TO VOTE ON CREED CHANGE
| QUESTIONS WHICH PREsBYTERTES WILL
BE ASKED TO ANSWER.

The New-York Presbytery, with the other 231
presbyteries in the United States, is getting ready
to answer the questions of the Committee OF In
quiry about a revision OF the Confession of Faith.
This committee was appointed last May by the
General Assembly at st. Louis. and is composed of
these members: Charles A. Dckey, Herrick John
son. Samuel j. Necolls. Daniel w. Fisher. William
McKibbin, George B. Stewart Samuel p. Sprecher,
Benjamin Harrison, John NJ. Harlan. Daniel r,
Noyes, E. w. c. Humphrey. William r. Crabbe.
John z. Parsons. Elisha A. Fraser. Henry van
Dyke and s. w. Dana.
They met at Saratoga recently, and result of
their meeting the presbyteries have received the
following questions, which they asked to
answer some time this fall:
First-Do you desire revision of our Confession
of Faith? or
Second-Do you desire supplemental, eXplana-
tory statement?
Third-Do you desire to supplement our present

One OF the most disgraceful

Garden City was that OF a young
boy, crazed by liquor, riding a
horse at gallop up and down

blackguarding at the top OF his

and the boy was Lou Mallonee,
who lives with two older brothers

of the soldiers home at Fort
Dodge. The boy was taken in

keeper from La Junta named King,

came down few days ago with 4

a four-year contract. From the
present outlook we fully expect
that the entire acreage required for

desiring to grow beets next season
should make application at once,
in order that they may not be dis
appointed if, later on, we should

AS the quality OF the soil is OF
