THE YALE THEOLOGY WINS.
MEANING OF THE REV. MIR. BRoWN,s
hC0UII1hB OF HERESY

He introduced New Ideas and New Meth DDS
Into m OLD Country Church In Counecti-
cut and the OId-iiners brought Him R,.
fore n Councii on q Charge Of Heresy.
HARTFORD, March 2s.-The theological at
mosphere has been clarified by the heresy trial
that began and closed this week in the Congre-
%Rational church At Madison. The decision Of
the council that tried the alleged heretic-the
Rev. William T. Brown-ls an emphatic en-.
dorsement of tho so.called new theology
and us It is the first Of the kind to he rem
dered II attracts a more than ordinary degree
of interest.
Toe young minister who was on trial was
Just out Of Yale theological school, when, three
years ago, he went "candidating'' to the Con.
grepatlonal church at Madison. This church
Is one OF the oldest in the commonwealth and
In all its history has had only half IL dozen set
tied pastors. 1t had logged along in the old
ruts Of thought, oblivious of the passage Of
time or the birth Of new theological ideas. The
Rev. Mr.. Gallup, the last in the line OF old
timers, had resigned after a pastorate of TWEEN.
ty.eIght years, and had been made pastor
emeritus, and the young theological student.
Just from the teachings OF DIR. IIarr.. was In.
vtted to fill his place. The vote by which he
was called was ~ 10 ia small minority al
ready finding fault with the sermons Of the
Yale graduate. In spite of some opposition
renewed life and interest In church work were
at once apparent under his preaching. The
pastor organized a Bible :class of sixty young
men, and the church attendance largely In.
creased.
Thus encouraged, the young pastor began
to put his modern ideas into execution. A
novelty was introduced In the church In the
shape of n cornctist and a French horn player
from the Madison brass hand. The opposi.
tion grew bitter. A frequent saying Of the
old liners in referring to tho new fashioned
fal lals was TO characterize them "a sixty
infidels and u brass band" The sixty infdels
we're the pastors Bible class. The new officers
were mostly selected from the younger mem
bers OF the church. and church life began to
hum. Said one complainant:
AS far as | can remember. there were re-
moved all but one Of our original officers our
venerable deacon. who was chosen many years
ago deacon for lifc."
The pastors sermons. too, were up to date.
The opposition began to circulate n petition,
alleging that MIR. Brown was unfit for his place
and requesting that he be brought to trial
for hcresy. The petition secured about fifty
signatures, and the Rev. s. L.. Blake of New
London was secured to draw up the charges.

other female members of their households. She
says he tired OF her early last December. and be-
gan a curious course Of treatment to get rid Of
her. He struck her several times, she declares.
and occasionally removed his coat and vest,
buckled his susrenders round his waist, and then
squared off. telling her to come on, as he could
whip her. She alleges that he used to say:

His First suecess with = Coster Song-

Most FauAous Songs and Thsir Themes
Their Moral Inauence-Ideas On Art.
The prophets who thought that Albert Chevs-
lier's songs and mpersonations Of IRllon cock
ney life would not be appreciated In this coun-
try did not reckon on the human element In
them. II Is tho force OF that quality which
makes them comprehensive and even sympa-
thetic In New York. although the type they de-
lineate In not one familiar to the audiences that
hear Mr.. Chevalier at Roster & Balls. Many
OF the words that the English performer sings
are about as unintelligible ms n they wero In q
language radically different, instead OF merely
. local variation Of English. To the majority
OF women, for Instance. who hear him
the language Of his songs must be we'll
nigh incomprehensiblo. But even in n for.
eign tongue the purpose Of Chevalier's perform
ance would be understood and appreciated. He
has taken a character out OF life, and presents IL
with all the essence Of Its truth and humanity
still clinRinE to II. Life on the stage, whatever
the class or conditions or country from which 1t
may be TAKEN, is certain to be understood any
where, no long rs IL is revealed with its real elc-
ments preserved and indicated by art. Mr..
Chevalier has done this with his London coster,
and New York audiences have for that reason
welcomed the new acquaintance he has brought
to them. TIL coster wal not familiar In appear
anco before the English actor incarnated him.
His manner of speech. his costumes and habits
were something that had TO be learned. But his
humanity. his feelings. his joys. and his loves
were recognized, because, as Mr.. Chevalier pre-
sents them, they are the attitudes common to
ell the world.
