He birtea tile ground that a belief in the doctrine of the Trinity is of sort of consequence. As far as he is, personallreoncerned, he admits that lie rather Relieves in the doctrine, since it is taught in the Scriptures, and _it is hence rather easier to ac cept it than to reject it. Still, he, calls it downright' 'heathenism" to rennin a belief 'nit tea prerequisite to church membership- -Now, It 'is ' tear that if the Seriptures are a'rev e ation floth GOD; any. doctrine taught: therein&-Its Mr, &ober as: e \ Tes that the doctrine of the Trin i is—must .be of divine origin. Of courge,,lfe does notinean to say that wht 06D teaches it doctrine it is of no semtende whether We belietti or not,: Jleiice he nitist reject, the theory 'at the Bible is a diyine, re-, yelation, "'nd that it has any super /natural au ority whatever. 'Having th s abolished the inspira tion of the raptures,. Mr. Beecher \ greatly simPliti a the task of abolish inghell. It is no longer necessary for hini to rove that the Scriptures do'not assert the existence of hell, and that all - the supposed allusions to that unpleasant place are . purely igurative. Whether the existence of hell itor is not taught in the Scripturesjs a.matter of indifference pi\ to the P 1 oth preacher. In fact he virtually - admits that it is so taught. Speaking o; Adam's fall, he remarks; "It la said that Adam sinned, and in ebnsequenee of that sin the whole human race fell," A!- though he does not filly Where this is ,said, but mentions it a s' though it were a current ;rbor \Of unknown - origin, he _knows that, - "it,is said" in the Bible, and that no seet profess ing to recogaize the nispirotion of the entire Bible dreams of denying it. Being thus of Scriptural Orig,in, the doctrine of the falls and of\tlie consequent punishment of sinners; is, like the doctrine of the Trinity, a matter of no sort Cif I consequence We cannot be required- to belie'-e either in the Trinity, the fall, or the existence of hell, since none of them has any better authority , ,than the collection of ancient writtleos com monly called the Old and New Tes tament, . All obstacles being thus - - cleared out of his way, Mr. Beech( r rejects the doctrines of the existence of hell with immense enthusiasm: If Goo erea - ed hell, he asserts that he is "a monster more hideous ihan 'Satan himself." Essentially the same re mark has frequently been made _by avowed disbelievers , in revelation, and it has generally been -s4natiz ed by pious people 'as blas'phem ' y,. Now that it is reiterated by a minis ter in good atanding in the Congre gation denomination; it, of course; loses any possible taint of blasphemy and must, be regarded as an eloquent statement of religious truth. Other langtage, equally forcible,, is used. by the, great preacher and if there really was a hell, there is L no doubt that, out of 'respect to. Mr. Beecher's eloquent remarks, it would be proMpt ly abolished. _ e • I:4 •.• I) • P-4 11#31,111p1101'. Unlike. many other inventors of new religions, Mr. Beecher does not claim to have any- personal inspira tion of his own. In throwing oter board the doctrine of the ins iration of the Bible. he doei not attempt to' supply its place with a n‘w Plymouth Bible—wtth.the word "not" omitted from the .commandments. The. new and only rule of faith and practice - is his private' taste. He does not like the theory that there is a hell for the pubishment • of hoypoctites, adult erers, -perjurers, and -often, criminals, and accordingly he disbelieves •B. like Manner, if Ahere is any other , doctrine of Christianity which seems • Ito him -unpleasant , tir inconvenient, he can reject it,. any can substitute • in its place and theory of his own which may happen to strike his fancy. This constitutes . his new religion, one of the easiest and = most enjoy able that has yet been invented, and its great superiority to ri.Thristitinity • wi.l be at once recognized by , all .who find ' themselves 'cramped and restrained, by the latter. Fortunate 4 fy, Mr. Beecher had not promulgat ed his ,new „religion•at the time when he last occupied the witness-stand in &court of law. Had it then been understood that he rejected Christ ianity, and disbelieved in the future punishment of perjurers, it might ' have somewhat affected the influence of his testimony upon the Minds of the jurors. At that time it was ex pressly, understood that he believed inhell, and he had even asserted in one orbia letters that he had suffer ed "the tortures of the damned." That, of course, was—like all the rest Of his curious correspondence--a purely figurative assertion, for , if there is no hell no one can be damn. ed, and no one can suffer tortures appropriate to the damned. Although Mr. Beecher's religion is a novelty in its relation: to the creed of the religious bo dy'with which he is still connected, it has of ten before been preached by pbre Rationalists. This probably explains why - he has latterly spoken with so much respect of the 'church of Roble. He has doubtless recogniz ed so true the favorite Ratiqualist proverb that " there is nci half way betweea„ Rome and Reason." 2 He respects the: Roman Catholic Church because its asimmption of infallibility makes its teaching logical and con eistent, but he despises-,orthodox- Protestantism 'because, having re jected ari infallible chntch, it still clings to an infallible boob, and in sists that reason must _bow to revel ation. The ItomanCatholic who' has committed adultery or . perjury or any othel crime caas,t)btain ab. solution from the priest l, the Ra tionalist sinner need not; s trouble himself concerning, the consequence *A his crime, since he but in ihthre punishment ; but the ortbodox Protestant'who commits grave crimes suffers from the dread of hell. Mr: Beecher does not care to embrace Romanism, bat he secures peace of mind by embracing Rationalism and there is no doubt' that is so - dbing he proves himself a wise- and pru dent rnan.--.New York 'Times. • Liitas xossuini ex-GOvernor of Rungar3rOlomes out of his "long ob. sOrity contiibute an - article to the Contemporary Bevitio on 4.Atus• idap Aggresslon.". ,N TENSILNDIELINTIN IN NNIV:1011N. ikaarE l P l ooW. l44 . rife-,A 00 1 1 * tali: • 'AO* , ~ s liitheioelksi7. illmiamiirwei • ",2z , , - - Aldititct frobi tear that At o'clodlr kestetay after: lidoli 'titifielidolis red Under the sidewalk in front of Greehfleld ik Sims. * *holeledn confee tioneryi at NE 66 Baitilao , street; and almdst niiiitediatzly the entire hrciwn stofie iroat of the five story building crifilkhleo,t,O tifebeigleging .ilOwti•the ticieral.floors q that thit. biaiiis of each fouled a%.

Barclay street. The, upper doors were used for packing and storage purposesoind the' first floor was used as a salesmom. 'Accounts differ as to the number of persons in the building ut the tithe of the explo rsion. he firm usually employs about 150 hands, but it is Claimed that on Saturday .last about half that number were temporarily taken Off,.and only about 80 who wire skilled in the manutlicturc of koliday specialties retained. These were busily at work attending to their respective duties. Nearly all were in the btrilding where the , explosion oceured, the College place building being 'comparatively deserted. The proprietor and his two sons were . ; in the office ;; on the ground floor, and a number'of ens - - touters were in the show-room, mak ing purchases.. The disaster caine "upon these peoPle without the sight ei • warning, and they were suffocat ed with smoke, scalded with huge volu es of eseapinn steam, and -sur round by ffire Lbefore they could gather heir ,!wits ~about. them suffi ciently \ appreciate their danger.

Many persons'" rustic 'lre-escap es in the rear c ags, .and made their wa3 1 College-place. 1 to the front andiacrar re bel ped over the pile c 2maining frilim the fallen walls. S ,Otties. on the upper floors were cut off by . tic de &tending:beams, and, were emit Iled to crawl aloilg as best-they migh to either side. .• Some succeeded in making thei way' to where they could signalize their prOsence-to the excited crowd that had' gathered from -every direr. tion : fi - Two or three on the lower floors jumped into the street. OtherS on the upper 'floors Were rescued by means of ladders 'through the heroic exertions of brave men.. All these latter were more or less burned. or i.njuried. They were taken to adjoin; ing drug stores and subsequently re ; ,' mowed ambulances : to New York; Bellevue, or Chambers Street hospi tal. It is 4 .believecl . that a number were unable to get out, and periShed in the flames. The lire quickly - .extended/ to the College-place building, and/ also to No. 61, on the east, and INCA: 65, 67 and 69, on the west, and before it was under control these had been completely demolished/ . •The Gro cer's Bank, on the corner of ,Barclay street arid' College-place, • withstood the flames until a late hour, and then only - the two uppey,fioors succumbed, although the-remainder of the build ing was , badly/damaged by water. There is hardly an edifice on the en tire -block boUnded by College-place, Barclay street, Greenwich street and. Dark-place/thatis' not more or less injured. / . At 5:45 o'clock .the iron front of No. 61/ fell with, a loud crash.. The firemen had just been ordered to en ter the building,-and were-preparing to do so..A minute later and a- large number of them would have been killed: The debris went clean across the street and -crashed against Lis comb's coffee and, spice -mill, every pane of glass in whieli had previous-' ly Been broken by the explosion. At 8 o'clock the fire was well Under con trol. At 8:20 the double -building 505.,65" and 67 Barclay •-street fell in With a loud crash, filling - the air with clouds Of dust that darkened the sky forneverul minutes. The noise- was so"great as to be distinctly heard at Broadway i ,' and. hundreds near . the scene rushed back innfright. The engineer of Greenfield Broth ers' factory," Philip Hertzback, could not be found last night. It was generally supposed that he bad per-. Tarioui,eauses are assigned for the explosion . .. It said that one of the boilers -was an old one,, And at least one person chains to have warned Greenfield against its continued. - use:4 , , It is also stated that. the engineer his before this been found asleep . alongside his engine. But none of these reports • could be verified last night. *, . The" Lower In3urancePatr.2l:•were promptly on the ground, and:lender ed effective assistance in rescuing persons-from the blazing building..' - Every pane of, glass for blocks around Was shattered by the explo- . sion: It is s miracle that a/great many passers=by ere not killed.
