SOUTHERN CHURCH IS SUBMITTED
Revised Epitome of Doctrine Is
Drawn Up and Presented by
Committee.
Here in the "Rrief Statement of
Belief," submitted ty the Presbyterian
Church (South) to-day by Dr. J. M.
Wells, for the committee named for
the purpose:

* vent the Assembly approves

shall he referred to the execu-
li ' r committee of publication, to be
p: uited and circulated as may be
deemed best.
The Statement.
I. God.
God Is a spirit. Infinite, eternal,
and unchangeable; all-powerful,
holy wise, good. true, and just, hat
ing all sin. He is merciful and gra
cious. long suffering, and abundant
in goodness and truth, not willing
that any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance; this
truth is summed up In the Bible
statement. “God is love.’’ "He ex
ists fn three persons. Father. Son.
and Holy Spirit, who are one God,
the same in substance, equal In pow
er and glory.
II. The Bible.
The Word of God. written by men
inspired by the Holy Spirit, is con
tained in the Scriptures of the <-Id
and New Testaments, and are the
w 'ill of God. It is the revelation of
God’s will for man and of man's
duty to God, and is the only in
fallible and authoritative rule of
faith and life.
Ml. God’s Purpose.
The eternal purpose of God in
cludes all events: it is holy and wise,
and does not deprive man of free
dom, nor make God the author of sin.
IV. Creation.
For the manifestation of his own
glory, God created the world and all
ihings therein, whether visible or in
visible. and all very gopd. He made
man after his own image; male and
female created he them, with im
mortal souls, endowed with knowl
edge, righteousness and holiness,
having the law of God in their
hearts, and fiower to fulfill it; and
yet under a possibility of transgres
sion. being left to the freedom of
their own will.
V. Sin and the Fall.
Sin is the violation of God's law.
either by omission or commission.
O r first parents, being tempted by
S tan, disobeyed God r s command,
n* 1 so by their own choice fell from
1 < ir original state of innocence and
S »■< -nn union with God, and came
under the powder of sin. the penalty
< f which is eternal death. All men.
by reason of their relationship to
Adam as their representative head
end common ancestor, are born with
a sinful nature from which all
actual transgressions proceed; and'
•out of this condition no one is able
. to deliver himself.
VI. Salvation.
God. who is rich in mercy, so
Iove,d the world that he gave his only
.begotten vSon to be the Saviour of
sinners. The salvation thus provid
ed is freely offered to all men. and
is sufficient for all, but becomes ef
ficacious only in those who believe in
Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
-VII. Election.
Before the foundation of the world.
God the Father chose unto Himself
in Christ a people whom He gave to
His Son. that they should be holy
and jyithout blame before Him in
love. Those who come to years of
discretion receive this salvation only
through faith in Christ, being re
generated by the Holy Spirit. - Those
who die in infancy, and all others
who are incapable of exercising
choice, are regenerated and saved by
Christ through the Spirit who works
when and where and how he pleases.
We thus declare that God’s electing
grave has peopled heaven w r ith a
multitude that no man can number,
and has never sent one soul to hen.
VIII. Christ the Redeemer.
The Lord Jesus Christ, being the
eternal Son of God, became truly
He Is both ’God and man. and the
man. being conceived by the Holy
Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary,
vet without sin; so that He is both
Hod and man. and the only perfect
mediator between God and man. by
whom alone we can come unto the
Father. By a life of perfect obe
dience and by His sacrificial death.
He satisfied divine justice, made a
perfect atonement for sin, and re
conciles us to God. He rose from
the dead ami ascended into heaven,
where he makes continual interces- •
sion for us; and lie sits at the -right
hand of God. clothed with honor and
* power, subduing His people unto
Himself, ruling and defending them,
and restraining and conquering a
His and their enemies. He wil
come again to receive and reward
His people and to judge the world.
IX. The Holy Spirit.
The Hoh Spirit, the third person
rf the Godhead, applies the redemp
tion purchased by Christ. He per
suades and enables men to ohe>
the cali of the gospel, and dwells
continually in every believer as the
spirit of truth, of holiness, of power
and or comfort, and is thereby the
author of all Christian experience
X. Justification by Faith.
Everyone who humbly relies upon
Christ alone for salvation and In re
pentance confesses and forsakes his
sins, is pardoned and accepted a*
righteous in God’s sight, solely on
The ground of the perfect obedience
and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Every
one thus pardoned and accepted is
adopted into God’s famdy, and be
comes an heir of God and a joint
heir with Jesus Christ.
XI. The Christian Life.
The Hoiv Spirit imparts spiritual
life bv the direct operation of his
power; so that, being born from
above we are tlie children of God.
created in Christ Jesus unto good
works, which are not the ground
I, it the fruits of salvation. Dwell
ing in Christ’s people, he purifies
them more and more front sin. en
ables them to render a cheerful and
loving obedience to God s r°mmand-
ments, and perseveres in his ““ftl
fving work Ir. their hearts until at

ence of Christ in glory. Belteveis
may at times backslide.
different and cold. and _ e X e
into grievous sins: yet God does I 1 ”
cast them off. hut chastens them,
and restores them through repent-
ance to fellowship with him.
XII. The Church.
We acknowledge one universal
church, the same in all ages, and
..of which Christ is the he “ d ’ 11 T5?
church invisible consists of all the
redeemed. The church visible is
composed of all those throughout the
world who profess faith In Jesus
Christ, our Lord, together with
their children, and It is the duty of
all believers openly to profess their
faith bv uniting with the church
The church exists to bring to Christ
those whom the tather has Riven
him. and to establish the redeem
ers kingdom. The n.tssmn of me
church is spiritual, andits work Is
to witness to the truth of God to the
ends of the earth, and to preach
the gospel to all men in evert gen
eration tVe heliete in the separa
tion of church and Slate I he scrip
tural form of church government is
by elders or i,re-d.yiers. chosen b>
the Yite-nh.--- 1 the church: bu' we
do not rega. - tile form of govern-
ment of h church an essential to ft*
existence. U'e recognize the validity
or the ministry and sacraments of
all evangelical churches, and seek
the unity of the Spirit in the bonds
of peace. Ministers, elders and dea
cons, at their ordination, are re
quired to subscribe to the system of
doctrine contained in our standards,
but the sole condit-ion for member
ship in the church is a credible con
fession of Christ as Saviour.
XIII. The Sacraments.
There are two sacraments, bap
tism, which symbolizes the work of
the Holy Spirit, and the Lord's Sup
per. which symbolizes tlie sacrificial
death of Christ. Sprinkling or pour
ing is the Scriptural mode of bap
tism. but the mode is not essential
to the validity of the sacrament.
Children of believers, before reach
ing the age of personal accountabil
ity. are to be baptized on the faith
of their parents, who in the sacra
mental act enter into covenant rela
tions with God. We invite to the
Lord's table all who love Hfm in
sincerity and truth and who are in
good and regular standing in evan
gelical churches.
XIV. Death and Resurrection.
The souls of believers are at their
death made perfect in holiness; and
do immediately pass into glory, and
their bodies, being still united to
Christ, do rest in the grave till the
resurrection At the resurrection,
believers being raised up in glory,
shall be openly acknowledged and
acquitted in the day of judgment,
and made ‘ perfectly blessed in the
full enjoyment of God to all eter
nity; hut the wicked shall go away
Into everlasting punishment
XV. The Final State.
There are but two states of future
existence, heaven, the home of the
redeemed, ami hell, the abode of the
finally impenitent. There is no pur
gatory. nor is there any probation
after death. Man retains his iden
tity after death, and there will be
recognition in the future life. We
believe in the ultimate and complete
triumph of the Saviour's kingdom,
and with all his followers in all ages
we toil and pray for the speedy com
ing of the day when our glorious
Ivord shall see of the travail of His
soul and shall he satisfied.

Speaking of the Number of Wash

more will be said as the days grow warmer. But here is the in
teresting part—all these much needed wash dresses may be

a sale to-morrow in the Jury or Department.

that to-morrow will be the day to secure all the wash dresses
this summer is going to call for.
_ Here is the proof:
