Westminster Creed Wins by One Vote.

With majority of one vote, and
that the vote Of the moderator the
New York presbytery decided that the
Westminster Confession, with it's doc
trine of predestination, was good
enough to remain as the creed of the
Presbyterian church The number of
votes cast was 142, of which 100 were
recorded as votes of clergymen and 33
as votes of elders of the church. The
action taken at the meeting was
founded on an Overture" which had
been sent out to all the presbyteries of
this country by the general assembly
of the Presbyterian church for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the opinion of the
various bodies of the church on the
question of revising the creed. When
the vote had been counted il was found
that II favored revision and II op-
posed it, The rule governing the pres
bytery provides that in q case of a tie
the moderator shall cast the deciding
vote. DR.. Wiley had already voted in
his individual capacity, and his vote
had been recorded as against revision.
The moderator then cast his vote with
the ayes, the antirevisionists carrying
the day.
