Proposed ReOision OF The Creed

vision Of the Apostles Creed Tho
revised version OF the creed was
made b ihe Rev. Woodman Brad.
bury Of Cambridge. who criticised tho
old and universally accepted version
as containing phrases which tie
modern mind cannot accept at thor
face value.
That criticism is doubtless wcll-
founded There are phrases in The
Apostles Creed not accepted at their
face value by most OF those who re-
cite them in worship. and many of
whom de not at all understand their
significance The revised creed Is
much simpler. much more in accord
with modern thought and couehed in
perfect presont-day English. These
are advantages, but 1t is seriously TO
be suspected that they Offset other
aud greater advantages Of the older
version Here is the creed as pro.
posed by the Rev. Mr.. Bradbury:
believe in God. the Father Of
all races in Jesus Christ. our
Lord, and in the Holy Spirit. the
purifier 0f The hearts OF men.
