He will have to look closely to the
debris and stun stored in attlcs, al

ut is nonsense for these people to-
refuse to sit down to a dinner in DR..
Herron's honor. If they approve his
views they should have no objection
to dining with him. One fact in his
private life should have NO effect on
the value Of his views. Dr. Hills sew

and DIR. Herron's views have not

down DR.. Heron politically
For eight years Miss Rand was as

AS to a prospective marriage between
DR.. Heron and Miss Rand, that is
their affair. If the marriage takes

Former Wife Still His Friend.
Prof. Heron is at present engaged
in the preparation of book, in which
it is expected he will announce his
''era-making word" and in which he
will appeal to human kind to accept
his beliefs about matrimony and re
ligion, even though his example may
not be followed. The former Mrs
Heron says that she is still the pro
fessor's friend. He declares that he
has the greatest respect for her, but
says he has ceased to love her.
The news of Prof Heron coming
into possession of 81, 100000 amazed
his friends and startled church circles
but there seems to be no room fol
doubt that he really has the money
and, what is more, that Miss Rand
is glad that he has it.

ousted by Congregationa1ists.
When news of Prof. Herron's action
was learned he was tried by council
of Congregational ministers at Grin
nell, Ia, and was found guilty of i'm
moral and unchristian conduct. The
report of the ministerial committee
was as follows:
cat a council held in the First Con-
gregatfonal church of Grinnell on the
4th of June, 1901, to consider the right
of church membership and minis
terial. standing of George D. Heron,
the following findings were rendered:
THAT the charge of immoral and
unchristian conduct is sustained by
the findings of the court which at
Algona, on March 81, 1901, granted a
decree of divorce to Mary Everhard
Heron from her husband on the
grounds of desertion and inhuman
treatment
Resolved, That we recommend to

of George D. Heron be dropped from

HERON was pastor of a small church
in an obscure town in Minnesota He
was called to be the assistant pastor
OF the Congregational church at Bur-
lington, Ia, and his ministry there
was very successful He was in
stalled in Burlington in 1891, and
from that time his name became ma
tlonally famous. In 1893 DR.. Her
ron was made professor of applied
Christianity in Iowa college (Congre-
gationaD, which was endowed for him
by Mrs. E. D. Rand, of Burlington,
whose daughter, Carrie, has since in
herited the Rand millions, and who has
turned them over to her companion. ;"
After seven years of service In the
college, during which time the chair of
applied Christianity in general, and
Prof Heron in particular, were the OBJ
jects of constant and bitter attack,
the professor sent in his resignation
He did this only after Mrs. Rand had
agreed that the $4,000 with which
she had endowed the special chair
should not be taken away from the
college.
Couple Becomes Companions.
Miss Rand became the professors
companion" under peculiar circum-
stances. Her mother, a widow with
unlimited means, became a member of
the professors cult, after she heard
him declare that he did not believe
! that the present marriage system is
sacred or good. She encouraged her
own daughter in this belief, with the
result that Prof. Herron's home was
broken up, he deserted his wife and
four children which he brought into
the world, and took up his residence
with Miss Rand, calling her his ''com-
panion."
The Herrons and the Rands were
fast friends. Mrs. Heron knew and
loved Carrie Rand, who has sup
planted her in the affections of her
husband, and the young woman was
frequent visitor at the Heron
home, hence the shock to Mrs. Heron
when upon returning from European
trip the professor announced to her
that he had ceased to love her, and
invited her to institute proceedings for
divorce.
Rumor of Marriage.

York, prior to the death of Mrs. Rand,

membership.
Resolved, That we express our con-
viction that George D.. Heron has for
churches of our faith and order as a
minister of the Gospel and that he is
by vote OF this council deposed from
the Christian ministry"

tee of the Grinnell church to show that
DR.. Heron had no excuse for leaving
his wife save those contained in the
sophistries of his late arguments on
marriage and divorce. Eight women.

Grinnell college or teachers in that
institution, told the assembled church
men what the home life of Mrs. Her.
ron had been during the past seven
years that she lived in Grinnell, strug-
Cling with the heart agony which
came from the growing knowledge
that her husband was becoming
estranged from her. She saw all the
bright hopes she had formed in the
days when they were college mates at
Ripon, Wis, fading away one by one.
She saw the influence of Mrs. Rand
and her daughter growing stronger
| week by week and still she bravely
kept up the fight and strove to win
her husband back to her, confident, as
one Of the women testified, that her
love was so strong for him that in the
end it would triumph
Not Pleased with Colony.
Nothing has ever stirred the quiet
village of Metuchen to such indigna-
ton as the reports that have been cir
culated from time to time of the prog
ress toward building up socialistic
colony on the Heron property.
The people of Metuchen, whose
characteristics have been modesty and
retirement, have been unanimous in
letting Prof. Heron and his friends
severely alone. This policy of non.
intercourse has given the comings and
goings of Prof. Heron and the Rands
an air of mystery.
The character of the improvements
which have been made at such great
cost on the farms purchased with the
late Mrs. Rand's money have every
indication of a purpose to provide fol
an extensive colony. The nucleus oil
this colony is already on the place. A
number of sympathizers with Prof
Herron's beliefs live in the different
cottages at Elmwood farm.

Divorces Lawful Wife for Another Wom.
armstrong Denunciation by
Rev. DIR. Hills.

Chicago.-Prof. George D. Heron, for
several years professor of applied Chris
tianity at Grinnell college, the Iowa
Congregational institution, is at present
engaged in waging warfare upon the
present system of marriage and upon
present-day religion. He is writing a
book setting forth his peculiar beliefs
and in the near future intends to estab-
lish colony of believers in his doctrine
on his farm at Metuchen, N. j., and to
send forth his propaganda throughout
the world.
Doctrine Of Prof. Heron.
Prof. Heron first startled the ortho-
dox Congregationalists, In which de-
nomination he was a minister, by the
following statements:
81 do not believe that the present mar
rage system is sacred or good.
Il believe that union is made by love
alone and that it is terminable at the
termination of love.
Love marries us and, as long as our
love lasts, love will keep US together
II think it wrong to obey law that
would keep us together when love has
ended.
"We no longer need a religion. Our
movement supplies all the spiritual
needs of a religion. Human life must
become its own religion and human la
Dor must become it's own ritual and
scripture.
The modern world is practically
without religion. Fires on old affairs are
dying out. Religious authority has been
banished. All notions of right and
wrong are being scrutinized. We all
await the era word of infinite daring.
1t was not long after this that Prof.
Heron told his wife that he had ceased
TO love her and persuaded her to seek a
divorce. He then took Miss Carrie
Rand. one Of his followers and possessor
of fortune of about $1,000, 900, as his
Companion" . j.,
The recent death of the mother OF
Miss Rand, also an ardent disciple of the
professor, has left her another fortune
estimated at S11 100000 which she has
given him full authority to spend in
promulgating his theories on marriage
Possesses Paulian Spirit.
Prof Heron is without doubt the
most prominent Christian socialist in
America. He is of type that is
common enough in England, but his
peculiar notions of the rich man and

the woman fr1eno gave the wife $780,
600 to give her husband up to her.
Mrs. Herron's friends assert that the
amount paid was only 100000.
Now, some money was paid Mrs.
Heron or else it was not. Suppose
no money was paid her. Why has he
not denied the statement to save the
honor of the mother of his children?
If any sum of money was paid his
wife by this woman friend, then this
man sold himself, and whether for
Judas 80 pieces of silver or 100000
makes no difference.
Wife Made Desperate.
'3The first supposition leaves him a
mother. The second leaves him a
monster, and his friends may take
their choice. If there is community
in this land that represents New Eng
land Congregationalism, scholarship,
plain living and high Christian think
ing, it is the old town of Grinnell, Ia,
founded by the heroic Iowa band of
IA graduates of Yale college.
with one accord these professors,
| editors, lawyers and business men and
| women assert that Mrs. Heron is a
retiring woman, self sacrificing, de-
voted to her babies during her hus-
bands long and repeated absences, a
! woman who represents all the home
virtues of wife and mother. Driven
to desperation, if she accepted money
she accepted it for her helpless chill
dren and not for herself.
"And she declares that when she
finally consented she did it upon the
ground that Heron and Miss Rand
should go before the judge and when
! the Judge divorced the man from the
wife he should marry Heron to. the
one who had superseded Mrs. Heron
in his affection.
Now, when every possible excuse
based upon incompatibility, has been
urged, it remains true that, at what
ever sacrifice and remuneration, the
man should have been true to the four
children he has brought into the world.
These babies are weak, physically
and Heron owed his strength to
them; they are ignorant and he owed
and the father owed his earnings and
the right to good name to them.
''One day this man announces to the
mother of these children that he has
! ceased to love her and loved another
woman, and that money enough at 1--WE
per cent. would be provided for heI
to rear these children for him. Shs
reluctantly asks for the divorce, fol
] desertion, which he does not contest

strous.
