meeting at Cadiz, he said the P~ittsburg
papers had not stated the facts and
that the discussion in regard to the
creed or confession of faith was not
a warm debate, but only occupied
about fifteen minutes time, and as to
the change he stated that he thought
the creed in the future would be more
brief, and as to what would be done
with the confession Of faith he was not
able to say, but thought that the
church in no way would deviate from
the Pauline theology, also that he
thought more credence was given to
