He Leaves the Episcopal nnd Unites with the Christian Church A Sensation in Religious Circle Other Struts New Restaurant üurned tt Franklin Ilevlvale In Jackson County K'ectinc a Postmaster Frs S-pllHng Coming Wedding Sudden Death A Urateruan" Critical Situation. Columbus, April 1G. Special. The Rev. J. Gorton Miller, who ha9 been the paator of St. raul's episcopal church here for the last two years, informed L13 congregation today that he had concluded to rast hit lot with the Christian church. Tho announcement has caused a sensation in religious circles. He stated, in taking leave 0! hia congregation, that tho doctrines of tho cuurch did not possess tho broal, liberal ideas to be found in the disciples of Christ or Christian church, and hence he bad drifted from hid episcopalian bearing. Tho Lev. Mr. Miller is an able minister. He haa teen sixteen rears in the pulpit, in the preeideut of the city ministerial association, a knight templar, aodakoa member of the G. A. 11. It is tho biggest turpriee ever sprung in religious circles in this citv. Mr. Miller's fa'.l remarks vrere as follows : As I said before, the is probably the last tirjs tüat i l.a 1 u .ic ax- ia this church, and s 1 have ask.ed my fiier.J", or at lant those who care to kr.ow something ahout my plans enJ purpose tor ti.- futate, tu ren.f.iii, n 1 hare a lew word to say to them ia ccuc.usion. I litre given ncariy s'xtcen of the best yean of tay life to tue miuistry of the episcopal enurcb, and can tru.y say that i Iiuts Ii 1 & fair measure of scess therein, ts services and ct. to mi have, through lone and familiar usage, become to ma almost a second nature and woven into the texture of i.iy life. And so, it in only a;: r a Li .4 end painful an I T.roT;-rfi:l truciriv between hahituda and convict oa that I am euab'ed to sneak as 1 shall today. Hat 1 hsve for so ue tii'.i felt myself to be driiting from the po-itioa hela by the chureh ia some of its distinctive points and rgper.inl.y as regards the methods cf its cdmiiiistiation. IV nceiving os 1 do that the epub-.o'io succession is ri'.hera thing of tlia p rit t!.u; of historis pedigree I feel bound to say tht 1 am full in line with th church oa this point. Not t.'iat there is ai 7 wavering on üiy part in the e.-senthilt of tl.e l.lui'liHn faith, llat tbat faith is really a vt-ry simple thou aud My hold upou the Christ is stronger au'l clearer todv, il pos;u!, than ever before. I woUid only Ly üiido those things widen are snpposeo t? be props c:d buttrrea to faith, thai the Christ himself may be more manifest as the rad art w.W of the soul's derouon.
