Belief In Divinity No Longer Re.
Quired By Northern
PreSbyterianS.

The New York Presbytery o
the Northern Presbyterian
Church took an action on Tues
day which marks mile stone il
history of that denomination
and. perhaps, of the protestant
church in America.
Three candidates applied Il
be admitted to the ministry Of
the church by the Presbytery
two of them stated both orally
and in writing that they believed
neither in the immaculate con
ception of Christ nor in his res
direction, the third expressed
disbelief in the resurrection but
gave no opinion regarding the
immaculate conception.
By a vote of "a to 3 the Pres
bytery admitted to the ministry
these three men who hold that
lie never rose from the dead.
Such action fifty years ago,
even twenty, would have aroused
a whirlwind of protest and con.
demnation from all protestan.s
all over the country. 1t is very
doubtful, even now, if men DENY
ing these cardinal doctrines of
Christianity would be admitted
to the ministry in any other de-
nomination. We are also relia-
bly, advised that they would not
be admitted to the ministry Of
the southern branch of the Pres
byterian Church. We are advis-
ed that the southern branch,
known officially as the Presby-
terian Church of the United
States, requires positive state
ment of belief in both the divin-
ity and the resurrection of Christ
from all who apply for member
ship in that church. while the
ministers are required to accept
b It'll these cardinal principles
ald all other doctrines of the
c Iurch as we'll.
1t would seem to the ordinary
non-ecclesiAstical mind that if
the divinity of Christ and His
resurrection are eliminated from
the scheme of the Christian re-
ligion that what is left is simply
4 sublimated code of moral teach.

Even ii Villa should be cap
tu-ed before we withdraw from
Mexico, there is ground for fear
ing that the Mexican problem
still will be far from worked out
The Diaz revolt against Carran-
"a seems likely to grow in
strength. 1t appears to have
strong backing on our side Of
the line as we'll as from Guate-
mala, whose President is accuse d
by the de facto Mexican Govern
ment of melting revolt. Zapata's
forces are still uncurbed in their
territory, and, whether vi. a
ives or dies, scores of outlaw
bands will continue to ravage
the country, ready to attack
Mexican or American citizens
alike, or to ally themselves with
any new adventurer who may
raise the standard of rebellion.
Under any circumstances it
will be necessary to guard our
own territory more carefully
than ever. 1t will not do to
leave our border as unprotected
as it was prior to the raid on
Columbus. A part of the Thir-
feenth Cavalry was near til; I
town, it is true, and as soon as it
got down to business it chased
the outlaws off, but the forces
at hand were not strong enough
to surround them or run them
down. Columbus is only about
four miles from the interna tiona
boundary and Villa knew that
United States troops were sta
toned there, but he knew their
number was small and he count
ed on the surprise which he &C.
tually effected.
For the future. while Mexico
remains in its present state OF
semi-anarchy, we shall be com.
PEELED to maintain strong and
vigilant force in the vicinity OF
border towns to prevent repeti.
ton of the Columbus tragedy.
We cannot afford to take any
thing for granted. The crimi.
nal elements of the Mexican pop.
ulation and the ignorant classes,
who hate Americans on general
principles, will look for an op.
portunity to get even with us,
We have invaded their country
in pursuit of one of their most
popular bardits, and they will
not overlook any chance to settle
that score. Villa has set a pre-.

criminals may undertake to fol.

1erstAnd that If they try it they
will be riding to sudden death.
Nearly every National Guard
organization in the country goes
into camp for several weeks each
year. Perhaps they could get
no better training than patrol
ling the Mexican frontier for a
while and learning something
practical about military life from
tile regular troops stationed
there. We are not bound to con-
slider Mexican feelings in the
matter. But we are bound TO
give our reserves every oppor-

Charles Evans Hughes Of Company G
Is probably the most popular man in the

news or his fathers nomination by the
Republican convention In Chicago
reached camp at . o'clock this afternoon.
