AN OF THE SOUTH
Wo have ever made a distinction between
the children of believers and
those of unbelievers. We have always
shown a reverence for the line of demarcation
God has drawn In his Word,
between these two classes. When he
speaks we speak, when he is silent
we have been silent All our teachings
and our ordinances make a difference.
But this amendment with startling boldness
dares to ignore this distinction and
to speak where God is silent. Will the
Church adopt it and loose itself from
the old moorings or will it continue to
"be still" and know that God is God?
3. The new amendment is not consistent
with itself. It treats of two classes
of individuals, "infants dying in infancy"
and "all others who are included
in the election of grace and are incaTin
hip nf hointr nutwor/llv 11,^*1 K?
, ? ?- vaiicu u y liiv
miniBtry of the Word."
The present paragraph which the
brethren wish to supplant with this
new one, also treats of both these classes,
but deals with both in the same
manner and declares that the mode of
salvation in both cases is the same.
But the new paragraph makes an important
and unwarranted difference
The first class are elected and saved because
they are "infants dying In infancy."
But how about adult incapables?
Of these it says, "So also are all others
who are of the election of grace and
who are incapable &c." In order to deal
with this language let us reduce it to
its simplest terms. "Others who are
of the election of grace," means," "other
elect persons." I am unable to discover
any difference between the longer
and shorter expression. Nor can I see
and reason why the longer rather
than the shorter was used in this
new amendment. Now read the expression
in the shorter form. "So also are
all other elect persons who are incapable
Ac." Please remember that the opponents
of the present language of the
Confession have contended in season
and out of season, that the expression
"elect infants dying in infancy" implies
that there are "non-elect infants
who die in Infancy." They are committed
to that as a sound and unanswerable
argument Let us apply it to their
own language or its equivalent, "other
elect persons who are incapable." Does
that imply that there are "non-elect
persons who are Incapable &c." and if
so, what becomes of them? Do they
g -ound the salvation of adult Incapables
on their election and not on their incompetency?
Then why object to
grounding the salvation of dying Infants
vnon the same? Do not infants and
adult Incapables stand upon exactly the
same ground? They are equally "Incapable
of being outwardly called by the
ministry of the Word" and they are
equally free from conscious sin. Why
pronounce the conditional salvation of
one class that does not differ from the
first one in any essential particular?
4. The new paragraph is Armlnian
and so a breach into the Calvinlstic
system of the Confession. It points the
election and salvation of dying Infants
upon the fact that they die in infancy.
The Calvlnistic statement of the cqse
is to be found in the Confession, Chapted
III, Section V. "Those of mankind
that are predestined unto life, God
hath chosen in Christ unto everlasting
glory, out of his mere free grace and
love, without any foresight of faith
or good works, or any perseverance
in either of them, or any other thing In
the creature." If you ground the election
of dying Infants upon the fact that
they die in infancy you have grounded
it upon a "thing in the creature" and
not upon "the free grace and love" of
God. It is therefore, Arminian, and not
Calvinlstic.
If we begin to soften down the Confession
to suit Arminian tastes and undertake
to remove all that excites crit
(787) 19
icism, we cannot stop till It 1b etaoasculated
ot all that is essential to Calvinism.
From prophecy, from history,
from observation and from our own
conscious experience alike, we learn
that that plan of salvation known as
"the cross of Christ" is an "offenBe"
to the world. It is not the duty of the
Church to modify its teachings to suit
the world, but to do the preaching God
has bidden It do and then expect the
mighty and gracious workings of the
Holy Spirit to subdue the enmity and
bring souls in penitent submission and
grateful faith to the Saviour's feet.
The Church is asked tn lnnao fr/w. ??
moorings to the revealed Word of God
and the testimony of the fathers and to
introduce into its creed something that
is radically unlike anything it now contains,
and something that belongs to
an alien system of theology. Is it ready
for the step? If so will It go all the
length of the logic of that act and revolt
in like manner against the silence
of the Bible on the same subject?

AT THE PARSONAGE.
Coffee Rang Riot No Longer.
"Wife and I had a serious time of It
while we were coffee drinkers.
"She had gastritis, headaches, belching
and would have periods of sickness,
while I secured a daily headache that
became chronic.
"We naturally sought relief by drugs
without avail, for it Is now plain enough
that no drug will cure the diseases another
drug (coffee) seta up, particularly,
so long as the drug which causes the
trouble is continued.
"Finally we thought we would try
leaving off coffee and using Postum. I
noticed that my headaches disappeared

'Do you know my gastritis has gone?"
"One can hardly realise what Postum
has done for us.
"Then we began to talk to others.
Wife's father and another were both coffee
drinkers and sufferers. Their headaches
left entirely a short time after
they changed from coffee to Postum.
"I began to enquire among my parishioners
and found to my astonishment
that numbers of them use Postum in
place of coffee. Many of the ministers
who have visited our parsonage have
become enthusiastic champions of
Postum." Name given by Postum Co.,
