The RI. Rev. Bishop Hall visited st.
Johns church, Randolph, and Grace
church, Randolph Center, on Sunday,
Nov. 2 In the morning. at st. Johns, he
celebrated the Holy Communion and
preached on the subject OF Christ, my
Master. nv Guide, my Leader In the
evening, he preached from Matt. X;2, 8, 4,
which gives list of the twelve apostles.
From this text, calling attention 70 the
three pairs of brothers and contrasting
the characteristics of the other six apos-
ties as arranged in pairs, the bishop drew
a. asNf lauGAnG from
natural relations we should be led to spir-
itual relations-from nature to the super
natural. The opposite characteristics
OF the apostles, as OF the patriotic simon,
the zeaiot, and the Roman taxgatherer,
Matthew, teach that we need the connict
OF opinion to educate us into broad CATH
olicity. 3 That God calls and would
mould all into one great and catholic
body, the church, where minor differences
would give strength rather than weakness
to the whole. The service at the Center
was at half past two and the plshop
preached to a large congregation a power
ful sermon from Luke XIII 1874, which
describes the crueitixion .of the TWO
thieves, together with our Lord.
New York papers Of last Sunday give
prominence to reports of the new proceed
ings that have been instituted in the case
OF Peter F. McLaurin, well known.in Ram
dolph, VS.. the Cuba company. IL Will De
remembered that some months ago Nc
Iaurin obtained verdict against the
company for S50, ZOO, the value OF one share
OF stock which he alleged was presented to
him by Sir William Van Horne as part
OF his compensation for securing land Tor
the company in Cuba and helping the
company get right of way through the
island. The company appealed, and had
to put up a bond OF 100000. Saturday, a
motion for new trial was filed by counsel
for the company, on the ground OF newly
discovered evidence. The motion was
heard before Justice Keogh. The COM
pany introduced an affidavit from Charles
A. johnson, one of the company's primer
pal agents in Cuba, to the effect that Nc
taurin had told him in Cuba that the
company had not promised him stock IN
payment for his services and he did not
Know what he would get. This was con-
trary to McLaurin's testimony at the trlal,
Mcfaurin's counsel stoutly maintained
that the affidavit was not only false, but
that johnson was a fugitive from justice,
and went under an assumed name, ana
that Sir William knew this all the time.
The Judge was impressed with the serious
ness OF the charge, which appeared TO De
well sustained by documentary evidence,
