section began the preparation Of a
new statement of the doctrine Of the

The object is to obtain formal ex-
precision of doctrine that will be more

clearer understanding of the subject
than the present declaration. No vital
changes were contemplated in the dis
cussions. but mainly a different mode
of expression was aimed at 1t was
recognized that the two hundred and
fifty years that have elapsed since the
adoption of the present statement OF
doctrine has made some differences In
the conceptions of the authorities.
There was some discussion as TO the
incorporation of a statement regarding
The personality Of God. but this propo-
sition is still a tentative one.
