ORTHODOXY AND HERFsY.
Prof. BInkemOrc snys Innovations
Gain the Lutter Name.

The principles upon which the Univers-
alist Church is founded We're forcefully
expouuded at the Church of Our Father
last night by Prof John r. Blakemore
formerly of Andrews Institute of Ala
bama, and for many years connected
with the public schools OF that State.
Prof Blakemore is Methodist, but the
tone Of his discourse last night showed
that the views of that denomination We're
scarcely in accord with his opinions. He
chose as his theme Hiram Thomas the
Great Methodist Hereto" and spoke Of
the famous trial of Thomas for heresy in
Chicago in the early sos.
This trial stands amor the most IA
nous church agitations OF the nineteenth
century and attracted international at
tentiou at the time In speaking of
what is sometimes termed heresy by
members OF the orthodox faith, Prof
Blakemore said last night that free
free thought and energetic investigation
never made man any worse. and that
this was the basic principle OF the liberal
religions which excited such general Op-
position from long established doctrine
and dogma. He said that the heresy of
today was the orthodoxy of tomorrow,
and that what was generally termed
heresy was merely the expression of in
novations with which every great change
is preceded.
Though the service last night was the
last evening service Of the spring, the
Church of our Father will not, however,
be closed at any time during the sum

BARKER's TRIAL TODAY.
Interesting Legal Points in the Ar
HnEt0n Shooting Cnse.

NEW YORK. June 16.-The trial Of
Thomas G. Barker, for the shooting Of
the Rev. John Keller at Arlington, n. J.,
last February, which is begin in Judge
Blair's court on Jersey City Heights to-
morrow morning, is expected TO bristle
with legal points.
The forensic battle is likely to open with
an exception on the part Of the defence
to the presence Of a struck jury for the
determination of the issue. The defence
-yiu contend thai the rules governing the
challenging Of struck juries are a viola
t!on Of the right Of trial by jury accorded
by Magma Charta 10 all persons accused
Of felony.
The legal battle viii begin when, after
the jury shall have been sworn, the at
tempt is made To bring out the story Of
the rector's alleged assault on Mrs.
Barker which, told 10 her husband Is
asserted TO have anEered him and caused
the shooting. The character Of the motive
that prompts a killing IS the very essence
of the case in murder trials IT deter
mines the degree and the severity of the
punishment But when the chdTga Is as
sault with intent to kin the law presumcs
the intent from the use of pistol, and
he motive that hes behind the assault L.
of no relevancy.
The defendant can say only that he did
not commit il or that he committed it in
self defence So unless the court permits
the defendant, and he Is willing TO plead
that he was made temporarily insane by
the revelations his wife is said to have
made to him and that, while in that
frame Of mind. he did the shooting. the
lawyers do not see how the disclosures
can be gotten before the jury.
