Invaders Effect u Landing.
Streeter organized the force which
made the descent upon the land,
but was not with them in person. The
transport containing the troops" ar
rived off Lincoln park soon after mid
night, and Without difficulty they made
landing at the foot of Superior street,
and formally took possession of the
land. Streeter had Issued Il proclama
ton declaring that he had right to
occupy the land and that no one had a
right to prevent him.
Rapid-fire guns, it is alleged, were
on the transport decks ready to cover,
if necessary, the landing of the
troops, but the shores were unprO-
tected and without opposition the
men made their way through the
surf, rallied around their leader
"COmmandant" William Niles, and
hoisted an American flag in the CEN
ter of the invaded district.

Immediately on landing, line of
fortiticatiOns was marked out. \ line
of plank was laid along the western
edge of the claimed territory and
barbed wire was stretched about a foot
above ii. Two forts each about twelve
feet square and formed of an embank-
ment of dirt and piling about five feet
high, were hastily thrown up on either
side of Superior street Sentinels were
detailed to patrol Il picket line just
inside the barbed wire. The com
mandant' gave orders that no one
should be allowed to cross this line,
and then, establishing his headquar-

his men TO stack arms and rest them
selves in preparation for Il struggle
which he said he felt was inevitable.

The Bible Doctrine Of FIXTURE P%unishment.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir: In your
editorial OF April 10 you rightly take the
ground that the question Of revision Of the
Westminster Confession In the PresbytsrinA
Church IL inseparably hound up with the IN
ture OF the current doctrine OF everlasting pun
ishment, upon which there has long been a
substantial agreement In the professsd faith OF
Christendom.
Twelve years ago the writer, who was then
a minister OF that Church, urged the
necessity OF revising its Confession, beginning
at tho archaeological end OF It and working
back ward. He insisted that Its great mistake
did not lie In the doctrine Of Gods DEGREES.
with which it starts out. but In its Wow OF the
outcome in this system Of things OF which He IL
the author. The attempt OF that Church to re-.
wise its Confession ten years ago failed because
1t began at the wrong end.
The point at which the trainers OF the Con-
fcssion fatally stumbled and the SANE was
true OF the other Reformed symbols-was In
viewing the resurrection OF tina unjust IA a
mere preliminary 70 their judgment. AMI as
heaping upon them q double damnation. thus
denying to it. in their case. the least redemp-
tive value: whereas. sinca death Is the wages
OF sin. 'hers can be no such thing IA recovery
from the death state which does not Garry with
II some mebsuTe OF DlcSAlng. ms value Ia
carefully graded in Scripture according to the
harvest law Of all life. that whatsoever has been
sown must also be reaped. Tho New Testa-
ment also recognizes but two possible forms Of
human exlstencs-the earthly man and the
heavenly. sinful men who are not prepared
for heavenly manhood can therefore be re-
stored TO life only on the earthly plane. or one
similar thereto. which is necessarily the arena
oi further trial and Judgment, involving la
biity to sin and corruption and a second death.
The principle. therefore-"Every man in his
! own time and order" and TO every seed his
own body gives room for the full operation Of
Gods eternal law-true In this world and IN all
words-that men rise TO newness OF lie, or
remain under prolonged judgment and abiding
wrath. according tn deeds done, whether good
or i'll yet the principe remains that all recov-
cry from death to life is due to tho redeeming
work NJ Christ. and that the possession OF life
brings with II the opportunities OF life. Ac-
corlingly. In St. Paul's view. the ises Of
God 10 the fathers" which Jesus Christ came
to confirm, involved tho resurrection. or recov-
