Jesus. the Savior

Jesus, the Savior"
AS to the scriptural statement that
Jesus arose from his tomb on the
third day after his cEucifixion, Dr..
Aked said: -
Many said that he was not dead.
To his followers, to whom he COM
municated the effect of his transcend
ent personality, the belief that he was
still among them is understandable.
Do believe that he now lives? Yes,
the living, personal Savior and Re-
deemer of the world"
DIR. Aked also pointed out that the
word "atonement'' was not to be
found in the New Testament The
word used for it is reconciliation, "
lie said, and meant that Jesus had
come to reconcile the people with
God.

"No New Testament writer has ever
said that Christ was God; you get

be regarded as analogous to that
which arose in the case of Williams,

chairman of the church federation was
asked for.
In explaining his position, Doctor
Aked is reported in the San Francisco
Bulletin of February 2 as follows:
Il don't believe in the immaculate
conception of Jesus. l believe that
Joseph was the father Of Jesus" was
the statement of Rev. Charles F.
Aked this morning, commenting upon
his sermon of yesterday in Temple
Emanuel on the subject, Jesus Christ,
as Preached by the Liberal School of
Modern Theology" In that sermon
Aked said:
AS to the creed of the miraculous
birth Of Jesus, let us examine the
books of the New Testament Mark
did not speak of the birth of Jesus
John, who wrote mostly of the death
and ascension of Christ, did not
speak of his birth. Luke did say that
he was of miraculous origin, but it is
cone eded thai Luke got his informa-
ticn from Matthew.
The latest investigation shows
that Matthew contradicted himself.
In the New Testament version of the
Gospel, according to Matthew, he
says that Christ was of miraculous
birth. In an older manuscript, which
has been discovered and authenti-
Gated as being the work Of the apos-
tie, Matthew says that Joseph was
the father of Jesus"
This morning DR.. Aked explained
that this new version of the, New
Testament was prepared by Moffat,
and that there in Matthew, where the
geneaIogy of Jesus is given, he says,
And Joseph, the father of Jesus"
so | have sufficient authority for
my statements, says DR. Aked. Il
have the authority of the new Con
gregational Greed as adopted last
October; but even if | have no au-
thOrity. | hope should still have the
courage to state what | believe.

lished the statements that am
preaching today
Cresd's Wording Changed.
In the new Creed of Congregations
Glists that DR.. Aked inyokes as an au-
thority, it does not say in so many
words that Joseph was the father OF
Jesus. but it omits the wOrde con
ceived of the Holy Ghost"
"A creed must be Judged by what
it does not say" explains Dr. Aked.
Asked to state his attitude toward
the stories of miracles, Dr.. Aked
said:
Some of the miracles I unques-
tionably believe. A man of the divine
nature of Jesus could undoubtedly
perform miracles. But some of the
miracles | do not believe: such as. for
instance, the story that Jesus took q
coin from a fish's mouth ! do not
bel eve that Others of the miracles l
do not understand. Most of them.

is. soon to be published. Sermons by
DR. I!earitt and Dr. Meyers will com.

your information I may say that the
application is attached to the certifi-
cate not for the purpose of giving the
certificate greater verify, as that is
not possible, but to assist officers at
points of entry in their examination of
persons presenting themselves for en-
try.
In this case l will sign the appli-
cation itself in order that the holder
thereof may not be put to further IN

has been confused with the new form
of confession OF faith was matter
on which uncertainty was expressed
today. The new form of confession
omits the words "the only begotten
son of God, which are different from
the other omission quoted above.
Consequently, it is not known wheth-
er the same issue of the immaculate
conception will rise here. e ~. q
The present confession OF faith of
Central Union says:
Eve believe in one God, infinite and
perfect, revealed in His Word as the
Father, the Son aud the Holy Spirit.
I'VE believe in the Atonement by
Christ, who, being the only begotten
Son of God, became man, and suffered
to take away the sin of the world.
I'VE believe in the Renewal by the
Holy Spirit; and in the forgiveness of
sins, on condition Of repentance to-
ward God and faith toward our Lord
Jesus Christ.
I'VE believe in the Holy Scriptures,
given by inspiration of God. and able
to make us wise unto salvation.
I'VE believe in the Holy Christian
Church; the baptism of water; the
Supper OF the Lord; the sacredness of
the Lords Day; the immortality of
the Soul; the Resurrection from the
Dead; and the just recompenses of
the world to come"
The proposed form says:
I'VE believe in God the Father, in.
finite in wisdom, goodness and love:
and in Jesus Christ, His Son, cur Lore
and Savior. who for US and our saliva

sion, it should be done.
"The Modern Form"
Mr.. Bowen, speaking of the pro-
posed action this morning, summarize
ed the situation by saying that the
new form of confession may be re-
garded as the modern form for our
children, while the other is that of
our fathers"
The new form omits nothing of
the spirit of the old, for it is broad
and inclusive" he said. Our church,
a union church, has only this con-
fession and is not affected by what
ever action might have been taken
with regard to the apostles creed"
Mr.. Patty, another member of the
standing committee, said that the sec
ond section of the new form is meant
to include the specific professions set
forth in the old form or rather to
interpret their spirit.
Says Difference Slight.
G, H. Dickey, who has followed the
matter with close interest, suggested
that the difference between the two
forms is so slight as to be Of no i'm
portance and not considerable enough
to be basis for controversy.
Two years ago. church members re.
call, suggestions were made for
changes that aroused much comment.
AT that time some of the members
rather held to the view that the doc
trine of the divinity of Christ was
endangered. 1t was said this morning
that this question is not involved in
the present discussion 4.
One member of the standing COM
mittee said today that he sees no rea-
son for a change, but that if it is in
the interest of harmony, he is will
ing to vote for it. Another promi-
nent -churchman said that he believes
the new confession indicates a lib
eral spirit that will be attractive to
the young men of the community.
