Excerpt from The Andover Review, Vol. 12: A Religious and Theological Monthly; July December, 1889 European Revolution has held the American or voluntary church theory, had qualified its subscription in more ways than one. It asked subscription to the Westminster creed and catechism on the understanding that the church did not approve of anything in these documents which teaches compulsory and intolerant prin ciples in religion. The intolerant passages referred to are those which the American Presbyterians cut out in revising the same confession in 1788, and they are now universally condemned. Even the Free Church, when it left the state in 1843, felt the pressure of them so far as to pass an act to disclaim intolerant or persecuting principles. But it still maintained subscription to the unchanged confession. And the form of subscription in it and in the Established Church alike was still the very strict one dating from 1711: I do sincerely own and believe the whole doctrine contained in the confession to be the truths of God, and I do own the same as the confession of my faith. The Uniwd Presbyterians had already adopted a more reasonable formula, subscribing the confession generally as an exhibition of the sense in which I understand the Holy Scriptures.
