DR.. Bigham Says He Is Hereto.

DR.. Brigham Says He Is a Hereto.
Or. r. J. Bisham. presiding elder OF the
North Atlanta district. says II Professor
Mitchell has been quoted correctly he is
what IS commonly called a hereto Dr.
Bigham says that Methodism IS greater
than John Wesley, and that the latter
was not infallible because he believed In
witches.
DR. Bigham's communication follows:
when Professor Mitchell says that
belief IN the deity OF Christ is not neces-
sary TO salvation he states proposition
which might be true Of man who had
never heard of Christ; for the Bible
teaches that the heathens Will he Judged
10y tho light they have and the Method
list church does not hold In the body OF
her theology that only believers in Christ
can he saved.
But If Professor Mitchell means 10 say
that McthOdiSts do not mold that BELIEF
i'm The divinity of Christ is necessary to
salvation through Him, then he is what
is commonly called a hereto. for the dl-
Ninity of Christ is a doctrine OF the Meth
odist church. The Methodist church fur
Their holds that belief in His divinity is
necessary to the salvation OF those who
have had Him preached unto them.
He can believe what he pleaseS as TO
the length of the days spoken of in
Genesis without violating any doctrine of
the Methodist church our church does
not say how long those days were. She
does not know.
THE Methodist church holds that the
Old and New Testaments are the word OF
God, and believes IN the Bible-stories
and all.
Professor Mitchell says that he Is sup
ported by John Wesley. But that does not
settle things Of faith with Methodists.
We hold that Methodism Is greater than
John Wesley-great as he was. He is not
our last or only appeal as to doctrines.
Professor Mitchell appeals to Mr.. Wes-
lev as his infallihle authority; he ought
10 swallow the whole of Mr.. Wesley, and
AIR Wesley believed in witches.

CABINET CONSIDERS
CHINESE AFFAIRS

Washington Nov. 2S.-The Cabinet
meeting to-day occupied mainly dis
cussion of Chinese affairs and the read
ing of portions of the President :
Forthcoming message to Congress.
The result of the discussion of the
last phases of the Chinese problem was
Il thorough approval of every point of
the policy of Secretary Hay, and espe-
cially of the last instructions to Mr..
Conger, which were forwarded just a
week ago.
While Mr.. Conger has full plenipo-
Tertiary powers, and consequently by
his acts mt Pekin can finally commit
the government of the United States
to an agreement it is understood by
the officials that so far he has not
signed any protocol or preliminary
treaty. SO, regardless of Mr.. ConSers
disposition toward the agreement
reached by the ministerial council, the
government of the United States still
stands uncommitted, and therefore is
in position to endeavor to bring about
such changes in the arrangements as
are deemed indispensable.
Mr.. White, our ambassador at Bcr-
lin. has not yet communicated to the
State Department the reception accord
ed by the German government to the
copy of the instructions supplied by
our State Department to Minister Con
ger. 1t is stated that the instructions,
not being in the form of direct ad-
dress, would not necessarily call for
n formal response. 1t is expected that
several days will he consumed in this
kind of negotiation with the various
powers before the last phase of the
Chinese question initiated by Secretary
Hays instructions to Minister Congcr
as to the agreement, can be passed.
Private advices received here indi-
cate that the suggestions of this gov
ernment ms embodied in the instruc-
tions TO Minister Conger meet with
general favor abroad.

Samuel Conger. owner of the Neder-
land claim in Boulder county, one of
the mines in which tungsten in pay

II shipment of two ear loads of the

something more than $500 per ton.
Other claims in Boulder county are
producing tungsten. the average aS
high as sixty per cent. pure.
There is an interesting story in con
nection with the discovery of tungsten
in Boulder county. Miners and mine
experts have walked over the deposits
for thirty years and more without
knowing that the stuff which they took
to be iron had value. only a few
weeks ago specimens We're brought to

the steel-gray chunks of rock and turn
