The Presbyterians Revising Their
Greed.

The Presbyterians Revising Their
Creed.
Recently there has been consider
able discussion among the Presbyter-
ians IN their Presbyteries concerning
the revision of their Confession Of
Faith. In the Pittsburg Presbytery
held December 18th, Rev. w. G. john
son offered the following resolutions:
WHEREAS: This presbytery views with deep
concern the widespread detection prevalent
throughout our great presbyterian zion 10 the re-
ceived standards of our venerable church, and
WHEREAS: Our congregations are in danger Of
being corrupted by such heresies; therefore
REsOLvED That the ministers OF this preFoy-
terry be required as soon as possible 10 present %
their several congregations belief, set forth
in the Westminster confession OF IMLh' upon tle
following topics ''IhaG COG has from an eLefi4-
lty, ordained some of the creatures for his own
glory to everlasting death; that the Pope OF Rome
is anti-Ghrist-
This elected a lively discussion but
the fact now developed that those IA
voring the revision were in the ma
jority
The Rev. DR.. II. T. McCIeliand, of
the Western Theological Seminary,
remarked that he was ordained to
preach the gospel and not the con
fessiOn Of the church"
The resolutions were finally by a
large vote laid on the table
Some newspapers are indulging in
considerable Ievity over these discus
sions and over the ''beliefs'' supposed
to be held by the church to-day, but
which in reality are not now taught
by that church, such as infant con
demnation" The HERALD editor IS
not a Presbyterian, but we say that
the critics of Presbyterianism ought
to be fair. The Presbyterian. clergy,
generally speaking, are among the
best educated and abIest thinkers IN
the country. Like all other sects
they have a few men, generally adj
vanced in years, who, while good
enough in their way, are non-progres-
sive and fogy. The broad, progress
sive, cultured and younger ministers
and laity have long since out grown
some of the views held by Presbyter-
ians in the infancy Of the church.
And this we say not because it is
the province Of the HERALD to discuss
theological questions, but because of
the comments on the subject 10y so
many secular papers which have made
it a matter Of news.

Recently the Dispatch of this place
published the unfounded rumor that
the HERALD was booming John Bis
sell for congress. There was not a
word of truth in it, but lies travel
miles while truth IS putting on her
boots" The late Pratt papers" on
the authority of the Dispatch. keep
the false report going. Here is a
sample Of editorials which appear in
those papers. The Atwood Citizen
says:
In accordance with the barter and
trade made at the judicial convention,
whereby Phillips county was to be
for S. d. Decker for Judge in cOnsId-
Grafton Of Decatur county being for
John Bissell for congress, the Phil
hpsburg Herald is out for BisselI for
congress. If we recOllect correctly.
however, Phillips county failed to be
for Decker in the rump convention,
and now Decatur will with reason
fail to shout for slippery John. 1t is
hog all game in Phillips under the
Bissell regime, and we are glad to
know that at the late election the nine
delegates who were willing to sacrifice
the best interests OfIthe district and
elect a Democratic Judge were out
voted in Phillips county. L. K. Pratt
and not ;. ID. Decker. carried Phil
lips county.

The True Cause of the Cattle Dis
ease.

Last week We gave John BisselPs
theory as to the cause of the cattle
disease. He has given the subject
thorough investigation and we here
repeat what he says: When corn
thoroughly natures, the stalks are
left hard and dry and utterly desti-
tute of nOurishment. The woody,
chippy, stalks clog up the manifOlds
of the stomach and cause inflammation
resulting in the death of the animal
Before being turned into the stalk
fields they should be fed corn or some
suceulent food and watered regularly
0. E. Gerard of Smith county
agrees with Mr.. Blssell and writes to
the Bulletin as follows: All cattle or
stock which are to be turned into the
stalk fields, should first be put on full
feed Of corn for five or six days be-
fore they are turned in. If the cattle
could be fed a little corn each day
after they have been in the stalks. it
would be all the better for them. His
theory is that the corn causes the
bowels to move regularly, and cattle
that are turned into the stalks with
out this precaution being taken. have
no action of the bowels from the time
they are turned in until they are dead.
Mr.. Gerard says he has not lost a
single head since he adopted this way
of feeding,

Man About Town.

A rumOr has been floating about during
the past few days, that tke street railway
people are thinking seriously Of petition
Ing the council 10 make an appropriation
TO pay part Of the cost of building an addi-
tiun 10 the west side Of the Illinois river
bridge, % Accommodate their tracks. The
argument Is that II would leave the main
| floor Of the bridge not too wide, as IL Is
-uneucumbr red, and also prevent the
frightening Of horses.
As the matter seemed important the
Man about Town investigated II, finding
that il Is the creation Of some Of the South
side people who own buggies, and are
afraid that their horses will receive ner
vOus shock, II one Of them should meet an
electric Car. The street railway people
have not and will not propose TO build or
insist building such nm addition. In their
opinion IL would weaken the bridge, and
the expense attached is too great to entitle
the subject 10 any attention.
Again, another rumor has been spread
that the road, If built at all would be con.
structed In the year 5000, and that the
company intends 10 use horses and + rails
This sort of talk Is all nonsense, and those
who circulate il are mainly those who are
offended that they were not consulted pri.
vately about the road before il was pro-
posed. They sa that there is loophole
in the ordinance. This loophole is alleged |
to be In the shape OF the provision allow. |
Ing them to use horses If bad break |
should occur in the machinery, which, ar
que they, gives the road the privilege of
being broke down for an Indefinite length
Of time. More nonsense. The road will
he built The work will be commenced
just rs early In the spring as possible. The
road al Omaha is n complete success. Mr..
Evans has agreed to build an electric road
