greet that Prof War6eld declined to serve on that
committee
Yet little reflection probably will lead to the con-
victon that he is right in declining. Believing,
he does, that Certain of Confessional state
ments' which have been violently assaulted are
Statements which clearly scriptura and as clearly
lie at the centre of doctrnal SYSTEM" he is
thoroughly out of sympathy with the whole move
of which the work of this committee is part"
He is therefore, not only ustifable in but is to be
commended for his uncomfortable unwilngness to
be connected with the present agitation for revision
in any other than that of respectful but
est protest"
The need of the hour is not restatement but
affirmation of the doctrines of Standards as now
expressed and of hearty and unqualified accept
OF them, as being in full and exact accordance
with the Word of God Hence vigorous protest
should be made against any movement in the direc-
ton of revision restatement
This is matter of profound concern to our own
church. True, we are not troubled about revision.
There is demand for it. Our people with remark
able unanimty, have firm and intelligent attach
ment to these Standards and their forms of sound
words"
Yet when Assembly in Atlanta instructed
its Executive Committee of Publication to "foot-note"
that part of the Confession which relates to the sal
walton of infants dying in infancy did it not come
dangerously near to taking STEP though short
one, in the direction of restatement?
1t is easy to say that "foot-note" is small matter
SO the grain of mustard seed "is the least of all
seeds" But it grows. AS for shutting the mouth
of SANDER and satisfying any who may charge us with
teaching that any dying in infancy are lost, that
"foot-note" is small matter indeed; too small for
the place assigned to by the Assembly But as af-
1ecting doctrina Confession and our attitude to-
ward that Confession it is slight matter.
With profound respect for the Assembly am con-
strained to believe that action should fiot have been
taken, and that it should call forth the respectful but
vigorous earnest, and determined protest of all our
Presbyteries at their approaching fall meetings

THE GOLDEN CITY.

Frem the days OF st. Johns revelation
The marvellous story is told.
And down thro' the ages has come the
song,
The song OF the City OF Gold.
No the innocent hearts Of the children,
TO the toilers who faint meath earth's
sun,
TO the old who have fought out its prob
lens,
To the dying whose journey is done.
Comes the dream of the mystical city.
With colors and loneliness rife,
1ridescent its jeweled foundations
Flower-bordered its River of Life;
And the streets of the city are golden. =
And the sea as of crystal appears.
And the sound OF the harpers IS in It
And IT knows not of sorrow or tears.
Like a mirage out in the desert,
Like the fabric that fashions ourEireams
Like some many -hued mirrored reflection
The heavenly Jerusalem seems.
we grope mid the types and the shadows
We fret at It's yelling disguise;
But our hearts cannot grasp or conceive
It's glory Is hid from our eyes.
We catch but a note of the music.
A glimpse swiftly passing and faint.
n hint OF its wondrous perfection,
Low whispered to seer and TO saint.
Yet the glow Of it shortens the journey,
And our feet tread more braveiy the road
Which leads to the sorrowless city
..Whose Builder and Maker 10 God
And thus as a gift TO the ages
The marvellous story flows on.
And the heart Of man rests on the vision

her along on the 1925 p. m. train on q
recent Tuesday.
AT Mahwah Mr.. Conover opened the
bag and shook out the cat. The cat dis
appeared. The train went on. At Al
lendale Mr.. Conover heard the meow of
cat and supposed the commuters
were having fun with him. The train
reached Jersey City, and after the pas
sengers had left, the cars were taken
to a switch where they remained for
four hours. At Asa p. m. the train was
taken to the passenger shed for it's re-
turn trip to Suffern. On the arrival OF
the train at Suffern at 6:o4 p m Mr..
Conover, in assisting the brakeman to
disconnect the air brake from the pas
senger car, was greeted with q meow.
He looked up at the truck of the car
and there sat kitty as comfortable as IL
she had seat in n Pullman car To
say that Mr.. Copover was surprised to
see there the identical cat he had put
off the train at Mahwah at abont ID: 30
p. m. would be stating the case mildly.
Many of the residents doubted Mr. Com
overs story, and to convince the doubt
ers he produced the cat and also made
an affidavit. Therefore il seems high
~ probable that the cat did ride from
Mahwah to Jersey City and returned to
Suffern on the car trucks, a distance of
60 miles, and was none the worse for
her excursion with the exception of be-
ing covered with dirt and grease. She
is now an honored guest at the hotel
and Mr.. Norris has resigned himself to
staying awake at night.
Mr.. Conover's affidavit was sworn to
before Alfred S. Bush, notary public OF
Suffern, and duly signed, sealed and
certified by him.

fiIngs. He bounded from his station
to the biggest of the group, and was
soon uttering cries of joy over the
sport.
For a minute or so the exhibit
ton amused the animal more than the
few people who gazed upward at the
dangling figure. Soon the ice, warmed
by the monkeys body, began to melt,
and the long-tailed creature found it
much more difficult to cling on. He
endeavored to reach his window, but
the distance was too great. Pizzario
attracted his mistress by strange
cries, but she, gazing over the ledge,
became too terrified to think of get
ting a rope.
crowd of men and boys on the
other side of the street waited for the
animal to drop to his death. He was
slipping surely to a tragic ending
when he managed to wind his tail
around an icicle that had been least
affected. Then some one in the crowd
thought of rescue and hurried for a
fire ladder. Within ten minutes the
monkey was returned to his mistress.

A NORTHERN VIEW.

The Philadelphia North American. Mr..
John Wanamakers paper, in referring to
the recent race troubles In the city OF New
Orleans. says that the Southern whites do
not and cannot be forced by all the laws
that can be devised. to regard the negro as
an equal, and that they Will not accord to
him an equal voice in their affairs.
The North American might with equal
truth and with entire truth have said that
this Is as true Of the Northern whites as
of the Southern whites. The Northern peo-
pie have no more use for the negro in poll
tics than the Southern people have for him.
but there are SO few negro voters at the
North that they do not enter as factor
Into the politics of that section. 1t Is quite
