BREsLAU, February 10, 1914.

The following is the confession of faith
adopted by the followers Of John Ronge:
~. We throw off the allegiance TO the
Bishop Of Rome and his whole establish
meHt.
80. We maintain full liberty Of con-
science, and coniemn every compulsion,
falsehood and hypocrisy.
80. The basis and contents o the chris
tian belief, are the bible.
80 The free investigation and inter-
probation is not to be restrained by external
authority.
"5 As the essential contents Of our
faith, we lay down the following symbols :
ed believe in God the Father, who has
created the world by His omnipotent
word, and who governs it in wisdom,
Justice and love.
al believe in Jesus Christ our Saviour,
who, by his doctrine, his life and his
death, has saved US from bondage and
sin. Ea
al believe in the working Of the Holy
Ghost upon the earth, holy, universal
Christian Church. forgiveness Of sins
and life everlasting. Amen
"6. We recognize only two sacraments
as instituted by Chrs!-Baptism and the
Lords Supper.
~. We uphold infant baptism, and re-
ceive, by solemn act of confirmation, as
self-acting members of the congregation,
those persons who are sufficiently instructed
in the doctrine Of faith.
80. The Lords Supper will be distri-
buied to the congregation. as Instituted by
Christ, in both forms. Auricular confess
sion is rejected.
80. We recognize marriage as an in
siitution ordained by God. and therefore 10
be kept holy by man. We maintain for it
the sanction of the church and consider,
with regard to the conditions and resiric-
lions applying 10 it, the laws of the State
alone as binding.
40. We believe and confess that Christ
is the only mediator between God and man;
we reject, therefore, the invocation Of saints,
the alteration of relics and images, the re-
mission Of sins by the priest, and all pill
grimages.
al We believe that the so-callsd good
works have only value in SO far as they are
the emanation OF christian sentiments we
reject. therefore, all commands of fasting.
"l2. We believe and confess that it is
the frs. duty of the Christian to manifest
bis faith by works Of Christian love-"

We are pleased ,ha, the editor Of the

We are pleased that the editor Of the
American saw fit, in the delugo of words
he poured out upon US in his last, TO give
our own articles entire. They will correct
any misapprehenson that might otherwise
be entertained. Certainly. no one will OBJ
ject TO the code of religion or morals we
would establish. We have said nothing
against the institution of the Sabbath. In
view of the imperfect condition of the mind
we consider the restraint it imposes as high
y necessary and beneficial; and if there
were no other consideration, certainly il
would be an object, in the universal wicked
moss, to have one day devoted to higher and
holier purposes. Where the strong internal
principle OF right, which impels man to walk
at all times in the fear of God and his own
conscience, is wanting, these restraints are
peculiarly necessary; and as no small share
OF mankind are of that character, We could
not desire to see the institution abolished.
But we do anticipate time when the great
mass Of mankind will live under the inhu-
ence OF motives different from those which
now animate them; when the mind in view
OF It's expansive and progressive power, shall
stop by step, have made itself master OF
truth, and thereby discovered its true rela-
ton TO Deity. Then men will find that to
do good mot talk t) is the secret Of true
happiness; and SO finding we shall have the
condition OF things of which we have before
spoken as TO be desired; that everyday coz
rectncss of deporlmcn, which will need no
special times nor days on which TO vaunt or
manifest ITSELF If we deprecate fast days,
and days of special thankfulness ia special
manner, it is because we consider, aside
fiom the immediate evils which grow out of
them, that by making essentials of non-es-
sentials, the mind is impcded in lis search
after truth. and the progress of the tue reli-
gion to that exten, retarded. es..-..
Oar friend need not put himself to the
trouble of citing US to the opinion of Wash
ington or any other nan in these matters.
We have fallen into habit OF thinking for
ourself, and we receive opinions only SO far
as We can reconcile them with our ideas Of
truth. We can cite our friend to good au-
thorily for burning for witchcraft, but we
doubt whether il would convince him or any
one else of the correctness Of the thing.
The mass of mind is continually changing;
we have discarded many of the idle and un-
meaning ceremonies of earlier days, and we
shall discard many more, however tenacious
ly the narrow aud illiberal may be disposed
to cling to them.
There are divers petty little filings at our
self in the article alluded to. Such things
in no-wiso disturb our equanmity, for We
know there are demagogues in religion as
we'll as politics, who must have their hobbys.
Our friend is not the first who has mounted
this one by any means, as he will no: proba-
bly, be the last. %. ..
