Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Significance of the Westminster Standards as a Creed: An Address Delivered Before the Presbytery of New York, November 8, 1897, on the Occasion of the Celebration of the Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Completion of the Westminster Standards
It would be difficult for me adequately to ex press the pleasure which it gives me to respond to your invitation to join with you to-day in celebrating the fifth jubilee of the gift of the Westminster Standards to the world.
