Is Dr. ToMLINsoH 4 "HERErIo2'
Elizabeth Pastors Sermon Stirs Up
Baptisss Against Its Teachings.
Speciat to the Jersey City Nsios-

NEW BRUNSWICK. Oct. 20, 1Ss6.--Mem-
bers of the Baptist denomination in New
Brunswick are stirred up over a sermon
preached here last week at the conven-
ton Of the Central New Jersey Baptist
Society, held in the Livingston Avenue
Baptist church. The preacher was Rev.
E. T. Tomlinson, of Elizabeth. and it was
the doctrinal sermon which he preached
that has stirred up the trouble. Mem
bers of the denomination say thaz the
phrase stdoctrinal sermon is a misnomer.
and that DR.. Tomlinson preached doctrine
Numerically opposed to Baptist teach
ing.
The point of variance wherein DR.. Tom
linson gave offense is in regard to this
vicarious suffering of Jesus Christ. DR..
Tomlinson said that ne could not re-
concile 1t with justice for the guilty, and
God would be cruel TO provide a scheme
of redemption where an innocent person
should suffer for the sins of the guilty.
He dwelt at length or the idea, and the
novelty of it in q Baptist meeting created
considerable
Sunday Rev. c. A Jenkins, pastor Of
answered Dr.. Tomlinson. He took the
text, The Blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth
us from all sin" Mr.. Jenkins said that
it had always been Baptist teaching that
the death Of Jesus atoned for the sins OF
the world, but that Jesus was a willing
sufferer. 1t would be illogical to Inn
pute cruelty to God in allowing he vicar
Gus suffering of His son. Mr.. Jenkins
was earnest in his sermon, and deplored
the fact that the ideas advanced were
given as Baptist doctrine.
DR.. Tomlinson is pastor of the Central
Baptist Church of Elizabeth. He was
formerly lead master OF Rutgers College

likely to become cowed and silent from
alarm at the serious proposition to APP
ply reckless, unusual and violent reme-
dies to existing conditions. as IL order,
light and peace were the children Of
chaos, rknes and disorder. 1t is an
acknowledged and known fact tina those
great reforms which so advanced democ-
racy in England were driven bach and
delayed for many years by the excuses
Of the French Revolution. The fear of
violent and unnatural remedies is the
best shield of abuses: the best way to
make reform odious is to tinge 1t with
the red hues of the menace of reckless
radicalism. To prevent hereafter undue
reaction against wholesome and legitimate
criticism Of government it Is necessary to
reject with an emphasis approaching
unanimity the extreme and sweeping in
noyations proposed at Chicago. In its
whole history the Democratic party has
gloried in its conservatism. and in the
period following the civil war it won the
allegiance of vast numbers of young men,
then coming Of age, by its consistent
opposition to all radical tendencies; in
deed, in its official appeal to voters in
New Jersey and New York it has called
itself the Democratic Conservative
Party. From this attitude to that Of the
convention at Chicago, which found moth
ing worthy of conservatism, is indeed a
long distance.
I yield to no one in my belief in the
majesty and independence Of this great
country; its imperial place among the
powerful nations; its duty to assert its
rights and maintain It's honor in all lands
and on all seas: but / cannot be con-
vinced that the best way to make it
~omnipotent against the world, If not as
proposed against nature itself, is TO weak
en- its prestige and clip its authority at
home. discredit its institutions and
impair it's business integrity. In a con-
test such as this party associations, per-
sonal friendships and interests. and eve
family ties cannot be allowed to interpose
between us n the paramount and pri-
mary duty to stand by the republic, the
best hope Of humanity, to keep unim-
paired, sacred and honored its institutions
and it's flag.
Very sincerely yours.

THE SLING SLIPPED.

John Long was injured yesterday after
noon while working Oh the Hamburg
dock. in Hoboken. In taking barrels
from a ship, it is customary. If the bar
rels are small. to take out three 1t a
time. Two barrels are placed side by
side, and the third is put on top. Al
double rope is put around the barrels
and made into a sling. This is fastened
to the rope Of the derrick and the bar
rels are hoisted on the dock. The long
shoremen are very quick at performing
this work and a great humble of bar
rels can be taken from a ship In a short
time. Negligence on part of the man
who was fastening the sling caused the
rope : to slip while three barrels were
In mid air. The barrels separated as
they fell and one of them struck Long
on the shoulder, knocking him TO the
floor. He was picked up by his COM
panions and an ambulance was called.
Although dangerously injured, he refused
to be taken to the Hospital and was
conveyed to his home. No. 304 River

Local silver Idisey.

candidates. it might have been useful.

In the last degree. Mr.. Allan Benny made
a particularly evil spescn. Ignorance and
stupidity characterized every word of it.
The assertion that Bryan's birthday

Lincoln's was a pieces of vicious claptrap
of the most detestable description. The
claim that flooding the ountry with
cheap money would revive industry was

corners. It win be because it enables the
capitalists to employ them at one-half the
wages that would have to be paid under
a gold standard. Does Mr.. Benny think
this will be a National blessing.
Mr.. Benny included in his awful censure
Bourke Cochran, DR.. Psrkhurst, Bob In

mention. but he probably included in his
own MIND Grover Cleveland. Secretary

NOT so POOR AFTER ALI.
An Old Woman Pays for Her own
Funeral In Advance.

In an old d~ilapidated one-story, one
room shanty at No. Isl ST. Paups avenue,
lived an old woman by the name of Doro-
thea Loehwing. She was supposed 70 be
very poor, and the neighbors practically
kept her. They were continually bringing
her food, clothing and other necessities
of life. On October S she died. leaving
behind her an old feed bag in which was
s136.
One day last month she sent for JUS
tice of the Peace Macs and had him
draw up her will. She had nothing to be-
queath: but the feed bag of money. At
that time the bag contained $3.50, but just
before she died she called in Undertaken
Connolly and gave him $50 to bury her.
The other sI36 she disposed Of by giving
SO to her only son and the remaining sf3e
she divided up between his children. He
lived in New York and seldom called to
see her.
The drawing up of her win was the
first intimation tina her ~neighbors had
that she was not in actual poverty. AS
soon as they learned that she had all thai
money sailed away they stopped taking
her things, and Just before she passed
away she cried because her kind neigh
! bors had forsaken her and just when she
needed them most.
she was buried on October 9 In the Ter.

this. when were those men who de-
serted the Democrats party appointed
to judge the actions Of the party?" be
asked. The greater humble Of them, we
believe, before Mr.. Young was born
Some of them were Governors, Senators
and great leaders while Mr.. Young was
still being spanked in school. They have
grown old in the party service and grown
mature In wisdom and patriotism. while
the boy element in politics are trying
to drag them down by the coat tails in
the hope of a little premature notoriety
for themselves. Who made Mr.. Young
the Judge of anybody's actions, we would
like to know?
OF course anything Mr.. Joseph M
Noonan says must be taken as ar effort
Of humor. The only serious thing about
his speech was the closing injunction to
support the county ticket. This we most
earnestly endorse.
Enough about this wild and evil talk.
1t is with regret that we notice it at all
but If they are not answered, it is the
habit of these orators" to shout that
they are unanswerable, that the advo-
Gates of gold are silenced by their pleas.
The real blunder is on the part of tbs
campaign managers, who do not muzzle
such indiscretion. What is the use of it?
The cause of silver is lost in the county,
the State and the Nation. Then, why
keep on shouting about it? 1t is only
sacrificing the real possibility for the
sake of the impossible.

Pohlmann's Hall was crowded last night
with a large number of Republican poll
ticians, and 1t was not the occasion Of
