DISREGARD OF CHURCH oREEDs.


The growing disregard for church
creeds as distinct from the essential
doctrine of salvation is shown hy the
indifference of the public to the heresy
trials that have been carried on by
church authorities for several weeks.
n n of which is still pending. AT
n time. and not SO very many years
ago, to be under ecclesiastical ban for
holding heretical views was to be under
the popular ban also. If Rev. Henry
Preserved Smith had been suspended
from the ministry in those days he
would hardly have been able to secure
an audience had he wished to appeal to
the people, and had he done SO he
would have been looked upon with
distrust as in probable league with Sa-
tan. Now he would have no trouble in
gaining an audience of intelligent church
members who would listen to him with
respect mt accept or reject his argu-
ments without prejudice and according
to their own Judgment. They would
know that his suspension meant moth
ing decisive, since nearly half the men,
bers of the church committee were OPP
posed to it, and they would know, too,
that had the ruling been unanimous it
did not thereby suppress the right of
free thought and free speech and the
results of scholarly Investigation. But
while they would listen to Smith, and
feel an interest in his opinions, the in
terest would not be absorbing. The
truth is that the people are caring less
and less for minor details of doctrine
and for UNCONVENTIONAL differences. The
drift of intelligent Christianity is to-
ward the practical religion which is
shown in the acceptance of the essential
principles common to all creeds and an
active benevolence in its myriad forms.
Tolerance of the opinions of others does
not necessarily imply laxity of principle
or of faith. UNCONVENTIONAL bonds are
loose. but the spirit of Christianity con-
tinues to extend its power. Even in
Presbyterian circles, outside of the
professional theologians, there is but
slight interest manifested in the trials
of Smith and Briggs. Doctrine still has
weight in that church, but its members
make a distinction between theology
and religion, and have little concern
with the wrangling of the creed
makers and guardians. They do
not 60 in great numbers to hear
the arguments for and against
the accused ministers. but when
Evangelist Mills appeals to them SIM
ply as Christians or as people who want
to be Christians, they flock after him in
crowds. Mills breaches no doctrine but
the love of God to all mankind, and
Methodists and Presbyterians, Baptists
and Roman Catholics go to hear him, and
are not concerned with his views on
verbal inspiration Of the Scriptures or
other immaterial matters. Such points
must be discussed, doubtless, but the
discussions are taking their place among
the matters which in nowise concern
the welfare of mankind. Eventually,
the ~theologians themselves will attach
less Importance to them, and the world
will suffer no loss.

The organs of the Weaver party are
very noisy over their claims that they
polled a million votes in the late cleo
tion. claiming, of course, the gain of
three-quarters of a million voters to
their heresies since 1883. 1t is true that
the Weaver ticket did receive about
900. COO votes, but a few figures and facts
will prove that they are not the votes of
converts. but chiefly of Republicans or
Democrats who have voted the Weaver
ticket to help the election of either the
Republican or Democratic tickets. Two
thirds of the Weaver vote was drawn
from n or the other of the two old
parties by combinations. In Alabama,
Weaver received So, i61 votes and Harri-
son 1884, while in 1888 the latter re-
ceived &c. 197. This shows that tho Re-
