JULIET. Ill, Sept. JO. (Special.)
Dr. Charles It Btuart. editor of the
Northwestern Christian Advocate, offi

the Middle 'West, and president-elect of
Garrett Biblical Institute, who was
elected a ministerial delegate to the
general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, will be tried for
heresy by the Hock River conference
for his teachings and writings. If
charges made by Pr. William Henry
Burns are taken up by the conference.
For more than two years Dr. Burns
has been charging that both In the
classroom and In the editorial columns
of the Northwestern Christian Advo
cate Dr. Stuart has been uttering
thoughts which are rapidly undermln
Ing the belief of Methodists to such an
extent that there Is a real crisis.
Home of the specific charges of Pr.
Rurm are:
"Iestroylng the primitive scriptural
foundation of morals by throwing
doubt upon the decalogue as a moral
code.
"Ruling out Sunday observance as a
moral obligation.
"Sua-aeetlne- that an ecclesiastical
body and a legislator may deviate from
the scriptural stanuard regaraing mar
riage and divorce to suit special con
dlttons."
It. Burns adds:
-The conditions are absolutely alarm
Ing. Young men fresh from our theo
logical schools are preacmng mo
myths of miracles;" denying the Im
maculate conception and the physical
resurrection of Jesus: preaching a sen
ond probation and ridiculing as an

devil" and the Genesis account of the
creation. All who maintain me oia
doctrines are ridiculed as "old fogy and
moss grown." Thus many men are car
