Doubtless long hair would be deemed picturesque

DOM PEDRO OWED FIFTY CENTS.

Sir: I cannot tell how glad L in reading III
] he Tribune Of to-day OF the unanimous decision OF
the Prcsbytery of New-York in regard to the revision
Of the Confession. When l uttered my opinion on the
subject, IN my Presbytery October l. had no clear
idea as TO how Presbyterian sentiment was tending
and II with considerable anxiety that uttereu
my views as TO what was right and wise I'm opposition
10 tho majority Of the brethren. How pleased a'i
that the PrcsbyeTy Of New-YorV has to the same
conclusion that did It IS clear that we are to nave
the obnoxious passages in the Confession Withdrawn
in the course Of year two, and that there 10 DC
no new Confession sanctioned TIL the subject has been
carefully weighed II Is now clearly by the
public, that there Is 10 be no revolution or fuhud-
mental change in the Presbyterian Church. an
particularly happy find that Church IS 10 oof'
respond with other Presbyterian churches all oNcr
the world. The issue will lie to make the churches
they know each other better. to love each o'hor
more and TO bring about visible unity.
A few years ago, feeling myself advancing in lie
and being determined TO finish projected work III

timc from the great Presbyterian Alliance which some
Of us had been the means OF forming But / am TOW
back to that Alliance and in the attempt 10 adjust
Standards ! the means OF bringing about
Pan Presby cran Union.
But THIS is not all l look for. I hope that ne
Presbyterian churches as they view the substantial
agreement of the creed will look with more favor on
other evangelical churches, such As the Epscopanan
Reformed. Methodist and Baptist. II this does nor
issue Immediately I'm union. it may end IN fdefa
ton like that of the United states There IS awful
responsibility laid upon by the command, Preach
the Gospel 10 every creature and yet TO find that not
only in heather countries. but in our own. IN our
great cities and I'm neglected country districts
there are such multitldes who have not had me
Gospel preached to them. ! fear that for all this
the judgment of Heaven may descend the
churches, which are so often hnderng instead oil
helping each other. Let federation be made. 10
secure that the whole country he divided into par
shes districts, and thai each he provided with
a Gospel minister. with Law agency put under ob-
cations 10 have the Gospel preached every creature
young and old. To remove difficulties. II should be
allowed every minister visit his people and do
good I'm his neighbOrs district we'll his own. !
will be glad 10 correspond with those who ready
carry ont this view. JAMES McCOsH.
