REVISION OF CREED.
Will Take Up the
Question This Week.

st. Louis, May Reconsideration Of
the creed revision question will likely
occupy the attention OF the Presbyter-
ian general assembly early this week.
iOyertures from thirty presbyteries
have been filed with the committee on
bills and overtures asking for varied
lines OF action. Some favor a complete
revision and curtailnent of the West
minister confession for general use by
the ministers. Some desire the elimi-
nation OF the entire article in reference
to pre- destination. while Others seek to
modify that much mooted section. a
majority of the overtures ask merely
that the question OF revision be consid-
cred. leaving the assembly free to refer
the entire question back to the presby-
terles for their action.
About IS per cent of the commissions
ers are known to favor a conservative
course on the question. They are wills
ing, however, that the problem be seri-
ousIy discussed and acted upon by this
assembly, and 1t seems probable that
some definite action will be taken this
week. Where there is so much variety
of opinion 1t is impossible to forecast
the exact expression of the assembly,
Nevertheless 1t is reasonably certain
that the assembly Will pass an overture
to the 9presbyteries for their action
This will be the first step in the matter
and II Will then rest with the ;individua
presbyteries as to what course they
consider best At5tlle next general az
sembly these various decisions will bt
turned back for final disposition. 1t viii
then require two-thirds vote of ths
assembly to enact a policy In line with
the overtures from the presbyteries.
AS the present general assembl,
seems Inclined to permit the presbyter
les to vote on the question. this Is con
sidered a victory for the advocates o
creed revision. as they claim that ther,
