Rev. Newton Dwight Hills, pastor Of
Plymouth Congregational church, may
be tried for hsresy. The cause cited IL

his sermon of Sundays

and every young man who enters the
Presbyterian church has to solemnly
swear to believe and teach this frightfIl
view; and every attempt to revise and
expsl that statement from the creed has
been successfully oombatted BY a msjori-

would seem as If q man would prefer to
be burned at the stake rather than hold
or assert or charge such Infinite cruelty
upon the all-mereiful and all-loving
God. The day the scholastics wrote that
chapter In the confession Of faith they
got the devil confused with God.

terrific toroe that he was damned hard
against one Of the large posts. Mabe
Brooks fell to the dsok and it was seen
that he had been badly injured. -Four or
five Of the men quickly hastened to the
assistance of the unfortunate man and
carried him to the saloon. Then word
was sent to DR.. Merrill Of the marine
hospital who saw that the second mate
was In q most precarious condition. DR..
Merrill found that ore of the ribs had
been broken and that the second mate
