Her. "William Steelo of Kant Oregon at
tempted to offer another sutwtltuto which
wan Intended, lio said, to Ignoro revlRlon,
but IJho moderator ruleil It out of order.
Dr. James Gray Dolton was tho first
upeiker. JIo opposed tho MiWdlluto. He
eald:
"I strongly deprccato all Inflammatory
litatomcnta In regard to the Westminster
confession, whother Jrora our pulplta or from
nny of our ncholars. My reason Is that such
ptatomonta aro quite upt to alarm tho
church nnd In, tho end tho effort to rovlso
nr modify tho confemlon -would result in
failure. Had thoro been more temporato dis
cussion during Urn last attempt at revision
It might havo succeeded, but I think It 13
ton lato now to hopo for nucceos.
Hnv. Dr. Abraham h. Jiatham of I'cnnsyl
anla said: "Tho troth Is thero Is no gen
eral dissatisfaction ln tho Presbyterian
church with tho Westminster confession of
faith as n whole; thero are less than half n
dozen nccttona In tho ontlro confession that
ratioo any serious disturbance, and In ono
ur two sections tho chitngo or omission of a

controversy thnt has risen over tho his

the outgrowth of rationalism. It doe not
.omo from tho heart of tho church. Tho
affect of the commltteo will bo agitation.
Hev. Dr. Hlchard S. Holmes of Pittsburg
announced himself n a conservative nnd
spoko for tho report of tho commltteo. Tho
discussion of tho question, he said, would be
honest, Judicial nnd fair and was due the
church as a privilege.

Hov. Dr. Samuel P. Sprechor of Cleveland
O., said ho feared thero was a panicky fecb

tin opportunity to declare themselves on
tho matter of revision.
"I do not agreo with some that tho confes
don Is keeping men out of tho church, or
that it is driving thorn out of tho church
Thla Is n result of my observation during

Dr. Derrick Johnwon of Chicago, a mcmher
of the committee on bills nnd ovortures
mado tho closing address. Ho said If tho
facts were brought Intelligently before tho
assembly tho report of tho committee would
be such that the church would enter at onco
upon tho revision of tho creed, or upon tho
construction of u new creed, or upon tho
preparation of a oupplemental creed or of
an oxplanntory statement. On tho other
hand, ho said, to decline all action would
be to Ignore a condition that scorns to de
mand attention and which Involves a wldo
e.pread misrepresentation nnd thereforo mis -iipprehonslon
of tho doctrinal position of tho
church.

Hov. Dr. Swlggette, chairman of the com-
mlteo on resolutions, presented a memorlaJ
on the death of Hev. Willi im K. Cholls, D.
P., synod of Ohio, who passed away JuU
prior to the opening of the assembly last
Krlday morning.
The remainder of the morning was taken
up with a discussion of the report of the
commltteo on foreign missions. Hev. Dr.
Charles Cuthbcrt Hall of Now York, chair
man of the committee, was Introduced by
Moderator Charles A. Dickey. Dr. Dickey
then temporarily resigned the chair to Vlco
Moderator John H. Converse, after making
complimentary remarks relating to Mr. Con
verso ns a friend of foreign missions. Dr.
Hall then read the report, tho careful at
tention of tho commissioners being paid
to It.
Dr. Hall concluded the reading of the
report with tho request that tho service of
tho following members of t.tt rorelgn mis
sion board, whose terms expired with the
presentation of tho report, be continued
and requested tho assembly to re-elect them
to servo until 1903: Rev. H. H. Hootn,
D. D., Hev. W. It. Hlchards, D. D., Hev.
John Kox, D. P., Hon. Darwin U.Jamcs,
Hov. John H. Davles, D. P., Mr. Scott Fisher
and Mr. W. P. Stevenson.
Dr. Hall supplemented the report with an
eloquent appeal In support of the recom
mendations of tlio committee, wnicn mei
with much applause. He said tho report
revealed a series of most remarkable con
versions, showing that tho spirit of Ood
was working mightily in tho hearts of the
most degraded. He told of the conversion
of a wealthy Chlneso tea merchant, the re
generation of tho prlnco of Nan In Iirw, the
opening of the eyes of tho Mollah In Persia
and tho reclaiming of tho sorceress ennu-
kokal of Korea. The whole record of tho
Korean mission, ho hald, had an npostolic
flavor about It and tho rapid development
of tho native church, whether In Roman
Catholic or In heathen lands, In self-government,
self-support and self-propagation,
should encourage the homo church to In
creased offorlngs ln wnno degreo com
mensurate with the mngnltlccnt opportunities
niforded by tho province of God. Ho said
the problem of tlho age was the conversion
of tho world nnd paid a glorious trlbuto to
the noblo missionaries who had passed away
during tho year.
BAPTIST MISSIONS PROSPER
committee to which wan referred tho re
port of the publishing ngents In the east.
submitted a statement which will ln all
probability causo a sensation when It reaches
the general conference. It calla attention
to tho fact that the eastern publishing house
has permitted Its working capital to becomo
exhausted while It has loaned Us credit to
outside enterprises.
One case of tho kind referred to In tho re
port Is that of tho International Hlblo so
ciety. According to tho report this concern,
or Its representatives, has owed the pub
lishing house J51.000 for several years and
apparently no effort has been mado to ad
Just tho account. Agent Mains explnlned
that the western nnd eastern houses wero
partners In the manufacture of bibles for
tho International society, but the laws of
the statu of New York prevented tho two
corporations from combining, so that otic
corporation could not settle Its nccount with
tho other. Arter did not uppcar satisfied
with this explanation nnd condemned tbo
system of bookkeeping In use.
After iin exciting dlscusflon it yas de
cided to redraft the report ln spite of Art
er's protest. The report also stated that tho
eastern houso had paid Inrgo dividends and
sulwldles without reducing Its liabilities. Tho
Btibrommitteo on periodicals submitted a re
port recommending that the salaries of all
edltorn be reduced from $t,ri00 to J3.H00 a
year. After a long debate this was tabled
and a substitute adopted directing the book
commltteo to carefully consider the advisa
bility of making a reduction In tho compen
sation paid editors.
A proposition to revlvo tho position of
book editor, provided for In tho book of
discipline, to read manuscripts for the official
booka of the church, was voted down.

South Omaha line. The stteet is already
open with tho exception of two blocks be
