The Committee on Creeds.

1t will be remembered that the great
Council of Presbyterian Churches which
held its sessions in Philadelphia last
autumn, appointed as its most important
od interim committee, one to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of defining those words in its
constitution Consensus of the Reformed
Confessions" to which consensus every
constitutional Church represented in the
Council is bound to submit before it can
enter and be recognized. This committee
is composed Of three sections: British.
Continental, and American. The Amer
lean section met in New York on the
End of this mouth. 1t is composed of
thirteen members from the States and
Canada. The Southern Church was rep
resented by DR.. J. R. Wilson, the North
ern Church by such men as Drs. Schaff.
Morris, Schedd and Hodge, and the Can
adam Church by Principal Gavin, of
Toronto. The section was in session
about four hours in all, and finally, after
some very striking addresses, unanimous
~ resolved to report to the Chairman of
the Joint committee (Rev. Dir. Cairns. of
Scotland), that it advised formulation,
of said concensus, or, in other words.
the statement, in separate articles, of
the common doctrines contained there
in, the doctrines to be interpreted lin the
historic a. e-Calvinistic) sense. So
that, if the advice of the American Gee
ton shall meet with the approval of the
two other sections, the next Council will
probably present itself to the world with
a re1eeaoed testimony, taken from the
sacred past, Of that Pauline theology on
which Presbyterianism has grown so
large and greatly. c. Presbyterian.

The Everlasting Yea.

The Everlasting Yea.
BY MARGARET j. PRESTON
The first recorded words that brake
Across the silent Eden air
The first that lips created spake
To man, the sinless dweller there
Were words of covert doubt that yelled
Denial in their cautious breath
Right subtly, or they else had failed
To lure their listener on to death.
" Yea, hath God said'"-One carping thought
Dropped with the tempter's sinuous slur
Into the startled soul, and caught
With strange assent, had power to stir
Such dread negation, that its force
Was strong in might to overthrow
Faith at the races fountain source,
And whelm a skeptc world in woe.
Yea, hath God sa;d9" The primal doubt
Wrought through the earliest sophists skill,
Is flung, like some new question, out
From the last lip that cavils, STILL
Its echo sinks and swells along
The ages, with spell accurst;
Now arrogant defiant, strong
Now cunning crafty as at first.
And fast and far the lava. food
Will roll its ruin deep and broad,
Unstayed by even atoning blood
Till the millennium of God
Then shall the unavailing Nay
Uttered in Eden first, become,
Before the Everlasting Yea
Breathed in the olive garden, dumb
For God hath said, and he will show
His word confirmed all worlds before,
Till the whole universe shall know
HIS Yea is Yea, forevermorel

If God does not forsake the work OF
His hands let us not forsoke the aooyk OF
oar hands. Are you laboring for Him
Whether your efforts are directed to the
sick or the young, the poor or the family
circle, cleave to it. Frequently we allow
difficulties to destroy our zeal, and our
cottage gives way before strenuous oppo-
sition. BE not weary in well-doing.
Resemble the sun-Aower which follows
the sun on cloudy as well as bright days
I'm due season ye shall reap if we faint
not

An election to the British Parliament
costs something According to recent
estimate, the ordinary expenses at the
last election were for only few con-
stituencies, viz City of London, SIS. 900 :;
Greenwich, over $4,000; Southwark,
$50 900; South Essex, 100000; Middle
sex, $4,000; Yorkshire, over $25O,OOO !;
Durham, $230,000 Zone candidate paid
$4,000; Montgomeryshire, 100000.
And this was not the entire cost in either
of these cases.

Now, how will this new condition of things

pursuit of fame becomes more hopeless, and
