CONFESSION or FAITH.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1D.-The report
on the proposed revision of the cpi-
fesslon of faith has been presented
TO the presbytery Of New York. 1t
reads in part a@ ollows: Your com
mittee have carefully examined the
proposed revi don, cnap.er by chap
ter, and Sc stion b. section, and rec
ognize the wisdom, prudence and
skill with which the general assem-
bIy committee has labored upon it.
We are OF the opinion ii shows very
clearly the possibility Of revisiAg
our confession of faith without i'm
pairing in the least our system Of
doctrine, but rather in such a way as
TO support aud defend 1t by making
il palmer, stronger and more scrip
turAl: and that such revision would
not hinder, but advance aud Pros
per. the formation of a new, short
creed to the desire expressed by the
presbytery of New York two year,
ago. We feel tis important to have
a revision which shall really revise.
The great objects Of this wide aud
deep movement in the church
should be as full as is possible TO be
secured. II seems to us these objec-
tions are two. First. a frank, ex-
plicit and uuhesitating declaration
of the living faith of the church in
Gods loving aud true offer Of saliva
tion to all men, through Christ by
his word and spirit; second, clearing
our confession of faith from the pos
sibility of fatalistic misinterpreta
ton. Hence, these, among other
recommendations and changes, are
made. All reference to the sover-
eign preterition, eternal foreordina-
ton to be everlasting death, or any
doctrine of non-election should he
omitted. Substitute for section Z To
declare in substances: ''The doc
trine of Gods sovereign election Is
to be received and interpreted in
harmony with the truth that he il
not willing any should perish. bu
that all should come to repentance,
that he has given his sou topropitia
ton for the sins of the whole world,
and that wh0soever cometh unto
him shall not be cast out, but who
soever will not come shall perish"
