PROGRKSS On
CRIED REVISION
Committee Issues Statement
Of Work Done
Final Vote on The Subject May be
Sidetracked Until the Assem-
5IV Of 1903

PittsbWg. Pa, Dec. 27-The Pres
byterian creed revision committee has
ISSUED the following statement
through its secretary. the Rev. DR..
William Henry Roberts:
"For the information OF the church,
! am authorized to say that the com
mittee on credal revision met at Wash
ington, on December 4, and remained
in session until December IA. The
work accomplished at the meeting
consists Of a brief statement of the
reformed faith in untechnical terms.
and also a declaratory statement. The
statement of the reformed faith is
contained in 16 articles, and the de-
claratOry statement covers chaps III,
X. sec. 3. and XIV, sec. 6, of the con-
fession of faith, as specified in the
assembly's instructions to the com
mittee. and also additional statements
as to the gospel and the holy spirit.
The work thus far done is altogether
tentative, is not for publication and
is to be considered at another meeting
Of the committee. to be held I'm Phila-
delphia, Pa. February 3. 1902. The
committee also appointed a sub-com-
mittee of five to prepare a tentative
revision Of the confession of faith, on
the several points contained in the in
structions of the committee above
named, the same to be considered at
the February meeting, along with the
declaratory statement"
It is generally understood by the
Presbyterian ministers in this city
that the plan of the committee is to
report the declaratory statement to
the next general assembly and side
track the revision movement until the
assembly OF 1903. The new creed men
on the committee are aggressive, and
believe that the plan of campaign will
best promote their desires and give
relief at once to the church.
