of the revision movement:
The chief doctrinal standard of the
Presbyterian Church is the Westminster
Confession of Faith. Each minister and
ruling member of the church states that
he sincerely receives and adopts this con-
fession as containing the sytem of doc
trine taught in Holy Scripture. A number
of clergymen of the church ten or eleven
years ago proposed to the General Assem-
biy that a committee be appointed to
make certain changes in the language of
the Confession of Faith, which would re-
lieve it from pprehension. The COM
mittee was appointed and It's report was
sent to the Presbyteries of the church.
This report was not adopted by the Pres

Assembly appointed another committee to
ascertain whether the Presbyteries want
ed to revive the general subject, and, II so,
In what form to revive 1t. The Presbyte-
ries have acted. Some want the whole
subject dismissed; some want the system
of doctrine restated; some want to amend
particular phrases of the Confession, and
some want a statement in explanation of
certain declarations in the Confession.
In view of these votes fthe Presbyte-
ries the committee have made a report
to the Geelral Assembly. This report
recommends the church to take up the
work both of amendment and restate-
ment. But the report is not unanimous
A minority recommended that the church
take up not the work of restatement but
that of amendment
These two reports win come up before
the assembly for action on Thursday
There will probably be a debate in which
three parties will appear, first, a party
for both amendment and restatement; sec
ond. a party for amendment alone and,
third a party for neither amendment nor
restatement, but for dismissing the whole
subject.

From sources usually reliable 1t was
ascertained to-day that the Baldwin Lo-

reason to believe that the approximate
price at which it can be acquired is al

he is beyond reach of negotiations that
a deal has not been closed.
1t is understood that the American

upward of $6,0O0,0O0 cash for working cap
ital. Some of the plants taken in ac-

Any lack Of iron in the blood shows in the face. Pallor is the sign. Pallor also means much more, it means a starved nervous system, q facilitated condition of the vital organs, poor circulation and impaired digestion.

Not a day should be lost in restoring the richness and purity of the blood. Get iron, get it by taking the kind of iron your blood requires. The iron in pr. Harter's Iron Tonic is the perfect kind. It goes from your stomach directly into the blood without any change. An hour after you take 1t, 1t has become part 0f your blood and is doing good.
