DR.. ALEXANDER TO Leave?
REPORTS TO THAT EFFECT IN
CIRCULATION.
Pastor of West Street Presbyterian
Church Said to Have Received
Call to New Mexico.

The Interior a church publication OF
Chicago, states in its last issue that
Rev. Dr. William c. Alexander. pastor
of the West Street Presbyterian Church
of this city has been called to the pas
torate of the First Presbyterian Church
of Roswell, n. NJ.
This statement was the first intima-
ton to the members of his congrega-
ton in this city or to local pastors that
he was wanted elsewhere. He is now In
Colorado on his vacation, and no con-
firmation can be obtained from him.
He has not notified the official board of
his church of the matter but as he ex-
poets to return to the city next week it
is regarded as probable that he desired
to wait until that time in order to pre-
sent it to them personally.
Mr.. Frank P. Leetch. an elder in the
local church, stated yesterday afternoon
that Dr. Alexander has not resigned his
pastorate here and that he had no in
timation that such step was contem-
plated.
DR.. Alexander has preached in the
church at Roswell on several occasions.
and it is known here that the congre-
cation there liked him. He went there
first in company with his son, who is
an invalid, and remained for several
weeks.
The statement in the Interior is under
the head Of ministerial Calls" as fol-
lows:

1902. Are men received to heaven or re.
jected from it at death? If so. why
should there be a general judgment at
some subsequent time when all people
must appear before God? Or. is there
such general judgment?
Answer. Without appearing to be dog
matte or unduly positive, the following
seems to be the teaching of Scripture on
this subject: Immediately at death every
individual passes to his reward. a state
fitted to his character (Acts. i:25). This
was evidently Paurs thought (PhH.. i:2O
and Christ's teaching duke, xvii :22-20.
But this is not the final abode, although
it partakes of all the elements of that
later state. At some distant time, OF
which we have no knowledge. this order
of things will cease and a new order will
be established. Then all who have ever
lived will stand before God in one vast
company (Rev.. xx:12). to be divided into
two great parts. the righteous and the
wicked That will be the great day OF
assize not to determine the destiny of in
dividuals-that was determined at death
but to make public disclosure before all
intelligences of the infinite wisdom and
goodness of the Almighty. Then the two
classes of humanity will enter into their
final estate, the one class inexpressily
glorious the other class filled with shame
and sorrow. Thereafter there will be
two Kingdoms, in both of which God Will
be sovereign. suiting his administration
to the character and condition of the two
classes. The general judgment will be
needed to close up the dispensation or
mercy. to declare the righteousness OF
God in all His dealings. and to usher in
the new dispensation of unalterable pur.
pose.
