this section is in no way to be taken as
to modifying the answer made to the
overtures in the last assembly. The re-
port as adopted recommends that no ac-

clause for the following reasons:
l. Because 1t is unwise to initiate at
this time the agitation of this question
among the people.
2. Because no modification that does
not eliminate Scriptural calvinism from
this section of the confession will OBJ
viate the objection which comes from
Arminian sources.
B. Because the Westminster confession
of faith is the first great creed which
taught the salvation of infants dying in
infancy on truly Scriptural grounds

NEW YORK. May 25.-A. Bostelman.
general superintendent of the Trans
Siberian Railroads Asiatic division
and the nineteen steamships connected
with the railroad service in and around
Port Arthur, has had an important
conference with E. H. Hartman. Mr..
Bostleman represents the Russian
Government in a semi-official capacity.
and his mission in New York is under
stood to be TO promote amicable traffic
arrangements with the Union Pacific
lines and the steamship interests con-
troIied by the Union Pacific Mr.
Bostleman said last night that in his
opinion there was little hope for a
speedy development of American COM
merce between San Francisco and
Chinese ports until the freight rate of
81 ton is lowered. 1t is understood
that he and Mr.. Hartman went over
the subject fully, and that Mr. Bostle-
man told Mr.. Hartman that the Rus
sian Government desired the most cor
dial relation to exist beween its rail-
road and steamship lines and the lines
leading to the Pacific seaboard. Mr..
Bostleman also saw men identified
with the Northern Pacific interests,
and made particular inquiry about the
great freight ships being built for that
company at New London. Mr.. Bostie-
man said:
II will have to ask TO be excused
from discussing official affairs. We are
doing nicely with the railroad across
Siberia and Manchuria, and hope to

fants dying in infancy. but between elect
persons who die in infancy and elect
persons who do not die in infancy.
5. Because while we have a we'll
grounded hope founded in Scripture that
all infants dying in infancy are saved,
yet the confession of faith goes as far
as the Scriptures justify positive ere
dal statement upon the subject.
The minority report recommended that
the following be sent down to the Pres
byteries for their concurrence:
/ That section 3, chapter 10, of the con-
fession of faith be amended by adding
the words, Nothing in this section shall
be understood as holding or teaching the
possibility of the damnation of an infant
dying In infancy. Our church does not
hold nor never has held such doc
trines. ;"
