DR.. HILLS rs NOTED
AS PULPIT ORATOR
Called From Chicago d Plymouth
church In ISOo.

The Rev. Newell Dwight Hills was
called to Plymouth Church in January.
1899. from the Central Church of Chi
cago. TO succeed pr. Lyman Abbott He
was then known IN Chicago as q
preacher Of rare ability and a writer o.
books and sermons that had wide popu-
larity.
Dr. Hills wa. born in Magnolia. Ia.
on September .. 1855. lie was grad
uatsd from AXE Forest University In
1854 and later was graduated from the
Mccormick Theological Seminary and
took the degree Of n. n. AZ Northwest
ern University. He was ordained In the
PRESBYTERIAN ministry IN l>S1, and had
been pastor Of two churches before h.
embarked on his career in Plymouth
church that made him widely Known FOR
his radical u~tterances.
lie had not been in Brooklyn p year
before he made an attack on the Pres
byterian faith that caused a ser Sa'ion IN
the presbytcry. lie denied the Calviuist
doctrine Of liberalization In bit terms
and when the presbytery heard OF Il
the members took steps TO place pr.
Hills on trial. He resigned from the
presbytery, but the M MIXERS of the
Plymouth Congregational Church stood
by him.
Or. Hills was also known for his de-
clded views on the negro question and
at one time said that when Booker T
Washington came to speak at his church.
IL he could not frd a hotel wherr he
would he accommodated, he would gladly
ask Washington to his house and deem
il an honor TO make his bed.
In a denunciation OF modern social
conditions in 1903 Dr. Hills said that
a man goes To the devil on sj0.00o a
wear" "Once a man has income Of that
much none a year he H. So apt to for
get, in the same way that a man forge'S
to say grace after he has dined,' he
said.
More recently Or Hills aroused much
criticism AZ the beginning OF the war
by his decided anti-German views. say
ing hat for several months he had felt
that the world must hope for German
defeat.
when the time comes that ! have 10
add God and the devil together and di-
vide by two In the name OF neutrality,

to sacrifice my manhood for what some
people call neutrality"
Or. Hills was called a modern
preacher by Dr Abbott after he had
preached one of his first scrmons in
plymouth Church

The secondary cause Of his recall as
mentioned IN the American note to
Vienna was his giving official papers
to an American citizen, hearing an
American passport. To be carried
through IN" lines Of the enemy This
Washington regarded and ~ character

the Ambassador. and rs an offence on
the part Of the American in question

him otherwise to communicate with his
