Address Of Beauty and Thought
Was the Verdict 81 All
STIRRED LARGE AUDIENCE
His Subject Was ~The Formal aud
Spiritual Elements in Religion
Men Lose Sight OF the Spirit Which
Forms or symbols Represent
Thoughts for Deep Study.

| Taking as his subject THE Formal
and Spiritual Elements in Religion"
DR.. Edwin Minis delivered a stirring
and scholarly address at the Y. NJ. C.
"A. yesterday afternoon.
/ DR.. Minis pointed out the necessity
of having creeds and symbols in re-
ligion. but emphasized the Importance
of having the Spirit behind these
forms. He declared that all forms
and creeds in religion were but the
outward manifestations of the one
great Spirit, and that when these
forms and creeds ceased to express
this Spirit they became mere hollow
mockeries.
THE Shirt OF God is vague, in
.aefinite thing. 1t is only when the
Spirit becomes tangible in the in
carnate Son that We are able to CON-
prehend it A certain amount OF
formality is necessary to religion.
"The church buildings is one form
of religion that is necessary. The
many churches throughout the land
are the abiding places OF God. An
other formal element is organization.
Religion. TO be power in the world,
must be organized.
Another form necessary to religion
is symbols. What a wonderful thing
Is symbol. Nationalism Is vague.
indefinite thing. But when it is SYM
bolized in a flag. what a glorious
thing it becomes. OF all symbols the
symbols OF our Christian religion are
The most wonderful. What a symbol
is the symbol OF the cross. What a
meaning have the symbols OF the
sacrament.
The symbols of the church are often
decried. Spiritualize and vitalize
them and see what you will have.
What about creeds? We live in a
time when we say that we do not
need creeds- A creed is nothing more
than an intellectual formula by which
men live and work. In the course OF
Intellectual development we may have
to have a new formulation OF creeds.
II is remarkable how much uniformity
there is in all creeds.
Now what is the trouble with all
OF the formal elements In religion. II
is that We lose sigh. OF the Spirit
which these forms represent; we see
only the outward forms and forget the
soul Of the forms. II Is then that
these formalities and creeds become
mere mockeries. Organization ceases
to become effective except as a subter-
fuge for true religion. When we look
Tor men in The church We find only
church members. The only thing that
Is worth while in symbols is what
they signify. The sacramento today
have in many cases become mere So
cial functions. OF all the hollow
mockeries the worst mockery Is a
creed that one processes and does not
believe.
What happens when the formal ole
ments become mere forms? Either
men turn their backs upon them and
reject all creeds, or men Of greater
constructive ability put new life into
the old forms and inaugnraie a new
age Of reformation.
The time will come when we shall
do away with all creeds and forms
which are mere outward and imper-
feet incarnations. We shall stand in
the presence OF the great eternal
Spirit and the earth shall have be-
come the new Jerusalem.
