ETERNAL PUNISHMENT.
The Peculiar Views of an Ex -Anglican
(Now Baptist) Clergyman.
coMPELLED RESIGN.
Some months ago the Rev. Wm. Bros:A-
men received and accepted a call to the
pastorate of the Yorkville Baptist Church.
Mr. Brookman had up to a then
recent period been a clergyman of good
standing iu the Anglican Church, but had
resigned his charge iii St. Catharines and
seceded front the Anglican cerumunion ou
account of hie. avowed inability to accept
the doctrines of the Church on the subject
of the regeneration of infants and infant_
baptism in general. He wrote to -Bishop
Fuller, ids diocesan, a very candid letter
announcing his secession and this letter,
first published in a local newspaper, went
the round of the Canadian. press.
When Mr. Brookman was called to
the Yorkville , Baptist, Church, he
frankly admitted that he did not accept
the doctrine of the .. eternity of future
punishment, and in consequence of this
admission the " Council " which, accord-
ing to Baptist ecclesiastical procedure, was
selected to consider tile proposed induo•
tion, was not unanimous as to the expo.
dieney of accepting him. Rev. J. Donovan,
of the Alexander Street Church, was one
of the objectors, while, after it conference
with Mr. Brookman, Rev. Dr. Castle, Rev.
J. Dyke and: others, constitutiog a
majority of the "Council," agreed to sec-
oed-the earnest desire of - tlie majority of
the congregation to have birn for their
pastor. The peculiar views of Mr. Brook,
man, and tbe want of unanimity amongst
the -members of the "Council," were
brought before the public ineidentally by
Rev. Mr. Donovan, who, at the congrega-
tionalmeeting held to .v.?eloome the new
pastor, Stated that though he had been
averse to accepting one holding the peculiar
views of Mr. Brookman; he was -.not
disposed to withhold froth him the right
hand of "ministerial fellowship. - The:can-
sequence of this publieity was it keen and
sustainedcontroyersy in the columns of the
C,aniidien. Baptist., in which . several Mein-.
here of -the "Council "took ipad. The net

On Thursday evening in Yorkville Baptist
Church,6 meeting was held to consider the -
resignation ,of :Rev. Mr.. -Brookman, the.
pastor: - Oyerthe_ preliminary . proceedings
Mr.:. Brookman presided,' - lie had nothing,
he said, to -conceal as t� his views, and
although_ it, mightentail a considerable -
pecuniary sacrifice, he must .be -faithful to
is ooniietionn:Of-; duty and. ,- his *ie.Ws of.

claimed also to -have -the -Biblical warrant
or admitting to 'the -Lord's table all WhO
had made profession of their faith in
Saviour irrespective of themarrowlines-,:of ,
creed and dogma:-
Mr, Brookman then left the Meeting, the
chair beingtaken by Mr. john Stark. .. •.- - '
-...It Was. '-ulOved and s:seconded - that the
resignation- of .:thci.-Rev..,11r;;Dro041-nall be '
accepted. - l'Iovedand'Spuonded.s.inamentl-;
ment that the. resignation Of Mr. Brookman
be not aecepted, butin_ -csonsideraticin of the
'great spiritual benefits :received from his
teachings be to reconsider his
determination.- A keen and prolonged die-
l..e:11- esshirtie9Boydf:111161"-e.-0- Po.ker:fit.' .. fa:Ye; Of . tho-
motion; .He thought that Much ttfir_they
,might etiteeni Mr. • Brookman - as - a' man,
they could not afford to countenance the.,
promulgation from the pulpit of such views
as those to whioh he had given expression.
It was clearly their duty to insist upon an
adherence to thedootrinal standards of the
Church. No one bolding much opinions as
those entertained by Mr. Brookman should
remain in miuisterial charge of a Baptist
church-, and as Mr.Brookman had tendered
his resignation he trusted that it would be
accepted.
Mr.Weston spoke in favor of the amend-
ment. He hoped that the church would
not place a premium upon hypocrisy by
ousting the pastor for giving expressiou to
his honest thoughts.
Mr. John Carter supported the resolu-
tion, urging that as Mr. Brookman had
positively declared his non-acceptance of
the orthodox etitudards of faith the church
could not possibly sustain him in his depar-
ture therefrom without virtually abandon-
ing the creed of their fathers.
Finally after a protracted discussion the
amendment WILI4 put and declared lost by a
vote of 28 to 25, and the original motion
was declared carried by the same vote. It
was then moved that the resignation of
Mr. Brookman take effect forthwith.
It was moved in amendment that it take
effect on the first Sabbath in August.
The amendment was carried by a vote of
33 to '21 and the Meeting adjourned.

But to be perfect she must Wear
A stylish now spring bonnet.
Satin its strings, modest its plume,
A poke of broad dimensions,
. Thus should the bonnet fairly match
Its wearer's sweet pretensions;
-And when she shines with all her charms,
Casting their glow upon it,
Ourbearts awl heads are all bewitched
/3y this fine new spring bonnet.
Although it lady maybe plain --
Yes, ugly as to feature •
Her hair bright red, her eyes light green—
In fact, a homely creature;
Yet if her bonnet is the style -
The ladies dear, they're human, _
Will all exclaim as with one breath,
Oh! whets, charming woman !
We see bright bonnets hero and there
Peep out like sweet spring flowers ,•
.Well they combine the lace and -gold,
Those dainty hats of ours!
And husbands, would you have.On earth
The happiest woman en it,
Take home in May, some pleasant night,'
A styliSh new spring bonnet.
The arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Langtry in
London for the season is noticed in the`
London society papers. ,
