while holding loyalty to the West
minister confession of faith as con-
tanning the system of doctrine taught
in the holy scriptures, if practicable,
we favor a revision thereof; but if
not practicable, we favor the prepara-

monizing with the system of doctrine
in the confession. and embracing such
additional statements of divine truth
as in these latter days the fuller light
of Gods word has brought to the
knowledge of men,"
