The Report Given to Lthe
' General Assembly
IN SIXTEEN ARTICLES
All Who Die in Infancy Are Saved
by Christ.
MAN’S FREEDOM IS NOT TAKEN AWAY
.Cod’s All Sufficient Salvation is Freely Offered
to All Men. TheDocdine of Elec
tion and the Final Triumph
□of the Saints.
(By the Associated Press.)
New Yorl:, May 16. —The re
port of the Presbyterian General
Assembly's special Committee on Revis
ion of the confession of faith covers two
divisions, the work assigned to the com
mittee having been so outlined by the
Assembly. In the first place, the com
mittee says .t was to prepare “a brief
statement of the reformed faith” to be
submitted to this Assembly “for such
disposition as may be judged to be wise.”
The other part of the work was the
preparation and submission to this as
sembly of certain revisions of the con
fessions of faith, in certain specified
parts of it. and concerning certain speci
fied subjects, by the method of textual
modification or by declaratory statement,
or of additional statements, undoubtedly
with tlie view to their subsequent adop
tion by the Presbyteries and by the Gen
eral Assembly.
Additional statements are recommend
ed concerning the love of God for all
men. missions and holy spirit, in the
form of new chapters to be added to the
confession. Also certain textual modi
fications. The committee proposes the
following
Overture No. 3.—Shall the following
declaratory statement be adopted as to
< hapter X, Section 3, of the Confession
of Faith?
Second. —V.’ith reference to Chapter X,
Section 2, of the Confession of Faith,
that it is not to be regarded as teaching
that any who die in infancy are lost. We
believe that all dying in infancy are in
cluded in the election of grace, and are
regenerated and saved by Christ through
the Spirit, who works when and where
and how He pleases.
fbe committee says concerning the
brief statement of the Reformed Faith
that it was to be prepared ‘‘with the
view t > its being employed to give in
formation and a better understanding of
our doctrinal beliefs, and not with a
view to its becoming a substitute for. or
an alternative of our Confession of
Fnith.” The committee then presents ‘‘for
such disposition as may be judged wise,”
the following as a Brief Statement of
the Reformed Faith.
Article I.—Of God.
We be lie vein the ever-living God, who
is a Spirit, and ihr Father of our spirits:
infinite, eternal and unchangeable in His
being and perfections; the Lord Al
mighty; most just in all His ways, most
glorious in holiness, unsearchable in wis
dom and plenteous in mercy, full of love
nnd compassion, and abundant n good
ness and truth. We worship Him. Fath
er. Son. and Holy Spiiit, three persons in
one Godhead, one in substance and equal
in power and glory.
Article II. —Os Revelation.
We believe that God is revealed in na
ture, in history, and in the hearts of
man; that He has made gracious and
clearer revelations of Himself to men
of God who spoke as thuev were moved
by the Holy Spirit; and that Jesus Christ,
the Word made flesh, is the brightness of
Ihe Tatnors glory and the express image
of His person. We gratefully receive
the Holy Scriptures, given by inspiration,
to be the faithful record of God’s gra
cious revelations and the sure witness to
Christ, as the Word of God. the only in
fallible rule of faith and life.
Article 111. —Os the Eternal Purpose.
We believe that the eternal, wise, holv
nn<’ loving purpose of God embraces all
events, so that while the freedom of man
5s not taken away nor is God the au
thor of sin. yet in His providence He
makes all things work together in the
fulfillment of His sovereign design and
the manifestation of His glory; where
fore. humbly acknowledging the mystery
of this truth, we trust in His protecting
care ard set our Jiearts to do His will.
Article TV.—Of me Creation.
Wo believe that God is the creator, up
holder, and governor of all tilings; that
lie is above all His works and in them
all; and that He made man in His own
image, meet for fellowship with him. free
and able to choose between good and
evil, and forever responsible to his Ma
her anl Lord.
Article V.—Of the Sin of Man.
We believe that our first parents, be
ing tempted, chose evil, and so fell away
from God and came under the • powtfr of
sin, the penalty of which is eternal death;
and we confess that, bv reason of This
we and all men arc born
with a sinT?feisnature, that we have bro
ken God's !av.v"»nd that no man can be
raved but by His\ grace.
Article vr.— Of 1 the Grace of God.
We believe that\ God, out of His great
love for the worlA, has given His only
begotten Son to of sin-.
m rs. and in the Gospel freely offers His
all-sufficient salvation to all men. And
we praise Him for the unspeakable grace
wherein He has provided away of eter
nal life for all mankind.
, Article VII.—Of Election.
We believe that God, from the begin
ning. in His own great good pleasure,
gave to His Son a people, an innumer
able niulttude, ihos.n in Christ unto
holiness, service and salvation; wo be
lieve that all who come to years of dis
r. etion can receive this salvation only
through faith and repentance; and we be
lieve that all who die in infancy, and
all others given by the Father to the
Son who are beyond the reach of the
cut ward means of grace, are regenerated
and saved by Christ through the Spirit,
who works when and where and how ile
pleases.
Article VIII. —Os Our Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe in and confess the Lord
Jesus Christ, the only Mediator between
God and man, who, being the Eciernal
Son of God, for us men and for our sal
vation became truly man, being con
ceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the
Virgin Mary, without.sin; unto us He has
revealed the Father, by His Word and
Spirit making known the perfect will of
Gcd; for us He fulfilled all righteous
ness and satisfied eternal justice, offer
ing Himself a perfect sacrifice upon the
cross to take away the sin of the world;
for us He rose from the dead •»ml as
cended -into Heaven where lie ever in
tercedes for us: in our hearts, joined to
Him by faith, He abides forever ns the
indwelling Christ; over us, and over all
for us, He rules, wherefore, unto Him we
render love, obedience, and adoration as
our Prophet, Priest and King forever.
Article IX- Os Faith and Repentance.
We believe that God pardons our sics
and accepts us as righteous, solely on
the ground of the perfect obedience and
sacrifice of Christ, received *®y faith
alone; and that this saving faith is al
ways accompanied by repentance, where
in we confess and forsake our sins with
full purpose of, and endeavor after, a new
obedience to God.

(By the Associated Press.)
Baltimore, May 16. —A syndicate of

Atlanta, Ga., May 16.—The East and
West Railroad runs from Cartersville,
Ga., to Pell City, Ala., a distance of 117
miles From Pell City to Birmingham
the listance is about 50 miles. The con

ham belt road is yet to be built. It is
not believed here that the Seaboard will
build from Atlanta to Cartersville, 50
miles, but will make the connection with
the East and West in the vicinity of An

(Ry the Associated Press.)
New York, May 16.—R. G. Dun & Com
pany’s weekly review of trade tomor
row' will say;
“Weather and wages continue the only
seriously disturbing factors in the busi
ness situation. Excessive moisture and
loa' temperature made the crop outlook
more uncertain and much depends on a
continuance of prosperity in the agricul
tural sections. On the other hand record
breaking distribution of pay in the Pitts
burg r egion accelerated retail trade, while
resumption of woolen and other mills
added largely to the active force. The
sporting lines continue to make splendid
exhibits, railway earnings for the first
week of May exceeding tiiose of a year
ago by 6.2 per cent and surpassing the
iame week's earning in 1900 by 19.9 per
cent. As was indicated by weekly reports
pig iron production attained a new rec
ord for the month of April at 1,503,326
tons, and the weekly capacity of fur
naces in blast on May 1, according to Hie
Iron Ago, was 352,064 tons, far surpassing
all previous high water marks.
“In the dry goods market there was
evidence of increased buying for fall and
next spring but only small supplemen
tary orders for the present season. Cold
weather has retarded jobbing trade at
many points. Domestic trade in cotton
goods is steady, with supplies in strong
j hands, but »'\port business is dull.
“While it is generally agreed that there
has been much improvement in the win

“Coin advanced on lighter receipts and

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
HITS STATES BIGHTS HARD.
He Holds That the Authority of the Govern
ment Over Navy Yards and Harbors
iB Paramount
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, May 16. —Judge Advocate
General Lemly has received an opinion
by the attorney general to the effect that
the plans for the navy yard improve
ments at Norfolk do not require the ap
proval of the Virginia harbor line com
missioners as they contend.
The opinion is of far-reaching impor
tance, applying to nearly all < ities where
there are navy yard- or stations and
constitutes another blow to the State’s
rights doctrine. In this case it was found
necessary to extend the coffer dam of
the new granite dry dock, at the entrance
of the lock, by 280 feet inside the line
established by the State Board of Har
bor Commissioners. Although the con
templated improvement was to be on
ground belonging to tho ignited States,
Virginia having relinquished 'jurisdiction,
the board insisted that the plans for the
improvements should be submitted to it
and threatened the arrest of Admiral Cot
ton, the commandant of the yard, upon
bis, refusal to comply. They did this
under a State law. The attorney gener
al's holding was in effect Ihat Congress
having been clothed with the right to
maintain a navy, a necessary part, of the
power was the of navy
yards, while as to the harbor itself there
was no question that the authority of the
United States over it was paramount.
