New Parliament Looms
After Voting in Syria

DAMASCUS. Syria, Dec. 2
CAP).-A majority of conserva-
tives and middle-roaders ap-
peared to be forming today for
a new parliament as Syria
awaited final returns of its first
election since breaking from
the United Arab Republic.
The end of the voting came
only IS days after Syrian army
officers staged the coup d'etat
that separated their nation
from U. A. R. President Nasser.
From the eastern desert to
the citrus-bearing Mediterra =
mean coast. the balloting was
generally peaceful. The turnout
was heavier than usual.
Although voting percentages
have rarely exceeded 40 per
cent of the eligibles in past
elections. balloting in several

move. Some liberal wings op-
posed it as tending toward
creedalism.

debate, it swept through the
councils general assembly by
a 1886 vote, followed by ap-
plause and a prayer.
20 Lord God we thank
thee that in fellowship with
thy Son we are bound together, "
prayed a London Baptist lead
er, the Rev. DR.. Ernest A.
Payne, who was presiding. I'VE
pray Thy blessings may rest on
what we have done here"
The action revised the coun-
ellis constitution and set this
criteria for belonging to it:
The World Council of
Churches is a fellowship of
churches which confess the
Lord Jesus Christ as God and
Savior according to- the scrip
lures and therefore seeks to
fulfill together their common
calling to the glory of the one
God, Father, Son and Holy
Spirit"
Previously the council had
required only that members
accept Our Lord Jesus Christ
as God and Savior"
The new standard sets scrip
ture as the rule and includes
belief in the triune nature OF
God. the ancient doctrine to
explain Christ's divinity in re-
lation to Gods oneness.
Council leaders said the new
basis only makes explicit what
previously was implied.

in the minds Of some in show
