sm APPLYING THE GREED. A Scathing Dissection of tlio Report ilade on Revision. THE ADVICE OF DOCTOR PATTON To Cling Close lo ,tha .Ancient larnestlr trjjed. Forms CEASGSS JIADE IX TUB CONFESSION rsricui. TJa.tonAM TO teb DisrATcn.1 Xew Yosk. Sopt. L The troubles of the Tresbytcrian Church over the revision of the "Westminster Confession of Faith are in creasing. An explanatory letter from the cliainnin of the revision committee, the Rev. Dr. William C Roberts, of Chicago, is to appear in the denominational papers of if ct York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Saa FraDcisco to-morrow. Dr. Roberts repre sents the majority of the committee, ithlch stood 16 to 9 in favor of the most important change in the confession proposed. These changes invoh e the practical abandonment of the fatalistic doctrines of Galvanism that distinguish the "Westminster Confession the destruction of the human will, the dam nation of dying infants, the foreordination to sin and to its consequences. This interpretation of the symbols, Pres byterians have long repudiated, and now a great majority of ihe churches arc working lor a complete reconstruction of the Confes sion, which shall eradicate the offensive words and forercr silence these criticisms. A two-thirds majority is necessary to secure this, and Princeton at the head of a strong minority of tJltra-Calvanists, is striving to prevent revision. This opposition, which began in a speech of Dr. Francis L. Patton, a member of the committee, at ths Detroit Assembly last Hay, and which has contin ued quietly during the summer, ha? called forth an explanation from Dr. Roberts. CHAIliJIA.N' EODEKTS' SiPOtrt. The letter of Chairman Roborts deals wiUi the provisional report of the commit tee. This report was accepted by the last General Assembly, and sent back to the 210 Presbvtcries ?or amendments and ap proval. The committee was continued to -ollate the votes and amendments of the I'rcsbv'erus and to report finally at the next Gene -al Assembly. Each change pro posed must recede the approval of 145 Presbyteries before it is effected; and to get and to prevent this vcte is now the strife between Princeton and the liberals. The important changes proposed are in three chapters of the Confession. These ate: Chapter 3, en God's eternal decrees of predestination, foreordination and prcteri tion; Chapter 9, on free will and the impu tation of guilt upon all mankind because of Adam's sin; Chapter 10, on the effectual calling of the elect and the damnation of all others, including dying infants not elect and heathen without the means of knowing, Christ. Tbe great fight is over these chap ters. Dr. Roberts urges the adoption of sweeping changes, completely restating these doctrines. He refers first to the una nimity of the committee. He says: "The unexpected agreement arrived at in regard to nearly all proposed amendments is regardedjby the entire com mittee as less due to liutrv.u wisdom than to the leading of the Holy Spirit " The lines that hae long divided the church into revisionists and anti-revisi-n-ists were not drawn into the committee. There were differences of judgment as to tde changes, but the objectors were not al ways anti-revisionists, and many. of the changes now criticised were supported by those known as anti-reisionists. Says Dr. Roberts: "Notwithstanding thee differences, the unanimity was so great, that all agreed to send to the Assem bly a report of progress, reserving any dissent deemed necessary until the final re port a year later. " AIMED AT DB. PATTOJf. This sentence is aimed at Dr. Patton. The letter gUcs no names. But it is an open secret that the course of Dr. Patton nas greatly offended some of the committee His speech at Detroit advised the church to "tear the report in pieces," when the agreement was, according to the Chair man, that the report w as to be upheld by all the committee as a unanimous report. The minority was to hold its peace while the report was before the Assembly, with holding objection until tho matters came up for final action next year. This was a con cession of the minority, in return for the waiving by the majority of the right to make the report final instead of provisional, and to force the fight on its adoption upon the last Generaf Assembly. As tbe lat General Assembly was pretty well torn up over Dr. Rnggs' case, any further disturb ance was to be a oided. There is a diflerctice of opinion in the cotmiittee as to this agreement, and the IricmN of Dr P.itton denv that therp was any mid action taken The matter was dis cussp 1 at the end of the final session of the cuiimiitoe last February. Dr. Patton left the metir.i- to catch a train half an hour before its close. In place of a minority re port, every member of the committee was given tho right to a formal protest against any change proposed by the majority, and to have his protest printed in the report and go before the Assembly in that way. Xo such jirotest was made by any one, al though tne secretary sent to each member of the committee copies of the report. At an informal meeting of the committc at Detroit, the mailer of the agreement of ujaiumity was again gone ocr. Efforts were made to dissuade Dr. Patton Irom making his 6feech The chairman would hae made tins statement to the Assembly in reply to Dr.Patton, but refrained.lest his speaking w ould open a general debate. The report was accepted and Dr. Patton's speech w. is lorgotten, until the fieht was opened publicly a week ago by Princeton. Then Ch.urman Roberts decided to make his ttatement. He says: GREAT LTUEETT ALLOWED. "It should be known to the whole church that representatives of the revision and the anti-re is.on Presbyteries alike, had the widest l.be'iy to represent, advocate and -vote in ia or of the views entertained by their constituents, and none of them hesi tated to do si. "Opportucuv was srantcd not only once, but a becond time, and after an intermission fcufliciently loii to afford members time for full consultation in regard to anv or all of the points at lsue. A laTge number of the proposed changes vcre carried unanimously in the committee, a few were passed with iwo or three negatives, and nearlv all bj at least a two-third v ote." In another place he savs: "The report now before the Presbj teries is the result of the joiut efforts of the entire L'5 members repfespiitmg the church on the committee." The intermission for consultation referred to by Dr. Roberts was for the purpose of giving the minority an opportunity of gct ingailvicc on the changes proposed. It l.wted two months, during which time the proposed changes were submitted to Dr. ViiliamG. T. bhedd, of New York City, a venerable and learned dogmatician of gri-ai influence in the church. The proposed uiinires wt.re examined by him and pro-nouii-cd to be within the Calvanistic lines. Thus asurcd, the minority returned to the work ot the rev isiou. Kefirriiig lo the added words conceniiug tlu pviocrcvs of the divine origin of the Iwhl". IV Rooerts says: "The vv ords, the :mthfuir,-3s o; the history, the faithful wit iii5 cf p:.fi vcy and miracle, were not in-te.-tctf, is some "have feared, to meet a pres ent fiiprgency, or to f-tniish any future tribuLal v.hh" constitutional warrant." t savt. ::i:ig-;s This is t reference io Dr. Brlggs. A much mors emphatic declaration as to the aj'iwr'ty of the Jlibla was proposed in the committee bat it v.-as rejected as being too . piainiy pa.iitoa against Dr. IJnggs. Furtner ', ' ,f,nf.!"1 l)0"lnt 1)T- Roberts cays: -f "Xiic theological and ecclesiastical differ ences, supposed to have existed in the two branches of the church, prior to the happy reunion of 1869, were not represented, nor yet a.4: anv time referred to tor the purpose of influencing anyone's judgment. 2o symnathv with, or objection to, any men or institutions of our church, appeared during the long and sometimes heated discussions." Dr. Roberts, continuing, refers to the ob jectionable words used by Dr. Pattou at Detroit, in which he expressed the hope that some parts of tho report could be "torn in pieces." The committee never intended to invite the Presbyteries to tear any im portant parts of their report in pieces. The portions most strenuously objected to by a few received the approval of more than two thirds of the committee. Those held by a liuiubsr as not needed by the theological exigencies of the day were deemed at the tame time by more than two-thirds of the committee necessary to meet the views of the church and to aid in the practical work ings of the Presbyterian system. The forms objected to by fcur or five of tho mem bers were, after several amendments had been proposed, adopted by at least two thirds of the committee. Even the change made in chapter 10 is, in the judement of two-thirds of tbe Revision Committee, the one most likely to satisfy the church. THE CHANGES rBOPOSED. "When the committee ask the Presby teries to 'consider' their report, they mean, of course, that these bodies shall go over it, item by item, to' see that the changes pro posed are in keeping with the teachings of scripture as understood in our day; that they do not invalidate the integrity of the Reformed or Calvanistic system, that they are needed in the light of the progress in knowledge and duty made by the church during the last 200 years, to the end that it may be determined" whether they arc or are not, on the whole, the best alterations, sub stitutions and amendments that can be made w ithout disturbing the balance or de stroying the harmony ot our venerable con fession. Dr. Roberts closes with an earnest appeal to the Presbyteries to go at the work of ex amining the report in a friendly attitude, criticit-ng it and amending it and aiding in its final adoption by a two-third vote. Sayshcj WORTH TT02KISJ FOB. "Such a result is worth prav-ing for, la boring for and sacrificing much lor. Pa. sonal pref srences, the adherenc: to favorite and it mav be time-honored modes of ex pression, should not be allowed to hold place against whatever the church clearly calls for, within the teachings of God's Word. A spirit of kindly consideration and of mutual concession in regard to all amendments offered to the confession may well dominate the meeting's of Presbyteries, as it has thus far the sessions of the com mittee. Let all dissensions and divisions be avoided. "The brother or the Presbytery that will persistently object to tbe dotting of an 'i' or the crossing of a 't' on the ground that they personally are satisfied with the standards as they are, thereby disregard the judgment of the majority of the church and assume a responsibility they can hardly be conscious of.
