Presbyterian church as church. i
is an Interpretation that outsider
and opponents have heaped upon it
But this Interpretation has gaineC
such wide spread acceptation that il
Is believed that the church really
holds 1t. Hence the above statement
in regard to what it does In the con
feSSion about the DEGREES and love OF
| God.
The same is true In the second in.
stance. In the item above the i'm
preston goes outtnat the Presbyter-
ian phurch has been holding the
doctrine that There are infants In
hell pot aspan long, This has never
been the belief Of the Presbyterian
church. When the revision commit
tee met to consider this point, after
each one had made diligent search In
thes matter, they proclaimed that
they found 1t to be true that the
Presbyterian church in the United
States had never held such a belief.
This doctrine Is not the church's be.
lief but the accusation of opponents,
who try to make the confession say
the church does believe such a thing.
1t is not the Presbyterian churchs
belief but the belief Of outsiders.
In line with this take the great
theologian DR.. Chas. Hodge. In his
day from lS2O-lS75, he was chief au.
thority on doctrine In the Presbyter.
ian church. He interpreted this
section OF the confession to mean the
opposite from what the church Is &C.
cused as belieying-He says; "All who
die In Infancy ARE saved" The Chief
Authority In the church today, Prof.
B. b. WAKEFIELD d, D. teaches the
same thing as DIR. Hodge.
Here is what the old confession saws
"Elect infants, dying In infancy, are
regenerated and saved by Christ
through the Spirit, who worketh
when where and how be pleaseth. %
The grounds for the accusation that
Is made Is found In the phraseology
ELECT infants." They say we believe

The Beginning And The, Ending.

The beginning and the ending of
things have always been the subject
of speculation, because, perhaps the
finite mind can only comprehend an
existence limited by both these condi-
lions.
Science has advanced and relegated
to the rear many pretty theories re-
garding each. One Of the latest Is
that Of Simon Newcomb, the famous
astronomer, who under the guiSe Of
fiction, predicts that the end of the
world will occur long after commune
cations with Mars have been eStab-
lished and that the inhabitants of
our sister planet will warn US of the
approaching danger. The cause of
this catastrophe is said to be a COLI
SION betweena dark star, and our sun,
which will cause tho earth and all
that is therein to melt with "feryent
heat"
Another famous man whose name
cannot be recalled, holds that in the
beginning there was certain self.
existent, all-peryading, evaneScent
something from which, all matter
sprung, or was created; that the sub
stances arising from this were Of a
highly complex chemical nature, and
that the tendency of the substances
thus formed has been to break up in
to simpler compounds and finally to
resolve themselves and melt away in
to their original state. And thus at
ter the eternity of the universe we
now know has passed away, all that
once has been will continue to exist
In Its original condition, analogous to
the Niryana Of the Buddhists, per-
haps at some other period to undergo
transformation out of which another
universe and another eternity may
spring.
Do you grasp the immensely Of this
theofy2 1t borders The infinite. and
many a mind has tottered on its
throne in vain endeayOr to compre-
bend it.
