I* piERSMST. PETER'S
iH^lThft largest congregation of the
H Week ^greeted Rev. Mr. Matthews at
Hi; 8t. Peter's church last night. The
HI service was reverent and impressive,
lei *nd the sermon ohe which will never
Ei be forgotten in the lifetime of those
who heard it. Tho m^siouer took
aa his text the 19th verse or the &tb
t chapter of the Gospel according to St.
Matthew: "Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these last cose>
mandments, and shall teach men so
. he shall be called the least in the
kingdom of heaven; but whosoever
shall do and teach them, the same
lat shall btf called great In the kingdom
fir. of heatin." The speaker first showed
why.^our evangelists wrote th#
gospel, instead of one account being
sufficient?how each one. Matthew.
?? Mark, Luke and John, covered a different
phase of the Saviour's life and
ministry, and how the four separate
accounts are necessary to a proper
understanding of Christ's mission.
Then reverting to the text, he took
the ten commandments one by one.
[J and clearly, concisely and vigorously
[V analysed them, bringing out many
new thoughts and fearlessly showing
up the evils to which men are prone
30 to close their eyes and ears,
es- It waaf.a sermon such as is rarely
for heard here, and it is unfortunate that
the whole body of our cltixeua could
he not have hoard it.

KRESIBENT-ELECT WIISM
BHBS TAfilFF DEBATE "
Hamilton', Bermuda; Dec. 4^?
I Wood row Wilson heard yesterday the '
I first tariff dlscuaaion since his elecI
tion as President of the United
I States. He visited the Bermuda ParI
liament whore he was cheered and
I sat among the members for three
I hours listening to the debate on (be
I vegetable schedules and observing
I the methods of budget legislation.
I m reply to the welcome extended Mr.
I .Wilson said:
I "I have been Interested In theI
?>??. thinking th.t If w pv.rT liar
went through the items of expenditure'and
revenue for 12 months
there would be a ooneffiftous performance
which would/excel anything
the theaters could ever produce. Bat
the idea Is an admirable one, because
It affords the House a constant opportunity
to review the changing circumstances
of the colony. I have
'admired the businesslike manner of
getting through the estimates."
While walking from Government
House, Mr. Wilson said he thought
that a yearly revision of the American
tariff schedules Buch as obtains
in Bermuda would bo Impracticable.
It would be impossible to discuss the
estimates and revenue simultaneously
but be wlBhed the United States
would adopt some budget scheme.
The President-elect was a prlnel- ?
pal in a "flrst-aid" case this morning.
He rescued a honeymoon couple
who fell from their bicycles in front
ot his house. The bride was slightly
Injured and one of Mr. Wilson's
daughters assisted in bathing her
wounds.
yeachment
e R. W. Archbald
The managers appointed Jay the
House to prosecute the ca^e before
the Senate asked for an immediate
trial last August, but the Senate declined
to hasten lta consideration of
the case. During the last week
acores of subpoenacs were issued for
witnesses who will be brought before
the Senate by the House managers
and by Judge Archbald's attorneys
Iq concoction with the trial.
After the House Committee on
Judiciary had concluded ita hearings
j last spring it recommended that
Judge Archbbhl be railed before the
Sonhte under impeachment proceedings.
The last time the House had
exercised its Impeachment powers
was in 1904 when Judge Bwane.
United States Judge for the Northern
district of Florida, was called to
account for misconduct and was acquitted
by the Sonata.
In presentln gthe cose to the
House Representative Clayton said
that the Judiciary Committee was>of
opinion that Judge Archbald't "sense
of moral responsibility had become
deadened" and that he had "prostituted
his high office for personal v
profit. The principal charge grew
oat of the Katydid Culm Bank deal.
In this charge It waa asserted that
while the Erie Railroad Company
bad pending berore the Commerce
Court two suits. Judge Arcbbald corruptly
taking advantage of hie ofQcta
position, induced the officials of
the Hillside Coal and Iron Company
and of the Brie Railroad, which owned
that company, to agree to aell the
coal company's lntereta In the Katy
did dump to Judge Arcbbald and Edward
J. Williams. JZ ' , ; '
In bit answer Judge Arcbbald denied
that ha bad acted corruptly or ft
bad taken advantage of hi phesltlon.
