cowardly or incompetent general may
render a whole army worse than use

The Southern Presbyterians in session
at Little Rock, Ark, through its COM
mittee on the Seventh Day observance,
admit their inability to maintain re-
spect for the Lords Day among the
masses. The church is indeed power
less in this new century to have the
people keep holy the Sabbath of the
Lord. 1t grows worse every year.
Talk about a Christian Nation, where
is it to be round? What church mem
bership SO reveres and honors God as to
keep His commandments and observe
faithfully His appointed Day for holy
observance and living?
The northern Presbyterians in ses-
sion also are very busy with their
creed. There is a division and still
there lisa majority of the P~resbyteries
-231-that favor some changes, some
revision. The committee having charge
reported as follows:
Il. That the returns indicate that
the church desires some change in it's
credal statement.
"2. That the returns indicate that no
change is desired which would in any
way impair the integrity of the system
Of doctrine obtained in the confession
of faith.
1t is well known and it is true, that
the northern church is not half so firm
and yet conservative as the southern
Presbyterians have proved themselves
to be. We believe the latter are sound
