AMENDMENTS PROPOSED.
s ETERSAL DEoREE.


DEoLARAToRy STATEMENT.
While the ordination vow of minis
tiers, ruling elders, and deacons, as set
forth in the Form of Government, |
requires the reception and adoption OF |
the Confession Of Faith only as con- |
tanning the System of Doctrine taught |
in the Holy Scriptures, nevertheless,
seeing that the desire has been formally
expressed for disavowal by the Church
of certain differences drawn from state
ments in the Confession of Faith, and
also for declaration of certain aspects
of revealed truth which appear at the
present time 10 call for more explicit
statement, therefore the Presbyterian
Church in the United States of America
does authoritatively declare as follows:
First-With reference TO Chapter Ill
of the Confession of FAITH that con-
corning those who are saved in Christ,
the doctrine of Gods eternal decree is
held in harmony with the doctrine of
His love to all mankind. His gift of
| His Son to be the Precipitation for the
sins of the whole world, and His readi.
ness to bestow His saving grace on all
i who seek it. That concerning those
| who perish, the doctrine of Gods
/ eternal decree is held in harmony with
| the doctrine that God desires not the
death of any sinner, but has provided
/ in Christ salvation sufficient for all,
adapted to all and freely offered in the
Gospel to all; that men are fully
responsible for their treatment OF Gods
gracious offer; that His decree binders
no man from accepting that offer, and
that no man is condemned except on
the ground of his sin.
FFEcTuAL CALLING.
Second reference to Chapter
X, Section 3, of the Confession of
Faith, that it is not to be regarded Us
teaching that any who die in infancy
are lost. We believe that all dying in
J infancy are included in the election OF
grace, and are regenerated and saved
by Christ through the Spirit, who
works when and where and how lie
pleases.

An Atmo,pbere of Happiness.

Happiness is, we maintain, a good
end. The only question is, How much
sacrifice is it worth? Well. certainly
not the sacrifice of sincerity and GER
tainly not the sacrifice of others, but
surely the sacrifice of the habit of men
tai laziness. which is only self sacri-
fee. If by a little trouble we can ere
ate for ourselves a sweet atmosphere
in which to live, we are surely doing
nothing of which we need be ashamed.
After all, no one breathes his own at
mosphere alone; others breathe it with
him. If happiness is a despicable OBJ
ject, let us face the fact sincerely and
give up all the many things which we
now do openly and exclusively to OBJ
tain it. If it is not, why should we not
pull ourselves together, give our at
tention to the game and play up?-

New Jersey, small in area, gets as
large an increase in representation
under the new Congress apportiont
ment as Pennsylvania; twice as much
as Massachusetts, or Connecticut and
proportionately more than either New
York or Illinois. The large increase
in its population consequent upon the
great development of its industries ac-
counts for a gain which is not evenly
distributed among the several divisions
of the State. Two of the twenty-one
counties in New Jersey, Burlington
and Hunterdon, have fallen off in pop
ulation since 1890; three, Salem, War
rem and Sussex, show a small increase.

The street car conductor with a tai

A we'll dressed lad. the son of
wealthy parents, thought it would be
quite manly to earn a few coppers for
himself by selling daily papers, says
the Chicago Journal. He stopped a
tattered newsbOy in the street and
said to him:
DO you think l should be able to
earn money as you do if bought
some papers and came to this corner
to sell them"
"Why do you want to sell papers"
'I'm tired of being idle"
WELL" said the philOsophic little
newsboy, with a serious air, dyer
think yer can hold thirty-six papers in
one hand, lick three or four boys big
germ yerself with the other hand
while yer keeps two more off with yer
feet and yells 'Evenin' paper all the

dressed boy.

HT has often been proved that liberty
follows the flag, but it probably has
never been so we'll demonstrated that
trade also follows the flag as has been
she case within the last few years in
the relations between the United
States, Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Phil
ippines and Alaska.
In 1897 the total of imports and ex-
ports between these countries amount
ed to 1886, 200, 900, but in the fiscal year
ending June 30, this total had reached
S1O3, ,OOO,O 900. During that period the
exports from this country to the other
countries mentioned increased with
far greater rapidity than its imports or
from SIG, 900, 900 to $4,000, 900, while
the imports increased from $25, 900, 900
70 $50, 3,OOO,O 900. In other words, the
exports were multiplied five times and
the imports two times.
The details of the figures are equally
Interesting, showing as they do that
during the five years the exports to
Porto Rico increased from 81, ,9SS, SSS
& 10000, 900 while the imports from
Cd island rose from 81, ,1S1,O14 to
81. 10000, the exports to the Hawaiian
islands from S4, 800, O75 to $1,000, 900,
and the imports from S13,6S7, 100 to
$.3, 900, 900, the exports to the Phil
ippines from S94, ,597 to $4,000, 900, and
the imports from 81, 383, TAO to 81, ,0O0,-
600, and the exports to Alaska from
&3S24, 900 to SIS, 200, 900, and the i'm
ROrts from S., ,OOO,O 900 to $15, 900, ,O0O.s
Tbase figures show that the exports
10 Hawaii have increased four and one
half times and that the imports have
nearly doubled; the exports to the
Philippines have nearly multiplied
themselves fifty times and the imports
have been doubled; the exports to
Alaska have grown three and one-hali
times and the imports three times,
while the exports to Porto Rico have
grown five times and the imports foul
times.
Surely trade has followed the gstar'
and stripes and has brought encOur
agement not only to this nation but tC
che people among whom it has come al
a new thing and with new meaning
The full significance of the flag hal
not yet become realized in all of thu
countries mentioned above, aud tn,
development of commerce and trad
has only just begun.

Ho,r to RnnIx Properly.

"Basking in the sun" is in itself Of
real and considerable benefit, and it
is no compliment to our human intel
ligence to find that cats and dogs un-
derstand that fact better than we do.
The love Of sunshine Is naturally one
of our strongest instincts, and we
should be far healthier and happier if
we followed and developed 1t instead
of practically ignoring and repress-
ing it,
How a sparkling sunny morning ex-
hilarates us and makes us feel that
"its too fine a day to spend indoors" /"
and yet how few holidays are taken
for that reasonl The wealth of the
sunbeams Is poured out lavishly all
Rround us. and we turn from it to
struggle for a few pitiful handfuls of
something else that is yellow and
shining, but not half so likely to
bring US happiness, and often has
strange, red spots upon it, Give ma
ture chance, and we will find that
there Is more than a mere fanciful
connection between natural sunlight
and that sunny" disposition which
after all, is the true philosopher

Change of Work.

"Change of work is often real rest"
says a writer in Ainslee's. Every one
ought to have an avOcatiOn as we'll as
a vocation and cultivate an amateur
interest in some form of exercise, game
or culture very remote from his line
Of bBeadwinning activity. Perhaps no
tire is so acute as that which is very
partial and involves certain muscles,
movements and brain centers, leaving
others perhaps Overrested, By eXercis-
ing the latter and, as it were, equaliz-
ing the area of fatigue or making it
more symmetrically distributed many
of the best effects of rest are secured.
Many of even the diseases of eXhaus-
ton are because energy of one part
or our psycho-physic organism is over
drawn while that of other parts is
Overrested. This may make even sleep
partial and haunted by the specters of
the night Every one who works with
his muscles should carefully reserve
some fraction of the day for reading
and intellectual work. We are prone
to forget that this is just as important
as for literary men to take exercise
1t is really amazing what one can dc
with only a fragment of day and OF
their total strength if it is systemat
ically used in one direction. Those
who seek recreation in mere amuse
ments of a frivolous nature are vast
ing precious time and capacity"

When Charles Mackay was visiting
ord Lytton at Knebworth, he was i'm

it'll the beauty of the library. He re-
larked to the novelist that in such a
! eerful room among so many books
| ny author could get through a vast

Il cannot write so well in the IL

.her place. Take a stroll with me, and
] will show you my favorite study"
They went for a considerable dis
tance to the shore of an artificial lake
In Knebworth park, and there stood
Coathouse. A small boat was drawn
up on one side of it, and on the other
near a small window, stood a chair
and common deal table, on which
was a pewter inkstand.
Pulling open the drawer, Lord Lytton
showed his guest a good supply of pa
per, pens and blOtting book.

said, 'than in the grand library. 1 will
tell you how the habit grew. When l
was small boy, 1 was very ambitious
to write and wrote an immense amount
of trash. My mother thought that the
occupation of so much time in writing
would be injurious to my health and
prohibited my writing in the library.

but was in due time banished from
that and deprived of pen and ink. The
more imperatively 1 was forbidden to
write the more l INDUCED in the pro-

colleagues finally aroused him to a
sense of the righteousness of his act
and he Joined in the general hilarity.
