MORE LIBERAL CREEDs

The National Council Of Congrega
tional churches, in session AT Kansas
city, has just adopted uew confession
of faith. This statement is simple
brief, full Of faith, hope, love. II dis
places an elaborate creed Of wordy aud
complicated definitions adop'ed tnit,y
years ago. The new statement leaves
out several of the older doctrines, eier.
nal punishment of tue wicked for one,
once deemed sacred and essential. The
old Scotch woman, who on hearing u
sermon emphasizing this doctrine af.
ter the older Cslvinistic fashion, de
clared that she fel, greatly comforted,
would find little to cheer her in this
confession of optimism.
This action has caused scarcely -
ripple in the newspaper press Twenty
years ago the man who proclaimed such
u creed could not have preached in
ninc.tenths Of the Orthodox pulpits.
Whether one svmpathizes with these
changes or not, most people feet that
u good deal of cumbersome baggage
has been left behind by the churches
in the past few years. II sunday morn
ing, man is weary with the fret aud
grind of life, he looks for message ui
good cheer and resolution. The lonely
youth from the country asks for the
voice of sympathy. The rich MAI
needs the exhortation toward generos
ity and kindliness, the poor man, pa
tience and hope. The old time doc'riu
al sermon, with Us formidable head
aud its ponderous distractions, seems
as remote ~ some foreign tongue.
TO some of the older people bred il
u day Of iron bound creeds, the new
forms seem pale and vague. If the!
he" We every comma in the Bible wa
placed there directly by the hand o
God, let them cherish a faith that ha
made their own characters stauncl
strong aud devoted. But every AZ
must speak its own '0ngue, and it need
u gospel in "a voice il can understood.
