EXPELLED
HE IS NO LONGER A CoNGRE-
 GATIONALIsT.
Separation from His Wife Was the Cause of the Action by His Church-His Reasons
 for Divorce.

r Des Moines, la, July 4.-Professor George D. Heron, former Applied Christianity Professor in Iowa college at Grinnell, is no longer Congrega- tionalist. He was tried by council of ministers and elders of the church representing eight organizations, sit- ting at Grinnell today ,on a charge of Conduct unhecoming a Christian and a gentleman" and evidence was intro duced to show cruel treatment of his unusually loyal and devoted wife" which finally resulted in divorce pro- ceedings and legal separation. A lengthy letetr from Dr. Heron was presented in his defense, but at the close of its consideration the council decided the charges were sustained and the church.
 J. P. Lyman of Grinnel presented the case against Heron on behalf of the church committee. He read the let ters sent to the twelve churches calling for the council and the invitation to Heron to participate and defend him. helf Dr. Heron declined, saying: T am perfectly satisfied that the hearing shall be ex parte." MT. Lyman said he did not present charges against Heron on his own motion, but the church thought it was its duty to in- vestigate his divorce proceedings and his relations to and treatment of wife and children in the light of the Chris tian ministry. Rev. D. M. Vittum of Grinnell, was the first witness. He said he met Herron's wife at GrinneIl in April, 1893, and exchanged pulpits with Heron. He was entertained at the Bands and they talked all the time of Heron. Mrs. Heron was loyal all the time. devoted to her husband and believed in his teachings. On his last departure to Europe she told a friend: 'I feel as though I want to die."
 Professor Charles Noble said Her ron's books in 1892 was dedicated to his wife in these words: ITO my wife. who has been my most loving counsel D
 Rev. Vittum said the trial must be an exoneration of Mrs. Heron. She was innocent. His church, he said, was ready to expel Herro1 without more evid ence. but more evidence must be heard for his wife's sake.
 Dr. Heron sent a lengthy letter from New York.
 He claims that he was inspired by the Master to preach the Word to a suffering and patient humanity: that the church has deviatad from the true teaching and preaching of the lowly Nazarene. and that another prophet. such as Moses or Abraham is needed to lead the children of God back until they can see the true light.
 So he started his work Of 'Anplied Christianity" and started in to re- form the world.
 The full text of ProfesrCr r. "ron'E letter shows that his only reference to kis ro~ner wife is as the mother of his children and that he does not lay any blame upon her"

 A negro boy was born In Opelika recently having four legs, of parents named Maddox. Maybe there is more in a name than Is thought to be after all. and people better mind how they name themselves after four-legged ami mals and things. This evolution prop osition is a powerful business, and it don't require much else to start a lot of wonderful things abrewing and ago ing, provided plenty of space and time is given, and-we wouldn't be at all surprised if that picaninny "bellowed like a bull" if some one shook a red rag in his face.

 Ex-Senator Moody holds that the trustees of the University of Alabama should select an Alabamian for Presi- dent of the institution, and he is right If Alabama had no men as capable of filling the position as any man that could be found outside the State, the trustees would be perfectly Justified in looking elsewhere for a President. But with the large number of brainy men of letters in the State, surely one can be selected who will fill all the re- quirements.
