VIII Try Prerbytery

! +
Atlantic City, n. j., May 23.-The de-
clsion to try the New York Presbytery
on charges of heresy because of the
granting to Messrs. Black, Steen and
Finch preaching orders after the
young men had refused to accept in
full the beliefs of the church. was
announced by the judicial committee
of the Presbyterian Assembly to-day.
The committee, headed by Rev. f. D.
Warf1eld, president of Lafayette Col.
lege. presented a report in which y
declared the belief that the minority
members OF the New York Presbytery
had established a prlma facie case Of
heresy. and the matter has now been
the assembly, who will hear witnesses
and report their findings for final ac-
ton by the assembly,.
Dr. Warfield introduced resolution
to allow contributions to divinity stu
dents OF over 5000. the sum allowed by
the assembly to pay the expenses OF
students working their way through
college to enter the ministry. The
resolution passed after DR.. Warfield
had stated his belief that Theological
students should not be forced to peddle
books or groceries to secure an educd-
ton
Until the resolution was passed a
regulation OF the assembly had re-
fused to allow students to receive over
5000 a year toward their education,
and the resolution carried proviso
that the increase should only be al
lowed in case of sickness or other
extraordinary need
DR.. Hamilton Haymnes. of Indiana,
declared that the high cost Of living Is
keeping young men out OF the minis
try, and advocated higher salaries for
ministers in smaller churches.
A mass-meeting in the interest OF
missions for freedmen was held to-
night.

port 1rcommends that no change be
made as to the law OF the Confession
of Faith as to divorce and remarriage.
The law now Is that divorce may be
granted only for the cause of adultery
or Wilful uesertion, and only the inno-
cent party to the divorce may legally
marry again. This report says that
no action of the assembly is necessary
as to polygamy, but recommends that
actions OF former assemblies be re-
affirmed which say that the law Of the
confession is satisfactory as IT stands,
and that the assembly recognizes the
rights of the missionaries and their re-
ponsibility to their presbyteries in this
matter.

Election on Bond Issue Postponed
to Tune 18th

At meeting oil. the Lexington
Town Council last Thursday night,
the date of holding the election to
determine the issuance of bonds for
$50. 900 for the Improvement OF
streets and roads within the juri-
dictiou of the town, was postponed
from Tuesday, May 18th, to Wed
nesdaY, June 10Th
BY changing the date of the cleo
ton many more citizens will have
opportunity to participate in the
election. An examination OF the
books in the office of County Treas
urer Moore revealed the fact that
181 voters had paid their capitation
taxes in time to vote May 18th; and
in addition, 10 veterans could vote
without the payment of poll taxes,
making a total of 1876. At the last
municipal election held year ago
there we're 328 qualified voters in
Lexington.
Now that the voters of the town
know in advance what it means to
qualify to vote on June 10Th, large
number will no doubt pay their poll
taxes on or before May Sth in order
to vote on the bond issue question.
All persons, therefore, who qualify
to vote in the November election,
will have the right to vote on the
bond issue.
Not expecting a special municipal
election many prominent citizens OF
Lexington had failed 10 pay their
capitat,on taxes before December
14th last. Included in this list were
several members of the Town
Council.

Citizenship in Republic Theme of
Col. Roosevelt

At the fa.nous University OF Sor-
bonnie in Paris, Colonel Roosevelt
last Saturday delivered the first of
his four set lectures in Europe. He
spoke on Citizenship in Repub
lie" His audience was composed
largely of the faculty and students
OF the University, with hundred
or more distinguished outsiders
from Frances men Of letters. The
lecture was in French, though up
TO the last moment English was ex-
pected.
The distinguished American gave
expression to many truisms and
epigrams, of which the following are
some OF the most striking:
The credit belongs to the man
who is actually in the arena, whose
is married by dust and sweat
and blood.
Shame on the man of cultivated
tastes who permits refinement to
develop into a fastidiousnesS that
,fits him for doing the rough work
OF a workaday world.
The everyday qualities and vir-
tues include the will and the power
to work, to fight at need and to have
plenty OF healthy children.
The greatest OF all curses is the
curse of sterility, and the severes
of all condemnations should be visit
cd upon wilful sterility."
The first essential in any civ
ilization is that the man and the wo
man shall be the father and tn
mother OF healthy children, so tina
the race shall increase and not de
crease.
IF we of the great republic
bring down upon our heads th
curse that comes upon the wilfull
barren, then it will be an idle was
of breath to prattle of our achiev
menus.
There is little place in acti'
life for the timid good man"
The good citizen in republ
must, first of all, be able to hold b
own"
Each man should have compile
liberty to lead his life as he desire
provided only that in so doing
does not wrong his neighbor.
IF the choice must be for W
that right shall prevail, strO
and virile people must answ
Yea whatever the cost.
The idler, at whichever end
the social scale he stands, is but
object Of contempt and derision. "
