TILE WORLDS FAIR BILL.

TO the Editor Of The TT ibune.
Sir: Does tire ruling Of Speaker Hustled that the
senate bill for the Worlds Fair is dead indicate that
the wish is parent of the thought? other paria-
mentaries differ with him in that ruling. Neither
speaker Hustled nor any Republican legislator at Al
bany long survive the suspicion that his acts with
regard to the Fair. influenced not by regard
the public good but by selfish vindictive motives
senator Fassett entirely right in the position he has
taken. l think that In every part OF the United
states the people have right to receive guarantee
that the Fair shall be used for political purpose.
VIII the Republicans OF the West in Congress assent
that the Fair shall be held In NewYOr II there is any
Doubt on that point? Addition Of the new names To
the original list Of incOrpOraors will insure the eA
cusiOn of politics from the management OF the Ear.
With the proposed 100 incOrporaors, the bill VIII IN
spire confidence all the United states for the
reason that no matter what party a man belongs to,
be he Republican, Democrat political eunucl, II
fair-mnded he will admit that the Fair will be freer
from politics IL majority Of the Commissioners are
Republican than if the majority were not Republican
The bill as amended, ought 70 be passed and at once

SELECTIONS FROM THE MAIL.
FAITH AND DUTY.
PARADOX IN THE PRESBYTERIAN cREEI

A PARADOX IN THE PRESB1 CkEED.
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In a letter published in your columns DR..
John Hall remarks that it would be "a and
unprecedented course" to formulate chapters duties
And yet is not this precisely what the Westminster
Assembly did when they placed In their Confession
long tedious chapter the duties of the Civil
Magistrate
As has been trtely remarked during the progress
Of this discussion il is impossible TO divorce Faith
and Duty The fact is that in the document
under discussion we find duties inculcated in not
few places. Take for example its teachings a. 10
our duty in the matter Of Marriage Of Oaths, or Of
the Christians duties to Civil Officers and the duties
OF religious teachers, and governors The revs0nists
insist that the duty Of the Church TO preach the
Gospel 10 every creature the last one taught by the
Saviour in His earthly ministry. Is Of equal Importance
with these named. The Confession passes By this
great duty in silence.
II should also not be lost sight Of that the
position taken the subject Of preterton by the
advocates of its elimination from Chapter is that
since IL Is a. q doctrine not explicitly taught
by our Lord and His Apostles, but is merely
a logical inference from the premises given In the
first section Of that chapter 1t should be dropped as
beyond scripture. Nothing is insisted upon more
strongly by Presbyterans than the truth that certain
great doctrines in Scripture above logic. and must
be taken faith. In other words they cannot be
reasoned out, and pasadoxca in their character
Many mold 10 the view that reprobation as held by the
hyperCslvnsts is the result Of leaning too strongly
upon human logic, which is not an infalble guide.
There paradoxes in grace in nature and Provi
dence. The superficial boldly declares that
God cannot be loving and allow disaster like that
Of JOhnstOwn, last summer. Logic unaided by reve
ation may led one 10 take such position, 10 avoid
the paradox which the dilemma presents. 1t Is only
come TO study the teachings Of scripture
regarding Gods government Of the world that we are
able TO believe that His rule is true and righteous
altogether faith coming TO the aid of our reason here
as in many other cases
The committee OF the New York Presbytery propose
to omit the so-caled doctrine OF preterltion COL
past even If IL be logically deduced from the
doctrine OF Gods sovereignty, and 70 insert in It's
place the doctrine OF free salvation. This they
rightly claim, we think is return TO the scripture
method OF stating the doctrine Of election given. for
example, by the saviour In John vi 81 where we have
first the sovereignty OF God in election plainly taught
and in the breath the free offer Of salvation.
also John vi. 80 and 10. The paradox, for such
IL surely is, includes within itself the main features
OF our Presbyterian faith. W. 5. GILMAN.
