A CREED FOR TO-DAY.

what man belleVeS determines very
largely what he is. Hence, the inn
portance of creed that is expressive
of the life of today. A navigation chart
which was adequate for successful sail
ing during the first or second centuries
of the Christian era would not be very
serviceable today, except as it showed
the lines of travel and the dangerous
places and the safe harbors of the seas
then known and travelled. But with the
discoveries of new seas subject to navi-
cation, and new lands offering oppor-
tunities for the commerce of civilized
countries, new charts have been
demanded by the navigators of today.
So with the creeds which have been ex-
pressive of the development of the
religious life of the age. Practically all
the creeds, Apostles, Nicene, Athana-
sian; and the confessions, Augsburg,
Westminster, bort, are human attempts
to set forth the beliefs men have held
regarding God and the requirements for
salvation. Some of the creeds and
confessions have been wrought out in
the heat of controversy. All of them
are very valuable; so valuable that
many men find in them today sufficient
expression of their faith.
At the National Council of Congre-
gational churches held in Kansas City,
Mo-, last October, creed was adopted
which seeks to set forth in modern
terms the spirit and faith of the present
day Christianity. 1t was not adopted
in the heat of controversy. 1t was not
compromise creed seeking to make
terms with strong minority. 1t was
adopted by more than five hundred &C
credited delegates, representing the
different churches, almost unanimously
only one negative vote. The creed,
polity and fellowship adopted by
the National Council was also adopted
Thursday, May q, by the Congrega
tional church of Middlebury, Vt. Il
follows:
CREED.
We believe in God the Father, in.
finite in wisdom, goodness, and love
and in Jesus Christ, His Son, our Lore
and Savior, who for US and our salvation
lived and died and rose again and livetl
evermore; and in the Holy Spirit, WHIT
talketh of the things of Christ and re
vealeth them to us, renewing, comfort
ing, and inspiring the souls of men. w
are united in striving to know the vii
of God as taught in the Holy Scriptures
and in our purpose to walk in the way
of the Lord, made known or to be mad
known to US. We hold it to be tn
mission Of the Church of Christ t
proclaim the gospel to all mankind
eXalting the worship of the one tru
God, and laboring for the pursuit o
knowledge, the promotion of justice
the reign of peace, the realizatio
of human brotherhood Depending, a
did our fathers upon the continue
guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead u
into all truth, we work and pray for tn
trans formation of the world into tn
kingdom of God; and we look with fait
for the triumph of righteousness an
the life everlasting.

But Devoe is all p int and more too;
you add oil to it, a gallon is or

FELLOWSHIP.

While affirming the liberty of our
churches, and the validity of our minis
try, we hold to the unity and cathohcity
of the Church of Christ, and will unite
with all its branches in hearty CO.
operation; and will earnestly seek, so
far as in US lies, that the prayer of our
Lord for his disciples may be answered,
that they all may be one"
Since the adoption of this creed, many
very favorable comments have been
made upon it by the religious press of
other bodies of Christians. Some
churches, where their policy admits,
have already adopted it as their own.
There are some points worth noting
about it.
1t is characterized by simplicity. The
language is plain. The man too busy tc
study out the Greek and Latin words
so often used to express religious doc
trine finds here a creed simple, strong
and comprehensive.
1t has the note of reality. No ques
tons which have divided men religiously
are here raised. All the essential arti
cles of faith embodied in the other anC
earlier creeds find expression. 1t sets
forth in positive terms what Christians
of every name hold in common.
1t is progressive. 1t possesses
features not contained in any othel
creed: The mission of the church il
exalted, the work of the kingdom
magnified.
