on the Susquehanna river, was
burned on Friday night, together
with all its contents. The fire is
supposed to have been caused by a

and barely escaping with their
lives. The hotel was popular re-
sort for fishermen and was conducted

tention.
Stated Clerk j. r. Milligan, of
the Presbytery of New Castle, on
Saturday night announced the
judgment against Rev. Robert A.
Ellwood, who was found guilty of
unchristian and unministerial con-
duct for preaching his sermon on
"Should the Murderer of Miss
Bishop be Lynched."
The decree fiays his sermon and
says that leniency was shown to-
ward Pastor Ellwood because his
motive was not impugned. The
official judgment reads:-
"That the sermon in evidence
and preached by Rev. R. A. ELL
wood, June 81, 1908, is to be and
hereby is unqualifiedly condemned
as uttering and propagating views
and teachings not only in violation
of the constitution of the Presby-
terian Church in the United States
of America, but as a subsersive of
social order and hostile to the regu-
larly constituted civil authorities,
and calculated to promote law
lessness.
"But in consideration of the pe-
culiarily distressing circumstances
when said sermon was preached,
and giving full weight to Rev. r.
A. Ellwood's declared purity of
intention, the judicatory hereby
most earnestly and affectionately
counsel him to judiciousness of ut
terance at all times, places and cir
cumstances.

So they are, TO a certain extent but
after the warning he has had in the

full responsibility. Judges and jurics
would not now be lenient to public Off
GERS who neglected their duty in these
