( Special toTnnnni : . ] - The Omaha presbytery met In the 1'resby- trUn clintvh In thti town Tuesday nlglit nnd was opened with a sermon by Kcv , J. M. Wll- HOII of Omaha. Key. H. It. Hcllovlllo of Wahoo w s elected moderator. Thcro Is u large attendance of ministers and elders. Thv presbytery assigned the discussion of the revision of the confession of faith us a special order for 10'o'cloek Wednesday morning , the dt.scus.ston to continue until tlio consideration of the subject \vaa concluded. At 10 o'clock today the clerk h giin the calling of the roll , each memlKT having ten minutes in which to fctpiVs ! * his opinion. The majority and minority reports were road , tlio llrst favoring and the second oppos ing roylslon. lr D. K. Ivcrr , who presented the majority report , spoke In favor of n very conscrvatlvo revision. There Is no danger In voting for re vision , because if a subsequent assembly xbould hcnd down an overtuiv c-overing points of revision with which wo could not agree , we cou'd ' reject It. William Hamilton , for over fifty years a missionary among the Indians , said : "Thcro lire some standing high In the church whonro not true Calvltiists. If their views prevail , then our CulvnnUtlc system will bo Impaired. The Infidel world Is rejoicing that the Pres byterian churches about to change its creed. 1 want the confession to stand. If we revise , wo tit onto oi eii tlio door to wide and radical changes. " Kov , J. Q. Schalblo of the First German Presbyterian church , Omaha , said ho was sorry for that general assembly that made this trouble. Years ago ho had received a rjill to a I'rosbytorlan church In Missouri. IIo told his wife that ho could not go , that ho could not Ijcliuvo In Calvinism. But they prayed over the matter and the result was that ho became 11 Calvin 1st. Key. .Toaliun Kiulo of Illalr said that he fa vored a moderate revision. Ho felt that some inteincnts la the othlrd chapter of the i-onfcssion were not in proiwr scriptural pro portion. What was needed was to prepare a compendium of doctrine which could bo put Into the hands of the people and let the con fession stand. Key. J. S. Spencer of Craig said ho had s | > cnt some twcnly-flvo years in the Congre gational church and was a moderate Calvi- nlst , but the more ho studied the subject ho tici'limo more rigid in his doctrinal l > oliefs. He then joined the Presbyterian church. The laws of exjH'rienco in the Christian world sustain these Calvinistic doctrines. Pretcr- itlmi is a law of philosophy. God creates everybody with tx'fereneo to the conditions which surround him. Ho selects particular persons , us he did Abraham. Elder S , D. McCord of the Marietta church , jn Saumlers county , was in favor of a re vision of some statements of tlio confession. If we bcliovelhut all infants are saved why not say so ) Kev. J. W. Griswold of Columbus said ho 'thought the time had conic to revise the con fession to some extent. That moderate re visionists could now control the movement which they could not do later. Klder J. M. . Taylor of Columbus thought that the basis of the Presbyterian church is its confession. "I do not think there is any conflict between , the confession and the bible. " alley. G. M. Lodge of. the Ambler Place ohuruh s.ild ; "I was bom u Culvinlst nnd \viIldlonCulvunlst. Yet I am in fuvbrof u " "moderate Calvinism. Now times demand now measures and now men. " Iluv. L. K. Uclvilloof Wahoo said : "Under the present heat of discussion we uro not pro- .pared for revision. Are you willing that ' J'arkhurst , Hriggs and others revise ill I op- JK o revision bccuusu this book floes not be long to us as a church. It belongs to the large ! family of Presbyterian churches in this coun try and Europe. " IIo contended that the con fession conforms to the teachings of scripture , ( quoting various passages to sustain his ( position. He showed that the elect-infant Vluuso is in keeping with scripture. "Can any uiun take the bible and declare that all in fants born into the world are elect ; " William Kiimlull , elder in the Westminster church , Omaha , asked : "If wo amend the confession , can we nuiko it any better ! It has been said during tills discussion that the olcet-iiifunt clause should bo amended , but if \vo amend it what are wo going to do with the question when tlio mothers of dead infants n'omo to us I Is the bible clear and decisive in its statements upon the subject t Wo have the blblo for this statement , Precious time is be ing wasted by tills discussion. God has given lisa great work to doand wo ought to hodoing it instead of discussing infant salvation. If there uro stumblng blocks in the confession and stumbling blocks in thu bible , why not go to work and remove the stumbling blocks from thu bible ! " Hoy. N. H. G. Fifo of Fremont said ho would vote in the negative for the reason that the Word "revise" is larger than was Intended at the outset. It was too wide In its scope , and to vote for revision would imply n serious dissatisfaction with the confession. Kov T. W. Leurd of Schuyler thought Koine changes were demanded. Kevisiou is bound to come , and wo might as well fall into line. If any revision was proH ) > sed which wo could not endorse wo could reject U. Kov W. K. Henderson of the Central AVest said "Wo must discriminate lir siieak- Ing of revisionists. There tire its many of them who uro as loyal to our Culviiilstie system us these who tire opposing revision. " lie foil however that this movement "was tindiic the control of strong and aggressive spirits in Now York city who are not in sym pathy with Calvinism. These men are de termined to shape the movement and secure If possible doctrinal revision. Our theo logical system Is an organism ; it is logi cally consistent throughout. Wo cannot touch ono part without uffectlug another part. If we tulto out preteritlon , we' destroy the logi- . oal consistency of our system of "doctrine. I People generally understand that If God pre destinates a pcrxm to holiness and eternal life , ho must also e.xerelso an act of sovereignty eignty toward the man who dies imi > cnitcnt. Arminlaus will justly charge us with Incoa- hlstency if , whllo holding to personal election , wo drop the doctrine of preteritlon. " Kov. H. U Wheeler of South Omaha de- chiml that revision has come. He favored u moderate revision. Prof. W. 1) . McFarlana of Uellcviie col lege , said it was suspicious for revisionists at 1ho outset to declare that they uro Culvlnlsts nnd then criticise the confession. This re vision sprang up among men who uro Armtn- iun In feeling and .sentiment. Dr. W. J Harsha of Omahasuld ho was op posed to revision for several reasons , ono of which was that the tendency of the times U to soften down things in the blblo which nro unpleasant , The tendency Is to drift nwuv from the bible. He felt that thu con fession expix'.ssed scripture truth. Dr. J. DenNooo thu First church o'fOnmhn Eidd : "This is a vry serious miention. The iirortbyteiy of Nassaii only nsucd for a revis ion In a very few particulars , The assembly of 1SS $ Ignored Us overture. Then what was doncl I Jeforo the spring meeting of the pms- bytertes In ISS'J letters wcro sent till over the country trying to get up a sentiment In favor of revision. They then succeeded in getting It before the assembly in ISS'J. It is a regular scheme. Hevislon puts us In bad comiiany. If the confession is torn to pieces , us 1 am afraid It will l > o , where will wo stand I Why , iimond the Unitarians , nnd worse than all , uniong iutldels. Ono man says revision is bound to come , ' nnd another , and another , uud oo the result is that an opldemle Is Kturtcd. " Ho very forcibly Illustrated this thought by instancing the ' 'elixir ot life" cruto which so recently prevailed. "Iho truth of God's word Is in that confession , The love of Jeans Christ is embodied In the confession from end to eml. " Hey. W. J. I'idul of Omaha said ho had more faith In the Presbyterian church than to believe that it would discard. Culyunlsui. Is there any blemish in that confession I If so. It should l > o removed. Thcro nro many things in the confession ivhlclr should bo re vised out. Such things as do harm should be removed. .T. If. Fleming"older m the Walnut Hill church , Omaha , favored a moderate revision , but was opposed to any doctrinal revision. On motion the discussion was arrested and n vote taken. The question voted UIMJH was the lirst question of the assembly's overture , vi13d you desire a revision of tlio confes sion of faith ! " The roll wiw called nnd resulted in 13 voles in the afllniutlVG nnd 25 In the negative. On motlcn this result wus'nwdo'nnanlinous. The commissioners to the assembly wore In structed (6 vote and' net accordance with the decision of the presbytery , against re vision. Kov. J. Ml WllsOn of Omaha was elected commissioner to llio assembly , which meets In Saratoga MI the 15th nf May , and .1. N. Taylor of Columlms * elected elder dele gate. The pastoral rotation between Rev.

[ Now York Herald Cbln Special to Tin : BEE. ] Archbishop Corrigan - gan has returned to Home with the dust of Jerusalem and Na/.uroth on his shoes-ami the stains of stormy Galileo on his black cassock. The archbishop has had n grand trip through the holy land. He celebrated mass on almost every sacred spot of note in Palestine. Tlio four clergymen who accompanied him on his solemn pilgrimage through the scenes of Christ's life , death ami resurrection will only remain in Koine four or live days in order to be presented to the pope. They will then re turn to America. Archbishop Corrigan has grown stouter and stronger. He will remain hero for about a month arranging the affairs of Ids archdiocese with the propaganda. The quarrel with Dr. Burtsoll , tlio friend mid counsel for Dr. McGlynii , tlio excommunicated pastor of St. Stephen's par ish , if it cmi bo called n quarrel , will be set tled now. As to Dr. McOlynn himself , there seems to no hope. The archbishop says that ho does not think Dr. McGlynn will ever make bis formal submission to the church for the reason that bis mental faculties have become exalted and ho asserts t hat this men tal condition has robbed the once distin guished orator of his reason. Tlionrehbishop insists that the present instructions of the holy see fully conllrm the teachings of the church on the fundamental rights of propur- ty and simply modify the application of them b'y urging a greater spirit of charity toward the laboring classes. There is no truth in the statement that the archbishop's mission to Homo relates to the division of his archdiocese into two parts , with separate governments. Tlio archbishop will consult with the propaganda and with the Italian bishops of the. diocese from which the iM-'ople are Immigrating to America as to the best means of curing spiritually for the helpless and ignorant. The archbishop , after leaving Koine and Naples in the early part of February , sidled to Alexandria , where he spent onedny cele brating mass in the Franciscan church. Then ho went to Cairo , visited the pyramids and stared at the Sphinx. At Jaffa hi- went to see the supposcdsitcof thohomoof Sitnontho tan ner , where St. Potcrhad the vision. From this curious old point tlio pilgrims wandered on to Kamleh , and after spending a night in the Franciscan convent , hurried on to Jerusalem. It was In Jerusalem that the archbishop and his fellow travelers entered upon the real work of their pious Journey. From February 17 till March'J they trod the soil of Jerusa lem , saying mass in turn at the sopulchro of Christ.'on the Mount of Olives , on Calvary and nt Hothlehem. The whole party was en tertained by the patriarch of Joiiihalcin in the Franciscan hospital lit Cus- anuovo. Going overland to Narareth Archbishop Corrigan was carried in a picturesque palanquin on the backs of nn- ronmntie , trustworthy mules. Some others vodo on horseback. This rough Journuy lasted for four days. Hueh night the archbishop ami his friends camped out In tents. ' 1 hey were accompanied by Friar Llevin , n famous monk who has traveled and studied the holy land for thirty veal's. The archbishop en dured the hardships of the wild rule and rude camps like a veteran frontiersman. Every pilgrim biild mass at Nazareth. Then they went on to Tiberius , Capernaum , Uothsaidu mid Mugdala. When the archbishop and his friends went out for a ball on the Sea of Galileo thu watx-r was as smooth as glass. Within a few min utes tlio hccnu was changed Into an angry tumult of waves. Dr. Talmage had u fdmilur exiK-ricnce only a bhort time ago. So great was the btorm'that four of thu pilgrims hud t < bo put ashore : but tlio arch bishop stuck to thu boat. On the way back to Nazareth the company saw thohcene of the marrlago feast miraclu lit 'From ' Nazareth they proceeded toCalfnund then visited Mount Carmel , remaining in I ho monastery there for two days.
