His sympathetic advice TO Presbyte-
! rian brethren Is, that ihe entire creed
he recast; or. better still. that 1t and
| all other creeds be abandoned, and the
Bible as n whole be accepted. Then.
he argued. all Bible students could
come together without prejudice for
mutual assistance aud untrammeied
growth In grace along Bible lines.
While the Pastor mentioned Presby-
terinns. his thought included all Chris
tians. For surely many Others than
Presbyterians have been consisning
adults and infants to. the number Of ut
least 5000 every day. or 100000
every year. to eternal torture. II not
because non-elect. then because .up.
recenerate. or unbaptized. Surely all
intelligent people are out OF accord
with such proposition. Surely all
must agree that some great mistake
has been made during the Dark Ages.
and that under the influence OF that
mistake. as expressed In our creetls.
our God has been slandered. Surely
today every thinking person will con-
cede that human being planning
such atrocities would be II Thousand
times more devflfsh than any one
known In history. And surely our
great God. our Creator. could not he
worse than the worst and most de-
PRAYED OF all His creatures.
On the contrary. God must Of neces-
sity lie the very persOnifcdtion OF att
the graces-Justice. Wisdom. Love and
Power. Evidently the God who fore
knew AMI determined TO send these
32O00.000 human beings per year TO an
eternity OF torture would not only not
be u God al all. but would be the most
terrible devil that the human mind
could conceive.
Bible Students are realizing that n
great mistake has occurred. and that
the Bible teaches nothing of the kind
We had supposed. More and more, as
the eyes OF their understanding omen
TO proper interpretations Of Gods
Word. they are appreciatinc the d.
vine character. and the Bible Ms never
before. q -, -. 49,.
The Pastor declared that week
from now no will consider some OF the
Masters dark savings and show how
they have been mIsInterpreted and
misanpIied. Today he mnst content
himself with the subject In hand He
must discuss Gods Relationship TO the
