form OF DECLARATION
ON ELECT-|NFANT ISSUE
Southern Presbyterian Assem-.
bly, Makes Change in Con-
fession of Faith.

BRISTOL, Tenn, May 22-The General
Assembly Of the Southern Presbyterian
Church yesterday disposed of q long
pending controversy by adopting and re-
ferring to the .presbyteries. for their rati-
fication, a substitute for the elect-infant
clause of the confession of faith. The
resolution carrying the proposed substi-
tute clause was passed after the most
lively debate of the present session and
after numerous amendments had been
voted down. The assembly finally agreed
upon form that suited a large majority
Of the commissioners, which is as follows:
Being elect, all dying infants In in
fancy, are saved and regenerated through
the spirit Of Christi etc. The canvass
of the returns from the presbyteries made
today showed that a substitute in SUBJ
stance the same as the above had failed
to receive a three-fourths vote, although
the presbyteries asked for a change The
present elect clause is:
Elect infants dying in infancy are re-
generated and saved" etc.
Proposition Debated.
Vigorous speeches were made on the
subject and various substitutes were pro-
posed. Some strongly opposed any
change. declaring that the present clause
rightly interpreted does not teach infant
damnation. Others hold that 1t was sus-
ceptible Of that construction. Dr. F.. M.
Woods of West Virginia said any change
would be showing the white feather"
Ex-Gov. M. E. Ansell of South Caro-
z. NJ. Munroe Of Dallas. Tex, and Dr. r.
A. Webb Of Louisville strongly urged
the amendment.
With this sylogistic statement DIR. ].

substitute: 'All who are saved were
elect to be saved

Declaring that the International graded
Sunday school lesson helps are higher

much debate. and over strenuous protests
the assembly went on record as opposing
the use of the literature. DR.. George D.
Booth Of New Orleans and w. NJ. Ever
EFT of Atlanta made vigorous appeals
against this action. but the resolution
was carried by a decisive vote
One of the ,moSt important events OF
the day was the divesting of the sys-
tematic beneficence committee Of the
power to nominate secretaries to and
members of the executive committees,
and lodging in standing committee
named by the moderator. There was
protracted debate on this subject, and the
majority for the resolution was narrow.

DR.. Lewis Advocates Title.

With this report was submitted the
address Of DR.. Lewis before the joint
commission of the three denom1na-
tons. which was adopted by It. In
this DR.. Lewis advocated the adoption
of the title 1.-The Methodist Church In
America" for the united churches as
the only one which would proclaim
that a union had taken place and un-
der which all could unite without the
slightest concession.
He stated that since the first joint
meeting OF the three commissions In
November, 1910s In Baltimore. revo-
luton in church union had taken place.
He said that the negotiations should
be continued because there was ground
for expecting the two Methodist Epis-
copal churches would soon unite. He
agreed with the commission that
nothing could be done until this union
was a fact, except to encourage the
movement and render what aid is
possible.
Action on the report Of the commits
sion by the general conference was
fixed as the order of the day for 2
O'Clock this afternoon. It will prob
ably occupy the whole of the after
noon and II any of the union PROPOSE
lions are adopted q complete read

ference might b. necessitated.

ticable, possible and advisable with the
reservation that the union Of the other
two denominations must first take place.
There was a strong feeling among the
delegates before the discussion began
that the recommendation Of the commits
sion that the negotiations be continued
would be adopted.
