CHANGE OF CREED.
Presbytery Has Another Revision Of
Faith in View.

New York, June 13.-At the midsummer
meeting of the Presbytery of Nassau, at
Jamaica, L. l., Rev. Samuel T. Carter,
one of the three clergymen who started
in this country the revision of a confess
sion of faith moved an action far more
radical than any heretofore proposed.
The motion, which was carried unani-
mously, provided for the sending of the
following letter to every Presbytery in
the world:
Dear Brethren-The Presbytery OF
Nassau ventures to make a fraternal
suggestion to you in the matter of creed
change. We have suffered heretofore
from a lack of unity and concentration in
the Recommendations of Presbyteries.
Will YOU not give serious consideration
to the wisdom OF unitedly asking from
these general assembly a short and SIM
pie creed to be substituted for our pres
ent confession of faith?"

Smith, 1.-The Chinese surely have a right

to have inhabited for 1000 years. 1t is,

upon them as they have acted an the
Japanese, who half a century ago might
have been deemed proper subjects for
philanthropic aggression"
"You think, then, there is motive for
the advance on China?"
1.-THE great predatory powers are d.

called spheres of influence, was the
reply.
