Note and Comment

SOME weeks ago at a convention of Presbyterian ministers held in Valparaiso, Ind., it was recommended to strike out of the Presbyterian creed the words “eternal torment,” which have stood there for more than two hundred years. The milder word “destruction” was to be inserted in its place. These ministers, representing seventy-five churches, agreed unanimously to work for the elimination of the words “eternal torment” from the creed throughout the world. They declared that the doctrine was unscriptural; and so it is. The only wonder is that they have clung to it so long as they have, and that so many still adhere to it.
