GENERAL EXPRESSION OF APPROVAL AT
LAST NIGHTS PRAYER MEETING.

GENERAL EXPRESSION OF APPROVAL AT
LAST NIGHTS PRAYER MEETING.
The Rev DR.. Newell Dwight Hills is assured of
the cordial support OF Plymouth Church in his atti
tude toward the Cavinistic doctrine of election.
At the regular Friday night prayer meeting last
night in the parlors of the church there
numerous expressions sustaining and indorsing DR.
Hillis's position. No was taken but a
dissenting voice raised. The opinion seemed
be unanimous that DR.. Hills had taken the right
stand with the Chicago Presbytery, Horace Por-
ter the assistant pastor presided. Just before the
meeting Mr.. Porter referring to Dr. Hills
and TO his stand the doctrine of reprobation
said that Dr. Hills could give that doctrine such
deserved blow Beecher was not able to
deal.
DR.. Hills unable be present at the PRAYER
meeting, owing TO a throat. which confined
him 10 his home. The theme of the evening was
taken from in Isaiah, in which mention is
made of The rock in the weary land Thomas G.
Sherman said that he believed DR. Hills had
chosen the theme DR.. Hills was extremely sensi-
tive and sympathetic, and had felt the recent at
tacks acutely.
Il rejoice" exclaimed Mr.. Shearman that Dr.
Hills is freed from Presbyterian entanglements
and has now become Congregattonalist. He has
not given up the ministry, in spite of the state
ments which have appeared in the papers that he
was Iayrnan- he is now just as much
dalned minister he was, and if any one of
you wants 10 get married by DR.. Hills you may,
his rights in that particular not been given
up II is my belief that DR.. Hilliss views ana Mr.
Beechers are the the doctrine of election -
Several others spoke Mr.. Porter said he believed
other had been in a hundred wears to effect a
dehVerance from that terrible doctrine"
