REVISION Ok DIVISION.

The New York Presbytcrians Still Hammer
Sgdl Ing on Forcortiination. il.
\ New York, Jan. 2s.-The Scotch Pres
byterian church was crowded to-day
with IN audience interested in the ques-
ton as 10 whether the confession Of faith
shou ID or should not be revised. The
opening speech was made by Rev. ]. !.
Lampe, Of Christ church, and was op-
posed to revision. DR.. Vincent next
took up the debatc.A He was opposed
he said, to report that would advocate
new and shorter statement Of the
creed. In his opinion the church was
ahead OF the confession OF faith in
aggressiveness and carrying out the
Masters commands. He said that the
confession was not adapted to modern
times. Gods word was Intended for all
ages and not for one period OF time. IL
The doctrine that men and angels were
preordAined to everlasting death was re-
pudiated by Dr. Vincent. He admitted
that God had right to make Hindoo
or Tartar Of him, bnt denied that he had
any right Of arbitrary power to condemn
him to eternal torment in hell. He
declined to accept Paule inter.
pretation that he was a. lump
Of clay in the potter's bands,
or that he could be made into vessel
TO- serve base, uses. In conclusion he
asked: "Why should we accept the
works Of Calvin ? To perpetuate his
name simply Who was he? Was he
crucitied for US :? Was it in him we were
baptized ?" He expressed the opinion
that those who had spoken were not 70,
revision, but for division.
Dr.. Paxton said he did not believe In
a compromise in the matter Of the con.
fession Of faith. "a
Elder JIM. Harris, Of the Morrisant
church, said he had come to the confer
ence strong for revision, but he hat
changed his mind. rs; y r

water like points of fire in a gulf of dark
mesa Why she thought 50 persistently of
water, she could not tell. In her dreams at
night feverish and restless, she seemed to
sink into some cool stream or pond with
sigh of relief and delight. Oh, if only
she could lie there forever, and never wake
again!
At last she was able to rise from her bed
and TO walk out into the fresh air. As soon
she found that she could move about, she
told Mrs. Peck that she thought of going
over to Hexham-
ITO see Miss Drewl All right. You'll
be hack to-nightr
"Yes, thank you. And hope-then-to
be able to pay you back-something-
"Get along with youi" said Mrs. Peck.
good-humoredly. II don't want no paying
back. And Pm sureN-with a change of
tone-'you'll want your money for yourself
and them as belongs to you"
She shot a questioning glance at Jess
face, but 1t told her nothing. Jess was
pale, grave, impsssive; not given, as Mrs.
Peck had already found, to confidence.
She set out; and she did not come back
until IL O'Clock at night. And, as Mrs.
Peck soon saw, she came back empty
handed.
The next afternoon came; and again
jess sailed forth. Again she came back
niless. Mrs. Peck began to be puzzled !;
but as yet she did not speak
On the third evening, she went out as
usual. But this time Mrs. Peck quietly put
on her own bonnet and shaw and followed
her. And this was what jess did:
She went slowly-very slowly-toward
Hexham; and when she reached the orphan
age she hid herself in little thicket until
the day began to grow dim. Then size
stole forth, entered the little garden at the
back Of the house, knelt down by one of
the lower windows and remained quite
STILL
What did she seea Mrs. Peck drew close,
as quietly and cautiously as possible. There
was gap at one side OF the blind and she
could see pretty sight. Three little chill
dren being undressed and put to
bed, and kneeling first TO say their
prayers at a kindly woman's lap. Jess
watched and held her breath.
Suddenly fortsteps came up the garden
walk, and a mans voica accosted her.
"Who are youa What are you doing
hereN and Tom Lorim er laid his hand
firmly on the shoulder of Mrs. Peck.
In the shadow of the shrubs growing
no snd the window, Jess remained unseen
But the noise, the steps, the question,
frightened her. She turned and ran past
Tom Lorimer, who tried in vain to catch
her without losing his hold on Mrs. Peck
He was bewildered, aud did not know what
to do. And jess hew-hsw like a hunted
hare-to a spot where she had seen from
afar the cold white glimmer OF water, such
us sac had so often dreamed of lately; water
that reflects the fading tlnts of a sunset
sky, and the vague, dark forms of shrubbery
and trees.
