YOUR CREED AS you LIKE 1T


NEW YORK. June All Souls Pro-
tcstant Episcopal church was crowded
at Sunday mornings service. DIR. X.
Heber Newton's sermon was vigorous
onslaught upon the orthodox theory
that creeds must be- interpreted accord
ing 90 their literal phraseology.
Among other things DIR. Newton said:
"a creed is 20 bc read as understand
ing its true authority. No creed rests
upon the authority of Christ himself.
Creeds do rest apparently ON the au-
thority of the councils which issued
them. But this is not all that might
bc desired. A universal council il not
a synonym for the Almighty. Crccds
are not transcripts of some heavenly
manuscript set mp from copy brought
down by little angels. The truth of
the creed rests not ON the authority of
the body setting IL forth, but ON It's
own intrinsic truthfulncss. It's inter
probation Of the Christian conscious
ness. Its authority will last 50 long.
and only So long. as IL continues thus
20 express the Christian consciousness
and 10 interpret satisfactorily the
problems of nature and man i'm the
light OF the spirit Of Jesus Christ

cused of attempting To escape, stoutly

dicted himself 10y saying that all the
prisoners were guilty with him. The
knife used was six inches long and one
half inch thick.

took pains 20 turn the hose on the spot
where he to-day broke through the
