God in election. the general love Of God for /
all mankind. the salvation in Christ Jesus /
provided for all and 10 be preached 10 every /
creature.
Second-We desire that the tenth chap
ter be 50 revised as not 10 appear 10 dis
criminate concerning "iufants dying in in
fancy,v or so as to omit all reference to |
them, (sectiOn 81 and so as L. preclude that /
explanation. or section 4, which makes y /
teach the damnation Of all the heathons. or 4
makes it deny that there are any elect /
heathens who are regenerated and saved by /
Christ through the Spirit. and who endeayOr /
TO walk in pentence and humility accord /
ing 10 the measure Of light which God has |
been pleased TO grant them. While there
are other points which the Presbyiery would /
be glad to see modified or changed, never
theless we prefer 20 c0ntne OuI sugges-
tiOns Of revision 10 the third and tenth chap
ters, as above indicated.
Furthermore, as germane 10 the subject,
which the Assembly had i'm mind IN refer
ing these questions 10 the Presbyteries,
your committee recommends that this
Presbytery overture the General Assembly
10 invite the cooperation Of the Iresby-
terlan and Reformed Churches OF America
and Of Great Britain and Of Ireland to FORM
ulate short and simple creed dcouched 50 far
as may be i'm Scriptural language and con-
tanning all the essential and necessary arti-
cles Of the Westminster Confession, which
creed shall be submitted for approval and
adoption as the common creed of the Pres
byterian and Reformed Churches Of the
world.
We believe that there is a demand for
such a creed, not as a substitute for our
Confession, but only 10 summarize and sup
plement it for the work Of the Church. We
would and wemust maintain our standards
which we have as our family inheritance
and as the safeguard Of our ministry and Of
our institutions. But a brief and cOmpre-
hensiye creed. at once interpreting and rep
resenting those standards, would be well
coined by our churches as most helpful and
benefcent for the exposition Of what we
have meant through all these years by the
..system Of the doctrine taught in the Holy
Scriptures" We want no new doctrine,
but only a statement Of the old doctrines
made in the light and in the spirit Of our
present Christian activities, Of our high
privileges and our large obligations
statement in which the love Of God, which
is in Christ Jesus our Lord, shall be cen
trail and dominant.
The meeting next week will decide what
is TO be done with this report. An extended
and interesting debate is expected. All the
great lights Of the Presbytery have been
preparing TO take sides for and against, and
the result in New York will probably ex
tensiyely influence action elsewhere.
