ELECT INF ANT"
CLAUSE DEFEATED
Presbyteries Seek to Change
Wording of Confession
of Faith

Louisville, May 6.-For the second time
sion of faith in connection with the much
discussed elect infant clause has failed
to receive the necessary three fourths
vote of the presbyteries of the Southern
Presbyterian church. Although defeated
on former occasion, the general as
sembly last year again submitted to the
presbyteries the matter of changing the
language of the confession of faith.
1t has been charged that the Language
OF the confession as it now reads, "elect
infants dying in infancy, etc" can be
construed as declaring that some infants
are elect and some are non-elect Those
who favor the change argue that the
church believes all children dying in in
fancy are saved and that the confession
of faith should be revised so as clearly
to convey this idea.
They had hoped to receive the neces-
sary three-fourths vote and see the
changes formally passed when the assem-
bly, meets this month in Atlanta Re-
turns received up to tonight by the Chris
tian Observer of louisville. show that 2.
presbyteries already have voted against
the proposed change. thus insuring its
defeat.
