laws of Venice tho shedding OF drop OF
Christian blood by Jew was punish
able with death, felt absolutely certain
that the pound OF flesh would never be
called for. The anti-revisionie.s who
framed the conditions of revision, when
they declared that there should be no
revision which would ''in1psir the CAL
whistle teachings OF the confession"
felt just as safe az the merchant of
Venice, for the merchant of Venice wae
protected by thu law against this shed-
ding OF Christian blood, aud the
nnti.divisionist felt that no revision
wau admissible which would take from
the confession one drop of it's Calvinistic
blood.
The time is coming when revision
will be ordered to make our confession
harmonizs with the teachings of Christ
and his inspired apostles. Notwith-
standing the ehack,es which prevented
any revision which would change or
mar the Calvinism OF the creed. yet the
church, led by the spirit of God snd
doeper insight into the true meanings
of scripture. made aome successful
norties on the strongholds OF Calvin.
One OF these outworks which the revis-
ionists captured was that pertaining to
fort called reprobation.
1t has become fashionable OF late for
many of our ablest minieters to claim
that section Z, chapter 3, which teaches
reprobation, is not part OF the Calvin
istic creed and ia not subscribed to by
those accepting tho Westminster con.
fessien. Let Calvin answer for himself,
and here is his an5wer, taken not from
q newspaper report, but copied verbatim
from his Institutes, book iii, chapter %,
section l.: MANY so preach election as
to deny that any is reprobated, but thie
is puerile and absurd, since election it
eelf could not exist without being op-
posed to reprobation."
The fact that the proposed revision
has never become crystallizad into the
organic doctrine Of the church, does not
prove that nothing has been accomplish
ed. The church has found out that
Bethlehem has a higher spiritual alti-
tude than Geneva; that the fountain,
when it leaps in crystal streamless from
the mountain side, is rurer than after
it has msandered for centuries through
the marshes of the iowlands. 1t was tha
two-thirds rule which defeated revision.
Without arguing the policy OF such s.
rule, we will cay that such
o rule is safeguard against
too frequent changes OF consttu'

political reform has over failed to bs in.

A Fort In tho Air Which Would Cost q

Fortune, but End a War.
The celebrated inventor Of the Maxim
gun, one of the most formidable of
modern weapons, is hard at work, as he
has been for long time, upon the old
problem OF aerial navigation. In one i'm
portant respect Maxim is working On
different and less diflicult lines than
those which other inventors have tried
to follow. They have aimed at the de-
vising Of flying machines which could
be operated at @ cost not too great to ad.
nit of their use in the ordinary bust
ness affairs Of life. The inventor Of the
Maxim gun, however, is very appropri
ately working, primarily, to produce a
machine which can be used in warfare.
For this purpose it is not at all neces.
eary that the expense OF air navigation
should be low enough to bring it within
reach of commerce or travel. What he
is aiming at is the creation Of new
and terrible engine Of war, and every
body knows that tho great powers of
Europe take little account of cost when
they are dealing with the armaments
which they regard as essential to their
very existence.
If flying machine or airship can
bo invented which will be efficient in
ordinary weather and will enable the
power possessing it to attack the for
tresses and camps Of its enemies from
above, there will be mad rush to OBJ
tain plenty Of the new engines of de.
struction, no matter how much they
may cost to build and operate. The pic
ture Of wholesale destruction which is
held up before the military mind when
an inventor talks of pouring dynamite
shells down upon beleaguered fortress
from great height and thus blow it
into atoms, without risk Or possible de-
tense, is too attractive to permit money
to stand i'll the way at all. Perhaps we
shall see that wonderful dream of the
poet come true which is told in the
lines:
Hear the heavens fill with shouting, and there
raincd c. ghastly dew
From the nations airy navies graphing in the
central blue.
