telling his conviction that the whole
theology of Calvin is untrue and that
the dogma OF endless torment for the
sins Of this life, as long as 1 keep my
reason and trust IN the infinite love of
God, is the most impossible of all
things to believe" He has come to be-
lieve that the doctrine Of the fall of
man in Adam. upon which the whole
scholastic theology depends, is a blum
der, fraught with the most disastrous
consequences, and that this race is not
a fallen race, but that I'VE are children
of God who have moved forward from
Il very low plane of life to more ex-
allied one and are still moving with a
progress that may not haste and never
rests" Further, he says the doctrine
Of the trinity has never brought to
him zone ray Of light" although he
fully accepts Jesus Christ as the we'll
beloved Son of God. So believing, he
asks for letter to the Congregational
association unless the presbytery shall
decide that any one so believing, but
accepting the gospel, may remain in its
ministry.

The International Mercantile Marine
company, known as the shipping trust,
has notified the New York dock COM
mission that the extensive new piers
which the city has been erecting be-
tween Fourteenth and Twenty-third

on the terms formally proposed because
the rentals are too high. The trust of
ficials call attention to the fact that
much of the commerce formerly com
ing to New York has gone to such ports
as Montreal, Galveston, New Orleans.
Philadelphia and elsewhere because
free use of piers has been given to the
transportation lines, while even across
the Hudson, at HoDOken, the same IA
ciIities can be had for One-third or one
half Of what is generally charged in
New York. The trust offers to open
negotiations on n lower rental basis.
The dock commissioners say that the
trust is simply abrogating its agree
ment. The proposed rental for the
new piers is $4,000 n year each.
