In 1882. Mr. Shaw states, the republican party ap-
pointed a commission to consider the tariff question
and "in obedience to its suggestions" the tariff re-

ANGER
OF Presiding Elder
Burst Forth
In Language Strong
and Emphatic.
He Will Nail the Professors Hide
to a Door.

Chicago, Jan. EFF had the pow
or and ability l would skin that man,
salt his hide, tack it UP on the barn
door before the ordinary preacher
could sharpen his jackknife."
This was the opinion Rev. #. A.
Hardin, former Presiding Elder Of the
Rock River conference, publicly stated
of Prof. Charles w. Pearson at the
regular weekly meeting OF the minis
ters in the First Methodist church
here.
Bursting with indignation, and TAX
ing every opportunity to score the
professor ut Northwestern University
for his attack on scriptural miracles
and those who preach that they are
literally true, Rev. Hardin worked
hard to have the meeting take some
action against the professor.
Several others present were laboring
to have the ministers take a stand
against Prof. Pearson, but representa-
tives of the University-Rev. NJ. S.
Terry, Professor of the Garrett of the
Bible Institute, and Rev. j. z. Brush
ingham, pastor of the First Church
and a trustee of the University-block
ed any attempt to do this. This action
was taken apparently to allow the
trustees of the University to take the
initiative in the proceedings.
Several resolutions were Offered dur
ing the proceedings, one of which was
that the ministers appoint a commit
tee to consider the matter and make
a conservative report to the body.
This was placed before them for vote
and was pronounced lost. Rev. d. j.
Holmes, of Pulatlne, had another
resolution on the matter, but it was re-
fused on the ground that it was out
of order. al.- .ss
Prof. Pearson's avowal had the eff
feet of bomb in University and reli-
gious circles in Evanston. Threats of
trial for heresy and expulsion from
the faculty of Northwestern University
followed closely upon it's publication,
and such action is considered probable
by Evanston members of Prof. Pear
sons church.
Trustees of the University refused
TO discuss the matter and would not
say what action was contemplated.
Acting President Bonbright declared
that more than enough had been said
upon the subject already, and that he
had reasons for refusing to make q
statement at present.
DR.. Charles J. Little, president of
Garrett Biblical Institute, and mem.
bers of the faculty of that institution
were not 40 reticent In discussing Prof
Pearson's action. DIR. Little branded
Prof. Pearson as a traitor and an an
archist, and demanded that he with
draw from the Methodist church.
