ARGUING THE QUESTION OF REVISION

Tho Proponed Chang^n hi tho We*tml»ntor ConfoNHloii of Kutth Under t'ou* InlderAtloii bj the Prenbytury of N«w York.

TO MODIFY TUB DOCTKIN'E. NEW YOUK, Jan'. 21.—Tho lJrosbytery of Now York began Monday what promises to bo one of tho most memorable debates In its history. Lust November, by a voto of 07 to IS, it decided, as far as it can, that, the old Westminster confession of faltli should revised. Monday an attempt, was mado to indicate to tho gene nil assembly—which alone has tho power to authorize a change—in what respects and to what extent thoro should be revision.

When the vote was taken in November tho sentiment of tho Presbytery, judging by the speoclies and tho ballot, was ovorwholmingly in favor of revision of some sort. Monday the confession had many friends rallying to its Bupport bofore tho set speeches began. When onoe tho time limit was fixed President Thomas S. Hastings, of tho Union Theological Seminary, tho chairman of tho committor whoso report was to bo discussed, spoke in behalf of a revision on these lines laid down by the committee. "1. Wu desire that tho third ehnpter, after the 0rnt section, bo so n'CHHt as to Inoludo llieso tilings only: The soviTol^-Hty or Qod.ln election, tlie general lnvo of Uod for all mankind, thu Bulvutlon In Ulisist Jesus provided for all, anil to be preachcd to every creature. "3. We dctiiro that the truth chapter be so rovl£ud ns not to appear to diriorlmluuLe concerning -inrunts dying In lnrunuy,' or so as to ornlt all reference to them (Suction 3) and sons to preclude that explanation of Section 4, whloh makes It teach tho damnation of all the heathen, or malted It deny tout there arc any uleot heathen tvho ore rogonflfcted and saved by Christ through the Spirit, and who endeavor to walk In penitence auil humanity. according to the measure of light which (•oil has been pleased to grant thein."

Or. Hastings spoke slowly, distinctly ancfelTectively, declaring that, no flippant nor irreverent word should ever escape his lips when speaking of his father's ,4*ith. On the revision of tho confession, ho said, forty-fivo Presbyteries had boon heard from, thirty-three voting in favor of it

Prof. William M. l'axton, formerly pastor of the First Presbyterian Church ol this city, but now a professor in the Princeton Theological Seminary, delivered a clear-out, incisive, logical argument against tho report, lie doclarod in tho most solemn manner that the IMblo teaches tho doctrino of election, which moan-- that God has predestined some men and augols into ovtfrlasting life and preordainod othors to everlasting death, lie quoted Judo, Peter, John, Paul and the Saviour to prove his statouiont, and thon mado a claim, which has been denied again and again in the Presbytery and elsewhere, that Presbyterian ministers today preach the doctrino of election, whether thoy Intend to do so or not that mlnlstors ond olders alike pray election and sing election.

I'rof. Phillip Schaff, of the Union Thoologloal Seminary, author of a woll-known commentary, said: "Whatever 1 may have written or printed in my commentary, I have never t|plleved that tho Bible taught tho predostinatlon of men to damnation. Does Dr. Pax ton bellovo God hates any one made in Ilis own Imago? What would wo say of an earthly fathor who hated his childron bofore thoy wero born?"

The discussion will bo continued today and until the subject is disposed of.

Later Wood presentod his letter of recommendation from tho Governor. Subsequently tho witness was Informed that Wood was a liar and a dlsroputablo man generally, by tho lattor mot this attack with refutations of the specific acts urged against him and moro recommendations from highly respectablo sources. Governor Foraker had told tho witness not to appoint Wood unless his character was good and his attainments suitable.

At the afternoon session Wood was again called to tho stand and was agalr cross-questioned to a considerable oxtent. Ho reitoratvd his statements of Saturday with some additional details not especially important. Ho said the paper was given to Foraker to bo usod' in campaign headquarters. It was to be darkly hinted at, but not published.

Frank Milward, tho young man who traced tho nnmos at Wood's direction, was then called upon to tostlfy. Ilo told his story with an air of absolute frankness and convinced his hearers that he had been made a tool of by Wood. He said Wood camo to him and told him ho wanted a document propared that ho might exchange it for another one, and urged upon him that no harm would come from it that It would merely enablo him to got possession of another similar document, which might be usod for tho purpose of injuring Governor Foraker and several members of Congress in tho campaign. Ho showed tho oommlttoe how ho tracod the namos.

Lewis M. Haddon, of Cincinnati, said he had understood that ilepresentatlves Hiitterworth, Campbell and others wero grea Interested in the ballot-box bill and so told Governor Foraker. Ho had seen a paper somewhat like tho ono forged by Wood in 188S, and on it were tho names of Mr. liuttorworth, Mr. Campbell and Mr. McKinley.

As Chairman Mason has boon summoned away and General Grosvenor has legal business in Ohio, the oommitteo adjourned until Monday week.
