the next year or those to which from
from 400 to 600 new population is to be
added already number 173. Before 1902
it is believed this number viii exceed
200. Areas neglected in the past, while
trunk lines were building, are receiving
the closest attention from railroad land
commissioners and traffic managers.
The railroads undertaking the most
important part Of this work, a work to
which they have practically paid no at
tention since the western land boons OF

A BRIEF CREED
Proposed Instead of the Westminster
Confession

Chicago, April 16-Dr. W. c. Gray, edi-
tor Of the Interior. has prepared for this
weeks issue Of that paper an editorial
IN which he announces that the Interior
will advocate a movement to substitute
a brief evangelical creed Of the Presby-
terrain type of thought and expression
for the " Westminster Confession Of Faith
he gives i've separate reasons for that
demand.
Speaking on the subject DR.. Gray said
last night that the churches in Scotland
relieved themselves of Objectionable
statements IN the confession by adopt
ing a supplementary and an expIana-
tory statement, which thus became their
working creed The Presbyterian church
Of England set the confession aside and
formulated a new. brief code. which is
now the doctrinal symbol Of the church
DR.. Gray spoke Of the tneffectual steps
taken ten years ago by the Northern
Presbyterian church to revise the con-
fession, and declared that people now
demand brevity, clearness and simplici-
ty in dGctrinal statements.
while the Hills incident did not
create a demand for a brief creed he
continued. lit revealed a decree of mis-
understanding and confusion that needs
clearing up."
