AT THE GOSPEL TENT

The creed power is the greatest
menace to the progress and growth
of Christianity. While we are cou-
stantly informed that this is an age OF
great liberality and breadth OF mind
in religious matters, nevertheless the
people allow their preachers to q
their thinking for them, and as a re
suit there are thousands Of church
members who can give no reason for
the things they believe than that they
We're 50 taught by their preachers.
Moral courage is lacking to step
aside from the beaten track. and this
leads many to follow in the steps Of
learned men Reluctant to lnvesti-
gate for themselves. thousands are
becoming fastened to errors chains,
said Carlyle B. Haynes, the evangelist
and lecturer, Sunday night at the Cos
pei tent. on Oklawaha avenue. to his
large Sunday night congregation. His
subject was Walking in the Light.
He made strong appeal for all to
throw aside the creeds of the church
es and individually make an investi-
cation Of the teachings of the Bible.
He said in part;
Men are not considered safe today
in the churches under Gods keeping.
They must not only hear the voice of
the Great Shepherd, but they must
join some sect and hire a seat in
some particular meeting house They
are not, like the flock of Jesus, free
10 enter in by him. and go in and
out, and find pasture; they must be
fenced in by a creed, imprisoned in
some narrow pen. Of which the chief
advantage is that it offers excellent
facilities for shearing. And here, IS
in the case of other tlocks, the lower
the feed is the higher the fence must
be When the feed gets low, the
fence is built higher an extra rail is
put on it. or an extra bar to hold them
IN, and this makes it possible to keep
them from seeking more inviting pas
