THE PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL
ASSEMBLY
Now in Session at Portland Oregon.

MoNpAY-At to-days' session OF the Gener-
al Assembly Of the Presbyterian Church the
report of the committee appointed to revise
the Confession of Faith was presented by
DIR. W &. Roberts II contains two chapters
one relating To the work of the Holy Spirit,
and the other To the Missionary spirit.
Besides these new chapters, 26 sections in IL
other chapters have been changed. Several
of the members of the committee have sign
ci the report, but have made exceptions 10
certain parts of il.
Those who have opposed revision from
the outset intend 10 make a fight on the con-
stiutionality of this Assembly taking def
mite action on the report, claiming that by
a new rule of the law made at Detroit last
year, this report must go 10 q special COM
mittee, who shall decide whether the changes
proposed shall be recommended to the
l'resbyteries for adoption. Though the con-
servatiyes were defeated two years ago, il is
possible that they may defeat the entire
work as the committee appointed at this
meeting To receive the report may decide
that the revision is unnecessary or unwise.
