that the republican leaders will find

case with every democrat who has

freaks must be laid to one side and
Cancelled by hand. Some Of the en-
velopes are not much larger than a
postage stamp. In these sizes the
stamp leaves just enough room for the
address. The largest business envel-
opes are one and one-half feet in
length, Between the envelopes one inch
square and the one twelve by eigh-
teen inches by size and there is an In
finite number of combinations. Some
of the envelopes are long and narrow,
others are three cornered. There is

LIBERALITY IN THE CHURCH.
Hope of the Reformed Church to
Avoid a Heresy Trial.

A new heresy trial is threatening.
This time the trouble is found in the
historic Dutch Reformed church, now
officially known as the Reformed
church in America. One OF the
younger ministers of this denomina.
ton, the Rev William H. Boocock OF
Bayonne, New Jersey, has made pub
lie announcement Of the fact that he
can no longer accept the dogmas OF
his church. believing that the Chris
tian church is greatly retarded in It's
work because 1t continues to hold to
teachings that were adapted to the
conditions of former age. Mr. Boo
cock declares that he will now pro-
claim the truth as he sees 1t, regard
less of consequences. II Is said thai
he has not denied any of the funda-
mental christian truths, although he
openly questions the accuracy Of the
biblical narrative and declares that
the church OF the future must be
built around the personality OF
man, not around the statements tc
be found in a book.
So far as has been made known, no
steps have as yet been taken looking
toward an ecclesiastical trial, but
among Reformed church leaders the
opinion is held that trial can hard
Iy be avoided unless Mr. Boocock vol
UNFAIRLY leaves the denomination
Like the Presbyterian church, which
it resembles both in doctrine and in
government, the Reformed church
contains a large element that is con-
sentative, holding tenaeiously to the
older standards Of faith. II Is said
that many OF the younger ministers
have a tendency toward liberality
especially those in the churches Of
the east. This liberality, however
does not approach the extreme posi-
ton taken by the Rev Mr. Booeock,
and the result Of a trial, II one has to
be held. is deemed to be inevitable
II is alleged that some Of his fellow
ministers have suggested to Mr. Boo
cock that he leave the denomination
and affiliate himself with some relig-
! ious body with which he can find
I himself in sympathy, but he declares
IL to be his duty to remain in the Re-
I formed church. in order that he may
bring to II a realization Of its pres
ent duty.
