OIIR LETTER FROM TOROITO
WHAT IS ENGAGING THE ATTENTION
Or THE CITIRENe JUST NOW.
Th00 ToesIongs of Professor Jackson
Glees Offense to SoMs—Sir Janie*
Whitney,' Present.
Professor George Jackeen, W,11080 ,
lone have been again ereating 00, n kr 9'
VOr8y, has been the stormy petrel or the-
ology io , Canada ever eine() hie _arrival
aOme Mac or seven. -years ago. neenas
Professor Jackson, One would never for
a moment •suspect that there was any-
thing stormy- about him. Re hi a milcl-
naannered gentleman of the soholarlY
type, almost different in manner and ap-
parently shrinking from • the publioity
whiela hi opinioninevitably bring him,.
illere IS no doubt, however, that he to a
man of great mental „force and Canada
will lose intellectual color by reason of
Ma departure, which is to • take place
almost, immediately. •
In Sherborne Street Church.
Prefesaor Jackson came to Toronto from
the Britieh Wesleyan Conference as a loan
for a three -year -term as pastor of Sher-,
bourne $t. Methodist •Olturch, • probably
the most erase -same) congregation in the
Methodist denomination in Toronto. lm -
mediately his sermons, told particularly
his addresees th his Sunday afternoon
Bible Class began to attract attention.
Itumore reached the ears of the stric1
disciplinarians, who decided, that action
should be taken. Though Professor Jack.
sou has maintained that his addrceses
Were semi -private and not intended for
Publicatioli, excepting in book"-formy'stePe
were taken to secure shorthand, reports.
The publication of one . of these an the
local prees- iirouaed a etorna of contro-
versy. The Matter linallY went before
the Tiarento Conference, -where, after a
disettesion lasting several days, wbich
the most heated arguments and state-
ments were- used, Dr_ • ja.ekson's , friends
carne,dut •on -top, thua averting any -di-
Tea discussion in the larger arena, of
the 'general—Methodist Contreton of .0a,n-
At the conclusion of his pasitorate at
Sherbourne Street, a place was made for
him at Vactoria College, his appointment
being th the chair ,of, the English Bible.
Now, after feur years' service there, he
is returning to England.
A Lovable Man.
By those •whO know him. best, Profes-
sor Jackson is deecribed a$ a moot lov-
able man. „The teaching which is most
strongly assailed is that, concerning the
histormal and 6cieutifle value -of the de-'
scriptien of the oreation of the world In
the else chapters of Genesis and of some
of the other incidents of the Old Testa-
ment. There has also been some question
as to his teaching concerning the fain,.
bility of Christ. Naturally, his disciiii-
sion of these points gave offense to those
who accept the literal inspiration of -the
Holy Scriptures. His critics have not he-
sitated to deseribe him as a "destroyer
of faith and hope." Plis friends bitter-
ly resent any such comment. He has
ehown the capacity of arousing the warm-
est loyalty, both by reason of Me intel-
lectual powers and his personal (realities.
• The latest controversy arose from a
newspaper report of one of his addresses.
This, Dr. Jackson maintaing, was abee-
lutely unfair, misleadingand inaccurate.
His general attitude iFf that it is only in
book form that such discnseions as he
has to offer should be given broadcast to
the public. This gives ample opportu-
nity to make hie 'meaning clear and en=
sures perusal under ojrcumstances where
readers will not get false impressions
through hfiety understanding. • Ilis pubis'
cations now -,rfin up towards a dozen
volumes.

When Toronto Was Captured.
Toronto has so little history di a ro-
mantic sort that considerable attention
is being paid to the events of 100 years
tihi
go this month,when, for a short time,
e town was n the possession of the
Americans. The chief incidents of that
memorable action • were the landing of
the American forces at a point Just west
of the present Exhibition Grounds, about
where the new Sunnyeide Station stands,
the blowing up of a powder -magazine at
the olci fort, • with the consequent de-
struction of a large number of Ameri-
cans and the burning of many public
buildings, including the parliament house
„of that day, which stood on the Bay
front near tht foot, of the prenent
Farlia-
Inont Street. The Canadians were over-
powered by numbers, there being some-
thing like 600 British regulars and Ca-
nadian militia, while the American forc;
es numbered about 2,400 strong. The
smallness of these figures show e las how
cnir ideas of warfare have changed in
the past century. Historically, there has
always been controversy as to whether the
magazines were blown.,im by accident or
by design of the Canadians. In the seg-
o:Al explosion, 'Goberal Pike, who was in
command of the invading forces, was
among the number blown up.

BAD
.BLAZE AT .ENGLEIIARI
Fir., Wipes Out the -Wooden Blocks, Causing a Loss
Estimated at $125,000
A des'patch from Cobalt- sa.ya:
The 'entire 'business section of the
town of Englehart was wiped off the
map early on 'Sunday Morning by
fire which made its way through the
wooden blocks that formed the main
_business section and left two entire
town blocks bare, born the corner
of Fourth Avenue andeThird Street
west to Fifth Avenue on both sides,
and from the same corner north
and south one block each way on
the west aide of the street. Not a
building stands to mark the busiest
section of the town It was with
difficulty that the large King Edward
Hotel was saved, and although it
was on fire Many times volunteer
firemen assisted greatly. Had it
caught fire during the, conflagration
what little of the section of the
town was left would to -day also be
in .as.h es.
The loss is conservatively esti-
mated at $125,000, with less than
00,000 insurance to cover this. In
all twenty-two buildings fell a prey
to the flames, inclnding some thirty
stores, and to -day the town is with-
out a ,single grocery store, a but-
cher shdp, bakery or drug store,
and it is necessary to .s.end out to
other towns in the district for the
daily necessaries of life.
