Rejection of the Charges of Heresy
Against the Noted Divine.

The case of Rev. DR.. John Watson Ian
Maclaren) was brought up in the Presby-
terian Synod of England recently at its
regular session in Sunderland, and the
petition containing charges of heresy was
rejected by a vote of twelve to one. The
petitioners, bent on some action by the
synod, explained that they desired to
avoid a repetition of the disaster to the
church by its falling. as once before. into
Unitarianism, and they would be salts
fled if DIR. Watson would assure the
synod that the statements made against
the s~oundness of his doctrines were false.
The synod declined even to call DR.. Watson
and this ends the matter so far as that
body is concerned. This action on the part
of the enemies of DIR. Watson originated
undoubtedly in his utilization with other de-
nominations beside his own. He is a regular
Orthodox Congregational minister IN coed
and regular standing in England. There
has been an effort made to establish what
is known as the Free Church Union in
that country, which would include not only
what are called evangelical denominations,
but the liberal as we'll, and this would in
clude Unitarians. 1t seemed for q time as
though this organization would succeed,
and DIR. Watson, 1t Is supposed, expressed
himself as f~avoring 1t. This brought down
upon him a storm OF opposition from the
intensely conservative wing of the evan
gelicals. Heated discussions followed and
resulted in shutting out the Unitarians from
the Free Church Union. An epidemic Of

iZations. Rev. DIR. Kennedy Moore, an Or
thodox Congregational minister, led off in
a determined effort to squelch any recog-
milton of Unitarians, and took occasion to
~criticise DR.. Watson for his alleged leaning
towards that denomination. 1t turns out

country. as well as in others, of all de-
nominations. If he had been summoned
before the synod in csponse TO the ex-
pressed wish of the petitioners. that he
might state that he was not a Unitarian.
he would assuredly have refused to ap-
pear, and his friends on both sides Of the
water would have stood by him. DIR. KEN

squelched and will probably let the matter
drop.

RetrOSpection.

Little We know what secret influence
a word, a glance, a casual tone may bring.
That, like the winds breath on a chorded string.
May thrill the memory, touch the inner sense,
And waken dreams that come we know not
whence;
Or, like the light touch of a birds swift wing,
he lakes still face a moment visiting, Z
Leave pulsing rings, when he has vanished
thence.
You looked into my eyes an instant's space,
And all the boundaries of time and place
Broke down, and far into a world beyond
OF buried hopes and dreams my soul had sight,
Where dim desires long lost, and memories fond,
Rose in a soft mirage OF tender light.
