In the year16 1 the Long Parlia-
ment appointed the celebrated convo-
cation known as the Westminster As
sembly, or Assembly Of Divines, for
the purpose Of settling the doctrine,
liturgy, and government Of the church
Of England. It consisted Of 12l clergy
men and 30 5laymen-10 of whom were
lords and 20, commoners-together
with four clerical and two lay commits.
sioners from the Church Of Scotland.
Thirty-ave Of those whose names were
contained in the ordinance calling the
Assembly, which was dated June 70,
1643, never appeared at the discussion,
one or two Of them having died about
the time Of the first meeting, and the
others fearing the displeasure Of the
king. To supply the place Of these abb
sentees, some additional members,
called the s%uperadded divines, were
summoned to attend. This notable
assembly held its first meeting on July
I, 1643, and continued to sit till Feb
ruary %, 1649, during which time 1t
met 1,163 times. Its most important
work was concluded long before. The
Presbyterians formed a large majority
and exercised a corresponding influ-
ence. In doctrine the members were
almost. unanimous; but on the subject
of church government opinions ex-
tremely opposite we're maintained wit&e
keenness, especially on the question
touching the sphere and limits OF the
civil power in matters ecclesiastical.
The principal fruits Of its deliberations
were the Directory Of Public Worship,
the Confession OF Faith, the Shorter
Catechism. and the Larger Catechism.
These several forn1ularies, which con
tain a clear and. rigid embodiment OF
Calvinistic theology and Presbyterian
church government, constitute to this
day the authorized Presbyterian stand
ards. The Confession of Faith consists
of thirty-three chapters, SO you can
very readily understand that 1t would
be inadvisable to publish it here In
full. Beginning with the canon Of
Scripture, it surveys the entire, field
of theology, deals also with the rela-
lions Of the state to, the church, the
constitution OF the church ITSELF. and.
concludes with the topics of death, the.
resurrection, and the last Judgment.
Its precise logic. it's clear, dignified and.
powerful diction, and its constant ref
erepce to Scripture in proof of Its.
statements. tended greatly to beget
that influence to which 1t attained.

Anti-Renter..

The Anti-Renters in United States
politics were q party in the state Of
New York which had it's origin in dis
satisfaction among the tenants Of farm
lands in the eastern part Of the state.
Portions Of the land in Albany, Rens-.
aelaer, Columbia, Greene, Delaware,
scholmarie and Ostego counties were,
originally old Dutch PATRONS, as they
were called. The tenants held, the
farms by perpetual leases on, rents!
payable In produce. These estates were
owned by several Of the old, families
Of the state, the Lvingstons, the Van
Rensselaers and others. The tenants
had long been, dissatisfied with this ar
rangement, and the death In 1889 or
Stephen VAN Rensselaer, brought mat.A
tiers to 9 head. Stephen Van RensseN
laer had allowed the rents to- fall largs-
" in arrears. and when his scn, at
temped to collect these he was met by
organized opposition. Men DISGUISED
as Indians tsrrorized the region. Al
tempts OF the sheriff to collect the
rents were likewise unsuccessful. the
militia that accompanied; him beins
largely outnumbered. This wae known
- the Heidelberg war For ! time
the Anti-Renters were q political fac
tor Ia the state, holding the balancs 81
power and using to serve their own
ends. IN 1850 the difficulty was COM
promised, the owners Of the mano,rrs
selling tho land 70 the tenants.

Bound to Borrow SomethinE.
In the poorer parts Of some towns a
very popular custom is that Of borrow
ing from neighbors when short of little
articles Of grocery. etc.
The other morning, in Reading. a
child came from two doors up the
street with the message: .
please, Mrs. so-and-so, mother says
would you lend her a little bit Of black
lead and some pepper, and the big fat
iron for an hour?"
Now. Mrs. so-and-so was very busy
just then. and rather put out about
something; SO she said:
mo; I haven't got time to look for
them. Tell your mother I've got other
fish to fry this morning"
The girl went, but was back in two
minutes, with q dish and another re-
quest:
please, mother says could o lend
her some Of the fried ish?"--Tit-Bits.

BRYAN WILL TRY AGAIN.
81 Shall Continue To Defend the Prinolples g
OF the Chicago Platform. ."-"I believe
They viii Ultimately Triumph"

Mexico, Mo-, New. 23.-In a letter
received here today from w. j. Bryan
he says:
"Still believing in the principles
set forth in the Chicago platform,
shall continue to defend them, be.
lieving the American people will yet
see the necessity fort he repudiatiohs
of Republicanism."
This statement is the third made
by Mr.. Bryan since election indicating
that he intends to continue in the
political field just as he had been.
Shrewd politicians are now of the
opinion that Mr. Bryen expects again
to be candidate for the presidency.
That his candidacy will bring on q
great fight in the party in which Mr..
Bryan will be opposed by many of
his strongest supporters in the past
is shown by the deliberate statement
of Hon. j. X. Jones, national Demo-
cratic chairman, yesterday that he
did not consider it at all probable
that Mr.. Bryan would be nominated.
The statement of Mr.. Bryan printed
above is thought to mean that he is
still in the field.
