The accident ‘was witnessed by several thousand people who had gathered to watch the fire.

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 18.—The cus- toms authorities have prohibited the en- try of typewriters into Turkey, and 200 machines now- in the custom-house have been ordered returned to the consignor. The authorities have“taken up the pecu- Hayly characteristic attitude that there is no distinct feature about typewriting by which the authorship can be recognized or a person using a machine be traced, and that consequently any one is able to rput in type seditious writings without fear of compromising himself. Hektographic paste and fluid are also hibited for similar reasons.

I DAY, MAY 19, 1901 ll]l]I}TH RIES WILL GAIN STRENGTH Result Expected by the Presbyterian Revision Committee. Report Submitted for Con- sideration by General Assembly. —e PHILADELPHIA, May 18.—Contrarv to expectations, the Presbyterlan General ‘Assembly did not discuss the report of the committee on revision of the creed of faith, which was to-day presented to the commissioners. Thursday and Friday next were set aside for the discussion of revision. Appended to the report of the twentieth century fund committee were resolutions which urge churches still burdened with .indebtedness to take steps to remove such within the next two years; requesting congregations and Individual sivers to “prayertully consider the enlarged needs and larger opportunities of the boards of the theological seminaries, of the academ- ic, colleglate and charitable institutions of the church, and speedily to provide for those greater needs as the Lord may en- able them to do”; calling upon the synods and the Presbyterians to ‘‘continue to prosecute this work during the ensulng year by organized effort and the hearty co-operation with the general committee, and providing that the twentieth century movement be continued for anoher year. The revision report, after a large amount of preliminary matter, continues as follows: After the patient consideration given to this important subject, and after a protracted but harmonious discussion of the subject in all its bearings and in its possible issues, it was de- termined to_submit to the general ‘assembly to convene in Philadelphia, May 16, 1501, the fol- loging findings and recommendations, viz.: 1. That the returns indicate that the church desires some change in its credal statement. 2. That the returns indicate that no change is desired which would in any way impalr the in- tegrity of the system of doctrine contained in the confession of faith. 3. These returns indicate that it is the mind of the church that the confession shall be in- terpreted throughout in harmony with the teaching of Scripture that God is mot willing that any one should perish, nor is it the decree of God, but the wickednees of thefr own hearts, which shuts some men out from the salvation freely and lovingly offered in Christ Jesus to all sinners. 4 These returns indicate that a plurality of the Presbyteries desire that changes should be made by some new statement of present doc- rines. 5. The returns also indicate a desire on the part of many Presbyteries for some revision of the present confession, especially in chapter III, chapter X, section 8; chapter XVI, section 7; chapter XXIT, section 3, and chapter XXV, section 6, with additional statements concern- Ing the love of God for all men, missions and the Holy Spirit. () In view of these facts we recommend that a committee, as provided for by the form of government, chapter XXIII, section 3, be appointed by this assembly. (b) We recommend that this committee be instructed to prepare a brief summary of the reformed faith, bearing the same relation to the confession’ which the shorter catechism bears to the larger catechism, and formed on the general model of the consensus creed pre- pared for the assembly of 1592, or the articles of faith of the Presbyterian Church of Eng- land, -both of which documents are appended to the committee's report and submitted to the assembly to be referred to the committee that may be appointed. This summary is not to be a substitute for the confession, and is not to affect the terms of subscription, but to vindicate and clear the | doctrines of the church from all false asper- sions and misconceptions, to give a better un- derstanding of what is most surely believed among us, and {s in no sense to impair, but rather to manifest and maintain, the integrity of the reformed faith. (c) We further recommend that this com- mittee be instructed to prepare amendments of chapter III; chapter X, section 3; chapter XVI, section 7; chapter XXII, section 3, and chapter XXV, 'section 6, of our confession of faith, either by modifications of the text or by declaratory statement, so as more clearly to express the mind of the church with additional statements concerning the love of God for all men, missions and the Holy Spirit. It being understood that the revision shall in no way impair the integrity of the system of doctrine set forth in our confession and taught in the Holy Scriptures. The members of the committee appointed by the last assembly unanimously agreed to all the findings and recommendations of this re- port, with the exception that Rev. Dr. Wil- liam McKibbon and E. C. W. Humphrey could not approve of the recommendation to the assembly to instruct the committee that might be appointed to prepare a summary of the reformed faith to be submitted to the presbyteries, in connection with such other amendments and statements as might be pre- pared. These members gave notice that they would submit to the assembly a report em- bodying the findings and recommendations of this_report, omitting the recommendation to instruct a committee that might be appointed to ;repm such a summary of the reformed faith. In conclusion we feel justified iIn the state- ment, and we think it fitting to state, that our late lamented member, General Benjamin Harrison, gave clear expression to views fore the' committee which assure us that he 7 would have joined us in the findings and rec- ommendations of this report. The report of the committee on mis- slonary and benevolent offerings did not meet with favor by a majority of the committee. A recommendation is made adding to overture No. 1 a new section as follows: The component parts of a particular church are: The sessions, the deacons, the communi- cant members, with their baptized children; the Sabbath school, with its scholars, teachers ard officers; the various socleties or agencies organized for the carryirg on of Christian work and development of Christian life e. The Rev. Dr. George T. Purves of New York made a motion referring the report to the committee on church polity. He said he feared such an addition to the overture might introduce a new definition of the church and that this definition might be used to the serious detriment of the church in the fact that Sunday school children would be allowed a vote in_church meetings. John Willis Baer of Boston, secretary of the Christian Endeavor Soclety, spoke in favor of the report on the ground that i adopted it would be the first time in the history of the church the Christian Endeavorers and Sabbath school children were given constitutional recognition in the church. The report was referred to the committee on church polity. During the afternoon most of the standing committees selected yesterday by the various districts met and elected their chairmen as follows: Bills and Overtures, the Rev. Dr. C. A.

This Is of the Importance 1] Utmost MI 3 to You The man is yet unknown who is great enough to master the almost limitless fleld of medicine and surgery. No one is more strongly convinced of this than the members of the staff of DR. MEYERS & CO. Other physicians, however, have tried to do this, but have met with disappointing results to themselves and often disastrous- Iy to their patients. For this reason DR. MEYERS & CO. determined at the very beginning of their professional careers, away back In 1851, to limit their practice to a single line of diseases, and to originating and perfecting cures for such ailments. They treat, consequently, diseases and weaknesses which they are absolutely certain they can positively cure, to STAY CURED forever—namely: NERVOUS DEBILITY, LOST VIGOR, PREMATURE DECAY, WASTING DRAINS, UNNATURAL LOSSES, STRICTURE, RUPTURE.

Each case is treated separately and scientifically and carefully watched as the cure progresses. DR. MEYERS & CO. never administer mineral or other dangerous drugs, nothing being used but the extracts of barks, buds, berries, gum roots, flowers, plants and leaves. Men who are suffering or embarrassed with weakness or disease should not lose sight of these facts: BODILY AFFECTIONS WILL NOT GET CURED WITHOUT HELP-THE RIGHT KIND OF HELP.
