The Confession of Faith.

At the recent annual session of the
Presbytery of Hudson, N. Y, majority
and minority reports were submitted,
the majority favoring revision of the
Confession of Faith, and the minority
adhering to the present dogma as en-
bodied in the present canons of the
church.
The majority report answers the over
lures OF the General Assembly by declar-
ing for the revision of the Confession to
such an extent as would eliminate GER
tain dogmas of doubtful Scriptural war
rant, Or doctrines presented in harsh
and repellant form, and which would
place the document in more complete
harmony with the Word of God and
abreast of the spirit of the age.
The changes suggested by the report
relate mostly to the third chapter of
the Confession and call for the recasting
of that chapter in such form as to elimi-
nate the dogma of Gods predestination
of all the non-elect children of men to
everlasting torrents, and to substitute
abundant provision for the salvation of
all men,
The conclusion reached in the last
sentence reported above, is that which
strikes the non-churchman as most ra-
tional and reasonable. The dogmas of
all denominations are of mems creation
and wherever they question or deny in
terms or by implication the infinite
mercy and justice of God, they come in
conflict with that Unborn faith which
accepts the Great Father, as the ref1ec-
ton of love and kindness and forbear-
ance, and the exemplifcation of justice
and mercy. Goods abundant provision
for the salvation of all men," comes in
direct antagonism with the dogma of pre-
destination and the idea that there are
children born to everlasting torment.
Nothing could be more repulsive to
human sense of justice, or to the char
acter and attributes of God, than that
some men should be foreordained to suf
fer eternal punishment, and 9th ers pre-
destined to eternal happiness. Such a
doctrine would take from God the ele
ment of mercy, and substitute for it a
spirit of hate and revenge as applied to
the creatures that he had brought into
being without their knowledge or con-
sent. There could be nothing more alb
horrent to human unde rstanding, or
that would SO surely take from life the
''hope that springs eternal in the hui
man breast" The monitor within the
heart of every man admonishes of evil
and good. The emotions and feelings
are measured and controlled by deeds
that are performed, whether good or
bad. and the instincts of our nature tell
us when we have violated the laws of
nature and truth, teaching us that the
will to do good Is followed by the power
to do good, with the certain rewards of
good deeds and good purposes. It is
here that mans free agency comes in
and his responsibility here and hereafter
for his actions and motives is evidenced.

4 DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT.

The dinner and ball given on i Thanksgiving, for the benefit of the Catholic Church was ( gratifying suc- cess, and reflects credit on the lady and gentlemen managers who worked so well for the good cause. They, doubtless, are content in the knowl- edge that the efforts were appreciated and that handsome sum of money was realized for tho church
 The dinner was given in the court room, where three large tables were filled to repletion with choice viands, delica- cies to temptthe palate of the most fastid- ious epicure. The dinner was well pat ronized from the honr of Commencement until late in the evening and so bounti- ful was the repast provided that ample refreshments were furnished for those who attended the party at the Rink.
 Without mentioning all who con- tributed toward the success of the din ner, the following named ladies are de- serving of much credit for the interest which they took in the affair: Mrs. John Cadman, Mrs. l.. P. Walsh, Mrs, O'Brien, Mrs. Hugh Conahan, Mrs. NJ. W. Bremen, Mrs, l.. Sultan, Mrs. c. R. Fiske, Miss Sadie Ramsdell, Mrs Patrick Shanley, Mrs. J. c. Lat inner, Mrs John Holohan. Mrs. Cad man and Mrs. Walsh are especially de- serving of praise for their zealous work in a good cause, as are also Miss Ida Bremen and T. A. Lonergan.
 The party in the evening was the best attended and most enjoyable that has been given in Globe for several years. ''There were gathered there fair women and brave men," and the scene pre- sented was most pleasing and anima- ted one where terpsichofe held high carnival.
Arizona silver belt., 1890-11-29

The people of Globe had reason to celebrate Thanksgiving heartily this year. The season has certainly been one of growing prosperity for our dis trict. Mining is being actively carried on with the most encouraging results The weather continues fine, permitting the prosecution of all kinds of outdoor work, The supply of wood and coke at mines and smelters Is increasing, and prospecting and mine development pro gress rapidly. New capital is seeking investment in our mines, and Globe, which is now the most prosperous min ing town in Arizona, will, in another year, have largely increased her popu- lation and the volume of her business.
 While we have not overdrawn the situation, yet we desire to speak word Df caution to miners and other laborers at distance, seeking work they should not come to Globe this winter expect ing to find employment. The labor market is fully supplied, and the de- mand will not increase, at the nearest, until spring opens Therefore, do not come to Globe unless you have means sufficient to subsist through the winter months.
Arizona silver belt., 1890-11-29
THE BuFFALo mtsEs.

We learn that the owners and lessees of the Buffalo group of mines, who were here for several days, and thoroughly investigated all business and technical matters connected herewith, are well pleased with the management and the prospects of the Ill ne. And we'll they might be; not only has substantial part of the invested capital, needed for the opening and exploration of the Buff falo mine, rebuilding of the smelter plant, and the equipment of the mine and shelter, been returned Ill the shape of copper bullion, but the pros poets are good, that within short time, the whole invested capital will be re- paid, and the enterprise prove prof. table one.
 This favorable result is due in a great measure to close ard economical man. agement, and il can we'll be foreseen-- considering the favorable location of the Buffalo group for cheap work that the future results, with extended work, will equal those of the Globe mine and be as profitable. This pros pectiye status, together with the com mencement of work on the Long Island
 4 group, and other copper mines around it, will before long, make Globe Dis trict the foremost copper district in Arizona, and cannot fail to bring us 8 railroad in the near future. Those who have worked faithfully for the rec ognition of Globe as most important mining district, are certainly entitled to credit by the citizens of Globe and Gila county generally. If now our sil- yer mines will also be taken up and worked in a systematic and business like mauner, the time can not be far of, when Globe will be the center of a large and profitable mining industry.
