the deliverance of the assembly of 1878,
upon the validity of Catholic baptism.
The following was eventually adopted:
ResolUed, That this assembly is in full
accordance with the words of our confession
of faith respecting the Church of Rome,
and do now reafirm our deiverance upon
this subject of the assembly of 1885, as
applying to the Romish hierarchy, headed
by the Pope, falsely claiming to be the
church, which is opposed absolutely and
lrreconcilably to the doctrines of the Holy
Scripture, is corrupting and degrading a
large part of Christs church over which il
has usurped supreme control.
After adopting the usual com plimentary
resolutions the assembly adjourned.

1t has been said that "the blood is the

Of disease and death. No life, that is to
say, no healthy tissue can be generated
from impure blood, no organ of the body
can normally perform its functions when
supplied with impure blood The fluid
that should carry life and health to every
part, carries only weakness and disease.
Blood is the source Of life only when it is
