SECOND IN SERIES
DR.KING'S SERMON
The Pastor of Trinity ChruCh
Speaks on Methodism and the
Congregational Church - All
Denominations Will Unite

Rev. DR.. George w. King gave the
second in his series of UNCONVENTIONAL
addresses last night at Trinity Method
list Church. His subject was Method
ism and the Congregational Church"
In his first address week ago last
night on the general subject of denom-
inationalism, Dr. King expressed his
conviction that all the major branches
of the Christian Church were ordained
| by God to emphasize some portion or
his truth.
| DR.. Kings endeavor in this series OF
discourses on the different churches
will be to show what has been the es-
pecial province of each. He believes
that eventually all denominations will
be merged in one church which will
combine in a harmonious whole all the
truths which are held and taught by
each.
"The special truth which the Con-
gregationaI Church has stood for" said
Dr. King, has been the sovereignty OF
God. New England Is the stronghold
of Congregationalism and Worcester Is
leading Congregational city. The de-
nomination is weak in other PARTS OF
the country, although 1t is growing in
timore, where he formerly lived, there
were some 1876 Methodist churches and
perhaps, two small Congregational
churches.
The early Congregational church was
characterized by rigid Puritan simplic-
ity. It was the state church and none
but members were allowed to partici-
pate in political affairs. II sometimes
think" continued Or. King. that 1t
would be a good thing If person now
had to be church member in order
to vote"
The breaking down Of the old Calvin
istic theology and the Introduction OF
more liberal ways of thought In the
Congregational church, DR.. King at
tributed to the influence Of the Armin-
ian doctrine of mans freedom as
taught by the Methodist church. This
he claimed to be an even stronger mod
flying influence than the Unitarian
movement which branched from the
Congregational church in the days Of
Claiming.
Now said Dr. King, there is not
a Congregational churchan New Eng
land in which the old Calvinism Is
preached You will fnd pretty good
Methodist theology preached in all Of
them.
THE Congregational church has had
a mission When the day comes when
all denominations unite, as I believe
the day viii come, the principle for
which Congregationalism has stood will
become a part Of the united church"
DR. King devoted the latter part OF
his address to a description Of the con-
ditiOn which prevails in and about the
church. He said that within a radius
Of three quarters Of a mile from Trim
ity Church there are 5000 people at least
who have no church connections. This
estimate is on the basis Of 1000 families.

was more than full that night. My
heart jumped when he did. He went
down into the tank with an awful
trud, and through the bottom down
into the cellar.
There was a curtain after this jump
and the audience did not suspect any
thing We rushed below thinking to
find the man dead. MOI He was too
loaded to get killed. He was sitting
up and murmured in a husky whisper
as we came up to where he was laying:
