A Minister'S Mistake

A city minister was recently handed a
notice to be read from his pulpit. Ac

was hardly what he had expected andd

ception of him in Havana last year,
when the populace went wild in their
demonstrations. But that he is feared
and disIiked. by the politicians was
made manifest by their treatment OF
him only a few months afterWard- AS
to his position, many claims have been
advanced, one asserting that he IS nos
tile to the United States and fears that
American influence may thwart his
long cherished scheme for West Indian
autonomy and. another that he has rec
ognized the true spirit of friendliness
which has animated the United States
throughout its Intervention and viii
cooperate with the wise plans for re-
form which have been inaugurated dur
ing this period.
The truth is, probably, that though
the old general is eccentric and per-
haps erratic he will stand by those
who came to his rescue in 1898 and who
alone made the freedom Of Cuba posi-
Bile. He has shown this in his speeches,
notably in one OF his farewell, adj
dresses last year. when he said among
other excellent things: we should aid by
every pacific method in finishing the work
of organizing which the Americans ac-
cepted in the protocol and which is as
disagreeable for them as for ourselves
This aid viii prove useless without
concord among all the islanders. There

attitude of Gomez toward this country

tial chair. But his very fFiendliness to-
ward US win be urged against him in
the campaign, for the Cubans, as has
already been said of them, have short
memories where gratitude is concern

character; he has denied the faith of

and allying himself to a woman who
has made him sort of pet and there
by scandalized a Christian college.
The Congregational association is to
be congratulated for the stand it has
taken in getting rid of this moral in
cubus. Heron has not only done
great wrong to his deserted wife but
set an example before the world that
can tend only to work harm, especially
to many young people in the church
who had been led to look upon him
as an example of righteousness. He
is, instead, an example of evil infiu-
ence who has used the cloak of Chris
tianity to conceal the nature of per-
vert; a degenerate with the smile of a
hypocrite, who has beguiled two fool
ish women out of their money and
scandalized the name of religion by
taking upon himself the oice of teach
er of principles that he has brought in
to temporary disrepute by attempting
to use them for selfish and wicked
purposes.
