MILLS TELLS WHY
He CHANGED IDEAS

why I Changed My Religious
Opinion" was the topic of Rev. b. Fay
Mills, permanent minister of the Los
Angeles Fellowship, in Blanchard hall
Angeles Fellowship, in Blanchard hall.
Yesterday morning. Rev. Mr.. Mills has
long been identified with religious
work and has several times spoken of
his change of opinions regarding the
work of the church. Rev. Mr.. Mills
said in part:
Two years ago l delivered an ad-
dress upon this topic in response to
numerous requests. For two reasons.
first because of the continued mani
tested interest of those who heard that
address and of others who did not hear
1t, and second because / think / un-
derstand better now why my opinions
were changed than l did two years
ago, l have consented to select this
topic for this occasion.
Il have not changed my faith. ex-
cept to get more of it. / have not
changed my principles. except to see
more perfectly the value of the great
teachings of the sermon on the mount.
What there was in my character that
was of value l have not changed, eX-
cept as l have become more loyal to
truth as revealed to me, and although
my theology has been altered | have
kept my religion.
This was not n voluntary change.
The causes for it were hidden. 1t was
not sudden change. The seeds had
been long maturing and at last were
ready TO produce fruit. 1t was not a
once-tor-al change. 1t was not a sub
stltution Of one set of opinions for an
other.
1T was the adoption of a new prin-
ciple of intellectual, moral and spirit
ual evolution, the adoption of truth for
authority instead of authority for
truth. the casting off the bondage of
the domination of outside authorities
and casting myself wholly upon the
rational intuitions of my own soul.
MY former opinions concerning God,
man and the universe had ceased 10
satisfy the demands of my intellect.
THE foundation facts of Christian
or Pauline theology are two: First the
fall of man, and second, the miraculous
life of Jesus. The Fundamental doc
trines, namely the universal condemna-
tion of the race and the possible re-
demption of few through the blood
of Christ, are founded upon these
foundation facts. Now these funda-
mental facts are either not true or not
susceptible Of proof, and consequently
the doctrines derived from them can
not be correct. The fall of man Is not
fact in the sense in which it is
taught in Christian circles There
must be a sense in which the whole
creation has fallen thas is, by which
the universe falls in the knowledge and
consciousness Of God, but ever since
we have known man on the earth he
has been progressing mentally and

The seventeenth anniversary of
the founding of the Woodmen of
the World organization will occur
on june 6 next and the local
Camp of this order proposes to
celebrate the event in some ap-
propriate manner. For some time
the matter of dedicating the new

attention of the local Camp and
at the meeting on May l it was
decided to dedicate the new hall
on the seventeenth anniversary of
the organization of the order.
Carrying out this decision, the
necessary committees were ap-
pointed to get up programme
and to arrange other details in
connection with the celebration.
1t is proposed to have barbecue
and picnic and to have prominent
speakers here from other places.
One or more of the State officials
will be here and also Congress-
man Sheppard of Texas, who is
a prominent Woodman.
Arrangements will probably be
made for excursions over the
railroads entering this place and
it is expected that the largest
crowd ever in the town will be
here on that date.
The local Camp is large in
membership and owns one of the
prettlest buildings. just COM
pleted, of any camp in the State.
The hall will be dedicated ON
June 6 and all who attend on that
occasion are assured of a good
time.
