pleted the population of London, is
5,211. O56, which is somewhat smaller
than was anticipated. That ofParis,
also just completed comes alittle under

an attachment for fish poles that will
register the pulling strength, and
thereby assist in determining the
weight Of those big fish that always
get away. It's all right, OF course,
since the fish always carries his own

it's the pull on the bottle OF ''bait" at
the end Of the day which gives the
flavor to the big fish story.

RICHMOND, VA, Especial. "A now,

shares shall he land stock; that is, it shalt
be issued to land owners of the State at
par in full payment for property to be
decided to the company, the price for
which shall be its value us assessed in
1890. This would leave 5000 shares to
be sold for cash, payable in monthly in
stallments of 4 per cent per share. This
would furnish ready cash for advertising
and all other expenses of the corpora
ton. The land thus held shall not be
sold at less than double its assessed val

pany shall pay TO the original owner
three fourths of the money received from
the sale. less ) per cent. thereon, upon

it. The underlying idea of this original
plan is to make an organized offer to
bring buyers from distance to settle i'll
Virginia, and to afford the farmers of
the State a chance to dispose of their su-
perabundant acres at as high a price as
it is possible to get for them under ex-
listing circumstances.

THE COMPRESSION OFfAITH.
q Statement Regarding the Recent
Work of the Revision Committee.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, March 4.-Dr. w. E.
Moore, Secretary of the Presbyterian
Ge6&ral Assembly's committee on the re-
vision of the Confession of Faith, which
held it's second session at Washington,
Feb. 16, says:
1.-The same method was pursued as at
the sessions in Allegheny, so that the en-
tire confession was revised and attention
given to the answers of the Presbyteries
on each chapter and section designated
by them. The work done and tentative
ly adopted at Allegheny was passed in
review and confirmed, or changed rs
deemed best The committee thus revis-
ed Chapters I-XVI. The remaining
chapters were taken up at these sessions
and changes tentatively made were finally
adopted as the mature judgment of the
committee. The changes, eliminations,
or additions are chiefly in Chapter L., 5,
Chapter ILL.,, 8, A. 5, 6; Chapter w., 1;
Chapter VI, 4; Chapter VII, 3, a, 5, 6;
Chapter X, 2, 8, 4; Chapter Xl., 1-3;
Chapter XIV, 1; Chapter XVI, Z; Chap
ter XXI., 4; Chapter XXIII., B; Chapter
XIV, 8; Chapter NV, 6; Chapter
XXIX., Q; and Chapter XXX., 2.
"rhe general desire expressed by the
Presbyteries in their answer to the over
lures, 'for more explicit statement of
the love of God for the world 'for the
sufficiency of the atonement and free offer
of salvation to all men, for recognition
OF the Church's duty to evangelize the
world, for statement of individual re-
sponsibility for salvation, and for full
Ter statement respecting the person and
work of the Holy Spirit the committee
sought to meet by the preparation of two
new chapters, one, of the work of the
Holy Spirit, to follow Chapter VIII, of
Christ the mediator the other, of the
universal offer of the Gospel to follow
Chapter TX, of the free will
'These chapters meet most of the sug-
gestions in the answers of the Presbytcr-
les, and make many of the changes asked
for in other chapters unnecessary. It's
conclusions were reached with harmony,
and its report will be neither of majOri-
ty nor minority, but of the Revision
Committee. The question of publishing
Its report before the time of the meeting
of the next Assembly, which was left to
the discretion of the committee, was fully
considered. It was unanimously agreed
that we do not print any part of our re-
port prior to the meeting Of the next As
sembly,' with the suggestion that the
work of the committed lie referred TO the
presbyteries for their consideration, but
not as an overture for final action; that
the byteries be requested to take up
thc report of the committee at their full
meetings, carefully consider it, suggest
any changes that they may deem desira-

tary of the Revision Committee by Dec.
