old phrases. Never was this more true or evident than today. Ideas taught in the schools of 50 years ago, if taught today, would be regarded as ignorance in almost any branch outside of read ing, writing and arithmetic Science Is revolutionized social life has been revolutionized, and is passing through still further changes; therefore, poll tics is socialized; history completely rewritten from beginning to end mean that what used to be considered
 the essential things in history, such
 as wars. etc, are subordinate today to
 the study of the causes that hinder or
 promote the welfare of the people at large. Kings and statesmen are only
 incidentally important.
 Let me repeat here that am not ex-
 plaining something on behalf of an-
 other man. but am endeavoring to give
 clue to the intelligent minds which
 have been disturbed or arrested by the Edmonds controversy which they may
 follow with some hope of coming to a
 modern understanding of religion. Ul- timately, 1t is the difference between simplicity, open mindedness and rever- ent courage on the one hand, and a stolid but reverent conservatism on the other hand. Remember what Ten nyson said:
 God fulfills himself in many ways Lest one good custom should corrupt the world.
 There is bound to be conflict be- tween the conservative and the pro- gressive forces in nature and in re- | ligion, no less than in business, in morals no less than in science. And if 1 the modern age Is different from that l which preceded 1t. and is leading on to yet newer age different from it. self, then we must all have the cour- age to turn our faces to the front and
 believe the new things that God is showing us. and learn to link them with the things which He said to our | forefathers. This Is the keynote, as understand it, of Dr. Edmonds theol- ogy. He believes in a God whose spoken word today is of more value to us than His spoken word of three cen 1 turtles ago; only he Is sure that the i! test of all alleged words from God ie | that they must conform to the mind
 and spirit of Jesus of Nazareth. He alone is Lord and Master. l Now 1t Is this living fact of God'z continuous self-revealing which makes l the writing of creeds and the forma- l ton of churches on the basis of elabo- rate confessions of faith. very diffi- cult business. Dr. Edmonds has not 1 given us yet a full statement as tc the creed basis of the new church. think 1t must appear. however. that the real divergence between him ant his recent judges is where he claims the right to stay in the Presbyterian church while he revises the creed O that church to accord with the concep ton of the gradualness of the revela ton of the character of God to men.
 I Above all things. we must not be s'
 interested in theological debate as t.
 forget the one essential: Our own soul
 yielding themselves is obedient homag to the only Lord. GEORGE EAVES. Birmingham. October 29. 1915.
