"NlODERN CHRISTIANS FLAT
 EORM."

President Hyde, ol boWuoih Noi leee. is the author of platform which he proposes as common pas is of action for modern Chrls- tians." In this document of twenty one articles, recently presented De- fore the Maine Congregational con ference. the emphasis is put upon doing instead of believing. A creed, explains President Hyde, "is cuoch- ed in the technical philosophical terminology prevalent at the time of it's formation,' and is state ment of religious truth; a platform "uses tie plain language of today and sets forth what we propose to do." "rhe two are not necessarily inconsistent: though by no means identiCar.'' Tie articles, for the most part. concern themselves with the field known to theological science as Christian ethics; what is called Christian doctrine oN dog matics is left almost wholly out of view, though there are in the plat form forms of statement which em- body an implicit creed. These forms of statement-to quote the comment of Professor John B. Clark of Co., lumbia college" admit of the free interpretation which most men are forced to put on Nle statements now in use, even though these state- ments do not fairly bear the new construction"
 The platform expresses the will of Christians to serve God and adore Jesus Christ; to condemn as sin all greed, lust, pride, hate. and sloth; to forgive the wrongdoer when he expresses shame and grief; to relieve the poor, comfort the sick and dying, assuring tne latter that ''no individuals share in Gods great life of love can ever come to naught." It views the observance of baptism and the Lords supper as symbols; urges the Christian observance of "one day in seven;' approves of missions. church coop eration, and the efforts to maintain peace between nations, reason and arbitration to be applied to the set. clement of international differences Herewith is quoted in full those sec tions bearing upon the Bible and other writings, amusements, di vorce and the wage earner:
 We will cherish as sacred al writings which clearly and simpl! set forth Gods will as the guide to conduct and the secret of blessed ness; holding in highest reverence the Bible, which judged by this standard, has stood the test of time
 We will use and enjoy as Gods good gifts the things that are pleas ant and healthful; we win discard and discourage the things that cor rupt and degrade; leaving to eacf individual Christian conscience the decision of what to accept and what ito forego.
 "We will support the family as Gods institution for uniting mar and woman in love, for rearins children in virtue. and for minister ing to the aged in tenderness: W, will counsel due consideration be for marriage. and forbearance unti seventy times seven in the delicat adjustments of family fife; ye when adultery, desertion, or gros and wanton brutality break tn bonds of domestic affection beyon the power of patience and charit to restore. we win sanction for tn innocent party such relief from il tolerable tyranny as tie law of tf state allows.
