Enough Votes PIedgcd.-Rspresep
tive Bartholdt OF Missouri said Saturday
that he had positively aseertained that
enough votes have been pledged to the St.
Louis Worlds Fair bill in the House TO
make the passage of that measure certain.
Or. BaTtholdt did not say that the bill
would get through at this session. This
is the important part of the business, for
unless the appropriation asked by st. Louis
is granted before this session adjOurns the
Fair enterprise Will have to be abandoned.
II is ore thing to get votes pledged in
the House. and it is an entirely different
thing to get the votes recorded. For exam

iority Of votes is pledged does net get be-
fore the House for consideration the
pledges go for naught. The trouble with

Henderson has packed a special committee
against it, and this means that the measure
will not see daylight unless something Is
done quickly to remove the Speakers in
applicable opposition. Representative Taw-
ney, whom the Speaker made chairman Of
the special committee. has been away from
ever since the committee was
appointed Until he returns the bill will
be held up. Even when he gets back there
is no certainty that it will be reported upon
favorably by more than two members OF
the committee. Obviously there is some
politics hidden away in the proposition
somewhere and it is contended that if the
could expose the politics they
would be able to bring such pressure TO
bear upon Speaker Henderson that he
would be forced to permit the bill to have

sic programme Will be given under the di-
rectton OF Professor u. S. DE Isle.
The work Of renovating the church has
SO far progressed as to give the edifice a
cheerful appearance for the occasion
Of the celebration. The ceiling and
walls have been painted and decorated.
Many Of the statues have also been painted.
New flooring has been put in the church
and the old-fashioned pews are being re-
placed by new pews of oak of modern de-
sign. The putting in Of new flooring dis
closed the fact that the work was not done
any too soon. When the old flooring was re-
moved. 1t was found that much Of the wood
work beneath had decayed until II was In
danger of giving away. As the church is
filled to its utmost capacity on special &C.
casions. as in the present Instance. a great

loss of life. might have occurred. had not
the repairs been made in time.
The cost of the renovation is about ST.. 100.

SISTERS WEDDING GIFT.
Wealth and Love Lavished Upon
Pretty Young Bride.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Salt Lake City. Oct. 2o.-AIrs. Edwic F.
Holmes of this city Is a woman Of wealth
and generosity. Salt Lake City WAS stirred
I'D the other day by a w~edding-the like Of
which was never seen here before-that
Mrs. Holmes planned and carried out for
her pretty young sister.
Nellie May BransfOrd WAS the happy
bride in question. She was married On
October 10 to Jay T. Harris, a young news
paper man of Salt Lake City, and Mrs.
Holmes, who, since their mothers deNh.
had been q sort of mother to her little sis
ter, vowed that she would give Nellie the
~grandest wedding that was ever celebrated
In Zion.
Owning one-fourth of the great Silver
Kin mine Of Utah, Mrs. Holmes was able
to fulfill her vows. She transferred go
shares OF the Silver King stock, worth
about $50, 900. to little Miss Nellie May by
way Of opening, and then she set about
spending $l00,VO more on the wedding
and wedding presents.
The ceremony took place in the Congre-
gational Church, which was turned into a
fairy bower with floral and other decora-
tons. A chorus Of twenty voices. led by
Nine. Amanda Swensen. formerly of tie
Swedish Quartet. sang the bridal chorus
from ~"Lohengrin' as the bridal procession
passed up the aisle, and then sang the
newly married pair out of church again
Following the ceremony, Colonel and Mrs.

Written for The Republic.
Revision of the Confession of Faith is the
question uppermost in the Presbyterian
Church, and, like Banquo's ghost, viii not
down..
OF the 23s presbyteries, 10 have voted on
the question. so for revision only, 80 for a
supplemental creed. 10 for a substitute
creed. 2 for declaratory statement. 80 for
the dismissal of the whole subject. 10 for
revision and supplemental creed.
It will be seen, therefore, that about 20
DER cent favor revision of some kind. There
are twenty-one presbyterfes in foreign
countries, which will not be able to vote in
time for the General Committees action.
and there are eighteen presbyteries which
have only one meeting a year. and that SO
late In the spring as not to reach the COM
mittee In time to be embodied in its report
to the next General Assembly. This leaves
hut 1873 presbyteries to vote. and of these
110 have already voted. leaving but eighty
three to be heard from. Should the per-
centage for revision continue. the next as
sembfy will be compelled to overture the
matter to the presbyteries direct.
One of the points at issue relates to the
statement in the Confession about elect in
fants. which IL as follows: Elect infants.
dying In infancy. are resenerated and saved
by Christ through the Spirit, who worketh
when. where and how he pleaseth." Speak
ing OF this article in a sermon recently. the
Reverend Doctor w. J. McKittrick. pastor
OF First Presbyterian Church Of this city.
said:

lieve this. Doctor Patton. a conservative
theolosian, says: Infant damnation forms

who die in infancy are saved by infant re-
generation Doctor Hodge also says the
same thing. If the church to-day believes
this. why not say SO? Why contend for the
retention In our creed Of a statement which.
to say the least. does not say soH"
Another point at issue Is that which re-
lates to the doctrine of the divine DEGREES,
which reads as follows:
by the decree Of God. for the manifes-
tation of his glory. some men and angels
are pre~destinated unto everlasting life. and
others foreordained unto everlasting death.
These angels and men. thus predestinated
and foreordained. are particularly and un-
so certain and definite that it can neither be
increased nor diminished"
Concerning this statement. the Reverend
Doctor Herrick johnson Of Mccormack The
illogical Seminary. Chicago. has this to say:
Concerning these two articles. it may be
said they are not essential to Calvinism.
be In all the historic creeds to CaIvinism.
But these two sections are not In even a
majority of these creeds. They are not In
the French Confession of 1853. prepared
Confession of 1861; nor In the two Scotch
Conferences Of 1860 and 80; nor, In the
'thirty-nine articles Of the Church Of Eng
land: all Of which are recognized, historic.
Calvinistic creeds. The decree of reproba-
ton is in the canons Of the Synod Of bort,
1913, but greatly softened in its setting. But
find no room for our fourth section. The
Irish articles Of 1915 stand alone with the
Westminster Confession. In presenting in all
their badness and unrelievedness and arith-
ing !. great mystery Of God. This alone
should suffice to justify their ommission."

is likely to be reopened at q special meeting

In the afternoon he left the rectory on the
Old Albany Post road and went to the

Third street. is celebrated in all the Cath
ole churches of the st. Louis Diocese to-
day. The feast Is celebrated every year on
the Sunday following the anniversary,
which occurs October %.

Cathedral occurred In 1884.
A Catholic church cannot be consecrated
until the debt on the edifice has been paid.

church is celebrated to commemorate the
work which is being done in the church.
The celebration Is intended to cause those
now engaged in the work to remember in
II cir prayers those who were In charge at
the time that the church was built. and
also to prepare themselves for the time
when they hall be called upon to leave
this world and give place to other workers.

AN APPEAL FOR FUNDS.
Chairman Simmons Must Have Money
to Defray the Necessary Expenses
OF the Campaign

RALEIGH. n. c., April -. 1909
To The Democrats Of North Carolina:
We are engaged in a campaign of
education. We want every white
man in North Carolina TO understand
the amendment. We want no white
man in North Carolina to be misled
by the miserable .falsehoodS and mis-
representations that our enemies are
circulating with reference to this
measure. 1t is certain if the white
people of the State do understand
the amendment, its effect upon the
State and the individual citizen, they
will give ii such ma jority as no
measure submitted to the people has
ever before received in the history of
the State. and will give the ticket
representing this measure the most
decisive majority of recent years.
To print and distribute literature
and to circulate papers and to defray
other necessary expenses of such
campaign as we are now engaged in
is expensive and requires ready
money. Your committee is practi-
cally without funds. Indeed. for the
last three weeks it has been borrow
ing money to meet current expenses.
The committee takes this method
OF appealing to the Democrats aud all
the friends of good government and
White Supremacy in the State for
contributions to pay the legitimate
and necessary expenses of the cam
Paign. We feel sure this appeal will
not be in vain.
Contributions can be sent directly
to the chairman of the committee at
Raleigh and will be duly acknowledged
Yours truly,
+. NJ. SIMMONS.
