Ml)., October 29, IVesbyterlmi leaders of this city now admit that the. action of many of the Presbyteries have oeen heard from on the question of revision of the .creed of the church has been so decisive that, the special committee which pro pounds tbe questions will be compell ed to report to the General Assembly thnt It ought to take up the matter of revision. Reports which have been made to Rev, Dr. W. H. Roberts, secretary of the General Assembly's special com mittee, indicates a greater victory for the advocates of revision than the most sanguine had hoped. Of 126 Presbyteries, which- voted on the sub ject, 87 favor some sort, of revision, while 35 per cent want the question of revision dismissed. Four Presbyte ries are indecisive in the replies. WILL NOE AFFECT THE SOUTH. The votes for revision referred to are in the Northern Presbyterian Church, and not in, the South. The Southern church is ery conservative, and the revision of the creed is stren uously opposed in this section. Most of the Southern ministers have al ready expressed themselves as opposed to tampering with the VVestmidster convention in any way whatever. The agitation for revision may spread from the North to the South, but. as yet it has made little headway in this section.

I'ltlinger at the ' Uiim-h of the (iootl Shepherd yester day morning instead of his- nsiuti ser mon, delivered an address o nhe meeting of the Missionary Council of the church in Louisville last week, whijji he attended. It was the ablest religions congress gathered in i the. country, he said, and the meeting in us - enthusiasm and inspiration was worthy of the term "Pentecostal." -It is a. fact that the cause of missions in genenil ha8 reached a crisis, and the Episcopal church fully recognizes its responsibility. The opening ser vice of th!? council. waa held in Christ ' Church Cathetlral and the sermoa waa'? preached by Dr. Hartridge, Bishop of Kyoto, Japan. Dr. Pittinger said it was beyond comparison the finest mis- : sionary sermon he ever heard. He am nounced that- he had secured Bishop , Hartridge's promise to preach In Ual- eigh on the 16th of November. ' The Bishop will meet the ladies' societies in the afternoon and will preach at night. The word "expansion" : was: : the keynote of the convention, and the church has no idea of retrenchment or repeat in its mission work. The council will recommend to the Gemerai Convention that, a missionary bishop lie elected for each of the islands re- : cently brought under the dominion, of the United States. It was resolved to drop the words "Foreign" and "Do mestic" and simply leave the name "The Missionary Society," A commit tee in every diocese is to be appointed to look after work outside the diocese 1 The proposition to change tho name of the church was unanimously tab bied, i i "' Rev.

SERVANT OF CHRIST, - Rev. Dr. M. M. Marshall 18 tnrist Church yesterday morning, gave a fin! discourse on the simple subject, "A . Servant of Jesus Christ." V In his in trodnetion Dr. Marshall placed special emphasis of the word servant and Its meaning, and- discussed the now la mentablc, idea- that serving is a dis grace. In the, ante-belhtni days the master could pay the faithful negro no higher compliment than, to -say that he was a good servant. . Man's repugnance to serving is responsible for much of the labor troubles and . other outbreaks that occur, s Each one is dependent, on others, and -Dr. .Mar shall said that while we should ren der the best work and service to our I employers in this life a much higher obligation exists for being servantsof , Jesus Christ. He pictured the faith-' ful service to be rendered Christ unrt , the joy and peace and final glory that attends it. - CHOI CE OF MAST fiRU. Rev. J. O. Atkinson, president, of Elon College, preached- for - Rev. M. W. Butler in the Christian Church last nigiit, and he gave o, fine dlsv course on the theme, '"Choose ye tills : day whom ye will Serve." . Dr. Atkin son handled this familiar tXt- in a charming way. In the lirsb place ne ixiinted out. that, making a choice was - obligatory on every one, no man eouki escape tlie resionsibility of choosing , his master. He then emphasized the---fact that the demand and necessity for serving right were neve so strong, as today. The extremes , have . met, -the boy ' of eighteen is now as replete in informntion as the man of thirty was formerly. Rapid transit' has brought the world together and, es tablished a close communion between the peoples of the earth. These im provements and advancements can be used for evil us well a goodv hence the need for rightful service. - In rlosimr. Or.
