Tlic > ' Arc OfU'iitlmon the Cause of
ColllNloiiN at Sen.
Speaking of collisions at sea , a sea
captain recently said :
"I think I can explain the cause of
many collisions which otherwise seem
to bo mysterious. They arise from the
fact that green and red are comple
mentary colors. Ever } ' ship under way
carries at night a red llpht burning on
her left or port side and a green light
burning on her right or starboard side.
Yet vessels go crashing Into each other
upon nights when these lights must be
plainly visible from their decks. And
when the case comes up in court and
an effort Is made to establish the
blame of the accident honest men
swear directly opposite to each other
and believe they are telling the truth.
"Tho captain of one ship , for In
stance , will swear that he saw a red
light on his port bow and held his
ourso. A little later he saw a green
ght there , starboarded his helm , and
lie collision followed. The men on the
ther ship swear that where the cap-
aln says ho saw a green light a red
Ight was burning.
"Now , how does this happen ? It hap
pens this way : The captain looks for
iwhllo Intently at the rod light on the
other vessel. Then for some reason he
changes hla line of vision , probably
luo to a bulging sail above the light ,
and , lo , ho RQCS at once a green light.

POLOR QUESTION PASSED UPON.
Qvcrturco on Separate Presbyteries

I fsoxt General Asesmbly.
Los Angeles , May 20. .Tho Presby
terian church of the United States ,
tu. general assembly , finally disposed
ot the question of revision of creed
that has been before the last thrco
general assemblies and agitated Pros-
byteilan chcles for the past fifteen
years. The assembly by unanimous
yoto adopted the revision of the con
fession of faith as prepared by the
committee appointed by the general
assembly in 1901.
Beside clearing the calendar of this
Important question the assembly dis
posed of the "Tennessee overture" In
regard to separate presbyteries In the
Baino territory , which was commonly
Known aa the "colored question" of
the Presbyterian church , and the re
port of the special committee on ill-
vorco and remarriage. Several minor
poody unity of all the Presbyterians
n this country and a step toward
'rotestant unity.
By the adoption of eleven over-
ures , Important additions , ampllflca-
lens and amendments are made to the
at tides of the confession of faith.
Of these one of the most vital is the
doptlon into the church doctrine of
he belief that all who dlo In Infancy
arc saved.
At the afternoon session "tho colored
question" was disposed of promptly
and without a flurry. Dr. Putnam ot
ho committee on bills and overtures
oportcd a simple recommendation

cries for colored ministers , which had
como up from Tennessee and other
southern states , bo referred to a com-
nlttco of five , this committee to re-
) oit to the next general assembly. Dr.
Roberts moved an amendment to this
resolution , giving the colored element
n the church representation on this
committee and Increasing the member
ship to seven. The resolution and
amendment was adopted.
The report of the special committee
on divorce and remarriage was then
taken up , Dr. Charles A. Dickey
speaking in support of its recom
mendations. There was no discussion
of the report , as this had been fore
stalled by the passage of the resolu
tion enjoining Presbyterian ministers
