Confession of Faith. In the Free Church Assem-
bly, very decided action was taken in the case Of
Prof. Smith Of the Free Church College OF Aber-
deem. The case is this: Prot Smith, who is
member of the English Bible Revision Committee,

views Of the inspiration of the historical books
The matter was referred to the Presbytery of Aber
deem, but no action was taken. DR.. Wilson offered
in the Assembly resolution declaring that the ar
tice in question contains statements Of a danger
Gus and unsettlng tendency" aud suspending
Pref Smith as a teacher Of Theology until the case
is investigated. All efforts to modify this resolu-
ton failed and after a spirited debate it was car

BUFFALO LITHIA WATERS.
A Very Striking Testimonial to the Virtue of
these Waters from the Piedmont Vir
pinian." BY Dr. G. W. RagbV

TDr. Bagby, the Assistant stste Librarian, is a
gentleman Of culture and high standing, well,
known and popular Lecturer His statements will
be received without question by those who know
him.-ED. Cen. PRES.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1877-06-27

"In proof of the virtue of these Waters we cite
the following facts which came within oar OWn OBJ
seruation ois
l. A lady, suffering from terrible attack of Nau'
sea, which threatened her life, found it impossible
to retain anything on her stomach Solids and Ii
guilds were alike rejected, and even cracked ice
could not be retained. But the Lithia Water from
Spring No. proved almost specific for the nausea
incident to pregnancy, it may be remarked afford
ing indispensable comfort and relief, and speedily
effecting complete cure
II. A lady who for many years had been afflicted
with Angina PsctoriS, one Of the most acutely pain
full malades to which the human frame is liable,
found in the water of Spring No. 2, not indeed a
complete cure, but remedy which averted the at
tacks and made life once more pleasure. She be-
lieves that the exclusive of the water, could she
afford it, would exempt her from all future suffering.
III. A lady who had been treated for Neuralgia
by, perhaps, the ablest physician in Richmond, and
man of unbounded fertility of resource, after ex-
hausting the whole range of tonics, anodynes and
alternatives was induced to try Lithia Water from
Spring No. l. 1t acted like charm accomplished
a cure in very short time.
All of these cases we vodth for, and, if called
upon, will give the names aud residences of the
parties"
