Distinguished Atlanta Divine la Ac cused of Heresy, Based Upon a Lecture Which he Delivered Some Time Ago.—The Objectionable Part of the Lecture. Newnan, Nov., 23—Keen interest is taken by Methodistss everywhere in the annual session of the North Georgia conference begun here today owing to the announcement that the charges of heresy against Rev. Dr. H. .Stiles Bradley, of Atlanta, who has recently accepted a call from St. John’s church, SL Louis, are to be laid before the conference for consid eration and action. The sermon which it is claimed gives ground for the principal charge against the min ister, was preached by Dr. Bradley in 1902, at Wesleyan Female college. Preaching from the text: “If, when we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.” Dr Bradley spoke in part as follows: ’jfci “The Apostle Paul’ the merit and influent of Jesus harmonizes with'Jesus’ state ment about fils death He says that the 'loath tf Jesus reconcile^ ns fn ' Goo, and rut Gocf, '<•.b Sim- n(k*essary <l>r Jeansjl doo Peabody's Gift Accepted. The board of trustees cf the Uni versity of Georgia met in Atlanta the past week and transacted considera ble routine business, but 'Its most important action was the acceptance of a gift from George Foster Poabody of 399 acres of land, the same being part of the proposed university cam pus extension and comprising what 4s known as the Whitehead and Carlton farms, for which Mr Peabody paid in cash $22,500 . The proposed campus extension in all Includes 540 acres and since, through the beneficence of Mr. Pea body, 399 acres of this have been ob tained there remains but 141 acres to be acquired to complete the cam pus extension. The city of Athens has already raised $1 1,000 toward this and enough of the university alumni fund has been loaned to the annexa tion movement to guarantee the pur chase of the whole area which Is un der option. For Stabbing Another. Deputy J. R. Wisenbaker, who is doing service during court, went out near the Byrd Hightower place yes terday to arrest a negfo named John Williams, who was accused of stab bing another negro. The warrant against Williams was sworn out by been 1 ’*-moment tijflfr'hliipiy of the humaAA/ace when .but ntfher has not been the be*tl$iend of each in- .dividual In the -early chapters of Genesis we find the record of an ev erlasting covenant between God and man. Even after the story of the first sin. when the curse was pronounced the words immediately following are 'For thy sake, cursed be the ground for thy sake.’ “In other words, after a fall from innocence, the best thing is work. When wo remember Christ's words about the Father as loving us more tenderly and wisely thnn nn earthly father loves his children, we are sur prised that any one can think of God as become so infuriated with out first parents, because of their disobedience that he refused to love or make friends with them, and that he trans ferred his hate to their offspring and to their offspring’s offtfspring, from generation to generation till hundreds of millions of human being came Into existence suffering out their brief time and were damned; that God looked on all the time, and, in the sweetness of revenge, refused to stop the Interminable prqcesslon Into hell; that he persistently refused to make terms with man till he had gutted his vengeful heart with his sons blood Is not scriptural. It is unreas onable. It ia a picture of a mon- sterou8 demon and not of Jesus, the Christ.” The charges of heresy brought against Dr. Bradley were fully consid ered and discussed as without foun dation by the board of stewards of Trinity church, Atlanta, of which he is pastor, and their revival at this time Is declared by the friends of the accused minister as savoring of per secution At the same time they wnl- come the proceeding as likely to clear Dr. Bradley once and for. all.
