to be seen when their report is published.
The third section of chapter TO- dealing with elect IN
ans il understood has also been modified The text OF
the confession reads Elect infants dying in infancy are
regenerated and saved by Christ through the spirit VINO
vocates OF revision claim that this implies that there are non
elect infants, dying in infancy who damned The belief
OF Fresbyerians be universal that all infants dying
in infancy, are elect and received into heaven.
Chapter 70, section = the chapter heading reading Ot

also recommended to be revised The section reads Works
done by unregcnerate men, although for the matter OF them
they may be things which God commands and Of good use

THOSE REPUBLICAN CAUCUSES

Granting for the sake OF that the republicans once
had some basis for their claims that the democrats and the
democrats only were unable to get together It must now
be admitted in all condor that the grounds for such con-
enons have been removed by the Developments Of the
cent past and especially by the results Of the two republican
caucuses which have been held one Tuesday night the
other Just week previously Perhaps lack OF results
would be more properly applied TO these meetings for GER
