A CONDENSED CREED.


The papers inform us that the Tomp-
skins Avenue CONGREGATIONAL church.,
of Brooklyn, N. ", requires its men,
bers to assent to tile following simple
statement only: do you here and now
confess your faith aud trust in the
Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, and
consecrate your life tO" the doing of His
will, according to your understanding
of that will as revealed III the Holy
Scriptures?" The above seems signlti-
cant as%one the signs among religi-
GUS people of growing desire and de-
Termination to exclude from their
creeds all which can possibly be deem-
ed non-essential and to bring different
sects into closer harmony. There is
some reason to hope that such persons
among us-and their number is not
small-as have never thought Of aban-
doning their belief in Christianity. but
have been unduly perplexed at the
length Of the creed they were urged to
accept, may hereafter maintain. their
reputation for SOundness of faith with
out parting with their self-respect.
The apparent solecism that the more
planks there are III platform the less
number of people it is able to accomO-
date, is proving real truth in church
affairs.-Pioneer Press.
In a recent article on Broad gauge
Churches" we spoke of the growing
tendency to break away from what is
mere theology and to organize churches
on broader basis, allowing members
some freedom of thought and interpre-
tation for themselves. The idea Of
whole bodies of men clinging with a
dogged tenacity to creeds established
centuries ago by men whose minds
were coarse and narrow, begins to be
seen by the people in all its absurdity.
The fact is, we ought all to turn in
and ridicule the absurd old creeds out
of existence.
Such Il church as the above mention
ed is much needed in Worthington.
Who will start the ball? We feel con-
6de,lt that such a church, with q good
strong preacher at the head of it, would
soon have as large Il membership us all
the other churches put together.

DIPLOMACY.

La Vie Parisienne on Diplomacy:
Diplomacy is ut once an art a trade. a
science and religion: only it is al ar,
which only admits the dilcttanti; SCI
ence that attracts bu: amateurs; 4 trade
engaged in merely by the idle. and 4 re-
ligion whose devotccs are ali skeptlcs,
As in war, love and gambling, the first
thing requisite in diplomacy is luck &;
cleverncss is merely a merit. a dipio-
matist should always be Seli-possessed
without ever belonging TO himself.
Dealings with women may be useful to
him, il he dcsls with them rs they do ri
stores. pricing everything and buying
nothing. Nearly every woman is Il
born diplomatist; very rarely. though,
does she become a politician. Diploma
fists do not. by any means. abhor truth,
but they prefer it rs the Turk does his
wives - hidden away or veilcd. The
best way not to give yourself away 10
anybody, Is to lavish yourself upon cv-
crybody. Diplomacy resembles some
what the theater, in that not requiring a
person to live, 1t grants him 4 dispensa-
ton from growing Old. 1t must have
been a woman that called diplomatists
"rebuscs who think they are oracles.'

\ Ballad ofa "quiet" street

\ Eallai Ofa quiet street.
Alas they love. but disagree.
AS lovers sometimes will. you know;
And each from pleasant slav cry free,
From loves dear port sails out to sea,
And carries heavy freight of Woe.
HIS lays and nights are full Of pain;
Life Is no longer lite to him.
She looks and longs for him in vain;
her tears ut times tall like the rain;
Her loving eyes are sadly dim.
Although the sore is ovcrgrown,
stu stubbornlv they stay apart;
Loves sweet, mysterious telephone
Records no dear anu tender tone,
And heart no longer answers heart.
As down the street he haps TO stray
one pleasant evening hour in June,
An organ-grinder comes that way,
And stops before II stoOp to play
Some nntiquated, torturIng tune.
He tries to close his angered ears,
And ha-tens TO escape The sound.
Bnt wait what Is that he hears,
That gives his cheek the touch OF tears
And makes his pulses throb and bound
1t is IA well-remembered air,
Which Ia the blessed uist belongs

'Tis rudely rendered. tina, he knows

But at his heart the swelling grows,
And proves that under al his woes
Her memory is fresh and green.

He gives the grinder bright largesse.
But what is this that meets his eye!

Whose name he does not need TO guess

Tears, blushes, talk al tender love.
He does not mind the public place
So he can see her happy face.

We insist that the democratic duty
bids men within the democratic party to
stay there. We insist, also. that the de-
sire of men outside the two great parties,
whether they call themselves Nation
ais or "Grecnbackers, or "Currency
Reiormers.' or Labor Reformers." are
foolish il they do not avail themselves
OF the vast and costly machinery ready
made to their hands. the mechanism OF
the democratic party.
" hen Maine clasps hands with Tex
as when Vermont and Iowa are agreed :;
when the democracy Of Massachusetts
and New York become frightened, the
Ohio idea is in 4 good way. The duty is
that democrats in name and profession
should not appear now to talter,and that
the democrats who are democrats from
interest. though not acknowledging al
lance to the party. should vote at home.
and not throw away their sutfrages on a
party without power.

THE TELEPHONE.
from the st. Louis Journal

from the st. Louis Journal
There is 4 lively interest taken in the
telephone just at present. and a visit to
the exchange at once bears out this as
scrtiun, that the time will come when
there will be rs much business done be-
tween business houses with the use of
that instrument as there Is at present by
messengers. Though Boston is one Of
the oldest cities in the Cnion. and sup
posed TO be filled with Yankee wisdom,
furnished the invention, yet it remains
for man from the future great to put
the invention of the aforesaid Yankees
INTO use rs medium OF dong business.
The Yankee is Il good inventor, but he
can not make his own invention work.
Shortly alter the Introduction of the
telephone the idea was conceived by
MT Durant ut having them put in suci,
L way that men could transmit orders
on them without having to have a direct
line to the house he wishes to commune
cate. lur if the line was direct from his
Office To his place OF business. down
town. he would be no better oil beyond
this point than he was before To OBJ
viatc this the telephone exchange was
established at which all the wires from
the business houses oeltercd, that have
connection with the exchange And
those who have Il box in their office can
be pu: III direct communication with any
other house that is connected with the
exchange. a visit to the exchange was
made on Saturday by journal reporter,
about the hour OF o'clock in the alter
noon, and the practical working of this
arrangement was at once approved. A
drug house on Second street was calling
to be put III communication with house
