PUBLIC OPINION—INFANT DAMNATION.

ST. LOUIS, MO., May 18th, 1874.

_To the Editor of the Globe_:

I will give a reward of fifty dollars to any one who will

give the name of a Presbyterian minister, who is a member

of a Presbytery, under the jurisdiction of the General

Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, of the United States

of America, who has, at any time, preached the doctrine of

infant damnation; and I will give fifty dollars additional

reward, to any one who can point out any article in the

Confession of Faith or Catechism of this Church, teaching

this horrid doctrine. As infant damnation has been charged

upon Presbyterians in an editorial, of recent date, in the

_Globe_, the above reward is offered for the proof. That

the elect are incapable of sin, is also stated in the same

editorial, to be a doctrine of the Presbyterian Church. This

also is untrue.
