completed. City Times.

Mary was somewhat staggered by the

that she really didn't care much about it

have it that way.
You ought to think about it some
times, Mary, she persisted. ''God is aw-

you have. "
Mary still did not appear to be impressed.
''He makes it all himself, too, - con

Mary shook her head and undertook to
enter a protest on the theory that her
grandmother had given her the doll, but

BRETHREN DISAGREE.
Distinguished Methodist Divine
Accused of Heresy.
Rev. Dr.. John z. Robins Writes a
Book That stirs Up the Critics.

There is an exciting heresy hunt on
in the Methodist Church South. Rev.
DR.. John B. Robins Of Atlanta is the ao-
cused. He is the pastor of one Of the
leading churches Of that city and has
occupied a pulpit there for a number of
years In Atlanta he is immensely pop
ular, and the people who are crying
'HeIeticl' on his trail most enthusiast
ticaliy are men who for the most part
are not acquainted with him personally.
Or. Robins, besides being a popular
preacher, is a deep theologian and Wig
Orous writer on theological subjects.
DR.. Robins has written a book,
though, which has raised a storm Of Op-
position, and, although he has been IN
dOrsed by a few leading ministers, there
are a mum her of other prominent Meth
Odists who are actively denOuneing him
in both the religious and secular press.
It is likely that this opposition viii de-
velop into specific charges at the next
conference.
The book about which so much talk
is being made is one entitled ssTne Fam
lily A Necessity of Civilization. " The
lay reader, unskilled in theological tech
nicalities. might read this book and be
vastly surprised to hear it denounced as
heretical, unsound and dangerous. DR..
Robins says it was not meant as a theO-
logical treatise, the main idea being to
show that the family was a necessary
foundation to civilized life.
But in pursuing the thread Of his dis
course DR.. Robins made some side ex-
oursions into orthodoxy and shattered
few time stained theories which theo-
logians Of the older school have long
held sacred. 1t was these digressions
which have made all the trouble for the
author of the book Some leading min

listers and laymen OF the denomination
have written replies to DR. Robins, and
he has even been asked to leave his
pulpit
The chief fault found with Dr. Rob
ms is that his views on original sin, re-
generation and conversion are pro-
nounced unsound. Dr.. Robins does not
believe that babies are totally depraved ;
he does not believe that children need
to be converted, and his belief in original
sin is a somewhat modified one to that
held by some Methodists. He Is charged
with directly opposing the cardinal prin-
ciples Of the faith and with prOpoundinR
a dangerous doctrine
Among his critics DR. Clement @.
Carey and Rev. H P Myers have been
the most severe. The former wrote a
most oaustie criticism of the book for
the Tennessee Methodist in which he
said:
If there is anything in our doctrines
of inherited depravity as set forth IN
the seventh article of religion on orig
inal sim and the baptisma1 service for
infants, then this book contains the
rankest heresy and is full of strange and
erroneous doctrines.
feeble and not farreaching though
my voice be, I protest against such
things and warn the Methodist church
against books and public utterances Of
preachers which set forth views Of orig
inal sim and regeneration as set forth
in the book just mentioned I protest
further against Methodist preachers,
under solemn vows of ordination to
Danish and drive away all erroneous
and strange doctrines, who publicly or
privately disseminate doctrines contrary
to our articles of religion, whether in
the pulpit or in books.
DR.. Robins is reserving most Of his
ammunition until all the criticisms are
in, but he has already sent out a brief
reply to some of his critics. He asserts
in the first place that he believes the ar
tioles of religion Of the Methodist
church and would not change a sing le
one of them. He also declares that his
book cannot be tried by any other rule
than by that given by John Wesley
himself-to wit, the Scriptures and
common sense.
DR.. Robins friends have also come
forward and given hearty indorse-
ment Among them is DR.. I. s. Hop
kins, who says, 81 know nothing Of the
merits Of the discussion, but I would
rather take John Robins opinion on
theology than that CT any of his critics. -
Dr.. Robins was born in Putnam coun-
ty, Ca, Sept. p, 1881. His parents
swere of Scotch descent and of religious
inclination and he was brought up in
an atmosphere of Christianity and the
ology. Nevertheless. after he had been
graduated from Emory college, he de-
termmed to take up law as profession,
and in 1878 he was admitted to the bar
at Greensboro. Ga As q lawyer he was
rapidly winning success when he yield
ed to q strong CALI to the ministry.
He became a preacher of the gospel in
1877 and for a number of years occu-
pied- obscure pulpits. Finally, in 1891,
lie vas assigned to the First Methodist
claEreh eff Atlanta and has been in that
city ever since. s. p. SCIENCE

Notwithstanding our boosted superb
ority over Mexico in every respect it
seems that she is able to borrow money
on the national credit at a lower rate
of interest than we are. 1t is announc-
ed that our southern neighbor has just
succeeded in funding her floating debt
with an issue of five per cent silver
bonds. which were all taken readily in
Europe. According to the prevailing
method of calculation five per cent sill
yer bonds are the equivalent Of 21a per
cent gold bonds. Two and a half per
cent is much below the rate at which
United States bonds We're sold by Mr..
Cleveland and they are declared to be
payable in gold by the policy of the
government.
