Members,

New York PreSbyterianS Denounce the Old
Confession of Faith and Shock Orthodox
Members.
NEw YoRx, Nov. 5.-The Pfesbytery
OF Now York met yesterday in the lee.
ture room Of the Scotch church in West
Fourteenth street, to consider what an.
swer should be returned to the General
Assembly's questions in regard to a re-
vision Of the Westminster confession Of
faith. The afternoon and evening were
spent In discussion, aud at 0:30 p, IN,
this resolution, offered by the Rev. Dr.
Thomas s. Hastings, was adopted by a
vote Of 81 to Is:
"WnEREAs, The General Assembly
has asked this presbytery the folio wing
questions: First, do you desire a r..
vision Of the confession OF faith? Sec.
ond, II so, III what extent? Therefore,
Resolved, That this Presbytety answers
the first question In the affirmative, un-
derstanding the word revision to be
used broadly as comprehending any
confessional changes"
In regard to the second question, DR..
Crosby moved that the moderator ap.
point a committee Of ten to report ut a
special meeting OF the Presbytery OH
the first Monday In December ut 8 p. IN.
This resolution was adopted.
The sentiment OF tue Presbytery was
not only overwhelmingly In favor OF
revision, but several OF the members
spoke so fervently in denunCiation OF
the old confession OF faith as to shock
the strictly orthodox minority. Many
OF the speakers declared that the church
needs a new creed, a brief, comprehen.
sive statement containing only what
Preshyterians hold II necessary TO be-
lieve.
rhe Rev. DR.. Henry NJ. Field, Philip
sChaT, Howard Crosby, John K. Pax.
ton, H. j. Van Dyke, Richard Hart and
Samuel D. BurChard were among those
who voted In favor oi revision.
DR.. Paxton said: "a man who could
preach some Of the articles OF our faith
would not be a contemporary OF the
nineteenth century. He must have
walked out oi the seventeenth century.
He would hv a survival-and not Of the
fttest. We cannot breathe with Abra.
hams lungs, We cannot look at God
through Oalvin's eyes, Calvin looked at
God and saw nothing but his terrible
sovereignty. We see that His name is
Love-"
Many Of the speakers declared that the
church needs new creed, n bri, |, com-
prehensive statement, containing only
what PresbyterIans hold II necessary 10
believe. The Rev. Drs. Henry NJ. Field,
Phillip sChaa, Howard Crosby, John Il.
Paxton, Il. ]. Van Dyke, Richard Har.
Ian and Samuel u. Rufchard we're among
those who voted IN favor Of revision.

as a gigantic farce. No disturbance oil
