PRESBYTERIAN REVISION.
Explanatory Rather Than a MOdia-
.--.-- - - nnn.-Lnn-


Explanatory Rather Than MOdia-
cation of Any Doctrine.
Dr. William Charles Roberts, presi-
dent Of the Central university Of Dam |
vile. Ky, was the chairman of the /
committee appointed by the general as
sembly of the Presbyterian church to
revise the Confession of Faith in 1890,
and he is of course greatly interested
IN the work of the committee having
that task in hand at the present time.
"Our committee was continued
through two years." said DR.. Roberts.
"We made a number Of changes in the
Confession of Faith. but nothing affect
ing the system of the doctrine. 1t was
suited to the church at that time, but
it would not answer at the present
time. Our report would have been
adopted undoubtedly had it not been
that DR.. Charles A Briggs came for
ward with his higher criticism Of the
Bible at the time, which served to COM
plicate matters, and the revision was
put off for few years.
"The church, however. has not been
| satisfied to leave the subject in the
shape in which it was left, and two
I years ago the present committee was
appointed with authority to take out
Of our report whatever it desired and
to add to it as much as it saw fit, ac-
cording to the tendency of the church
at this time
1.-The new committee has run up
against a great many snags and is en-
gagged in compromising making a few
changes, which are. by the way. more
in the nature Of explanations than
changes For example. where the doc
trine appears to be rigid, as in the cast
Of elect Infants they will make th'
required explanation. The Presbyte
rian church never believed in the doc
trine of infant damnation. but that al
Infants were saved. However the us'
: Of that word elect would imply thai
there were infants who were not elect,
which is wrong Interpretation w
believe and always have believed tina
I all infants are saved.

whole of the Confession by the way 0
explanations. but the changes will b
