The committee presents eleven overtures, the main ones being those relating to foreordination. The question of the salvation of infants was dealt with as follows: "We believe all dying in infancy is included In Election Grace and are regenerated anil saved by Christ through the Spirit, who works when and where and how He pleases." This will likely be the only overture to which an exception will be taken. The remainder of the revised confession is in the main a reiteration of the old rules and doctrines.
