Probably no country in the world

From tho time when the discovery

in time to such n degree that. In

fads have ceased to be the churches
that are grounded in the old familiar
faiths-the institutions that have con-
ceived, developed and put over every
movement and reform for the benefit
of mankind-will continue to function
to the glory of God. Their benef-
cence will continue because of what
they believe. A formal statement of
what we as Christians believe is our
creed. A Christian, therefore, is a
person with a creed.
IL. A Christian is a person with an
experience. The things learned, the
prayers answered, the doubts re-
moved, the opportunities improved
these things constitute ones ex-
perience. In other words, creed is
the ladder by which we climb to God.
Experience is what we learn by climb
ing. Those who contend that a Chris
tian's whole equipment is creed, leave
off that which makes the creed neces-
sary. The best possible creed cannot
contribute to spiritual welfare unless
reduced to experience. Faith en-
ergized gives experience, without
which one can never know the value
of faith.

"A FATAL ACCIDENT

The public was grievously shocked
when the news was impaired to them
OF the automobile accident that caused
the death of Charles E. Scott, who
closed out his useful life at the Pas
savant Hospital last Friday morning.
Mr.. Scott was born on Jan. 7,
1867 at Jordan, Canada. He attended
school III Detroit, Mich, Cleveland,
Ohio and Oberlin College, Oberlin,
Ohio. Later he moved to Chicago
and on April 2o, 1901, was united in
marriage to Mrs. Sarah A. Moore Of
Chicago. In every walk of life he
bore the best reputation. AS an en-
ploye Of the Post Office department,
as carrier, he bore an untarnished
record from whatever route he trav-
eled. While in the discharge of duty
he was struck down by an auto at the
corner of Dearborn and South Water
Streets. While in the service as a car
rier he became ambitious to be men,
Der of the bar and with that aim in
view used all his spare time in study
and graduated from the Webster Col
lege of Law with the degree of B. L.
He joined the Masonic fraternity at
the age of twenty-one and bacame
member of all its branches being con-
nected with Mt. Hebron Lodge No.

every possible way those who stand
in need. Religious hands do whatever
they find to do wherever occasion
gives the opportunity.
90 1t will control the feet. Quick
to answer duty's call are the feet of
a Christian. How could they do else,
when Jesus feet took Him wherever
there were human suffering and need?
If we let our religion radiate thru our
feet, we shall be found only where
opportunity is afforded to help a
brother, regardless of his nationality
or race.
Note please, the Christian is like
unto a fruit tree. Greed is the root,
experience the flower, and life the
fruit. He who has creed and expert
ence is as the tree in bloom. He who
has creed, experience and life, is as
the tree bearing luscious fruit.
Because so many of us have creed
and experience only, our lives are not
fruitful. AS result, the church is
losing sway and Christianity has been
brought into disrepute. May we,
ministers and members Of the Chris
tan church, regardless of name, get
in such relations to our Master that
our creed, experience and life may
give US right to the most exalted title
and station possible to human exist
ence-that Of a Christian.

WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE A
CHRISTIAN

"And it was in Antioch that the dis
ciples first received the name Of
Christians" Acts. 1l:26.
The disciples of Christ did not
name themselves. Like the Method
lists, they were named by others. The
people who first called them Chris
tians we're heather. Whether or not
the name was given in derision, we
are not informed, but we do know
they would not have been called Chris
tians had they not talked much Of
Christ, believed firmly in His teach
ings and lived according to what they
believed. Therefore, it is safe to say
that to make a Christian, one must
have creed, an experience and life
/. "A Christian is a person with a
creed. "A person who has accepted
the teaching that Jesus of Nazareth
was also the Christ Of God. That in
His life He showed men how to live
above the world; in His death was re-
vealed the love Of God as it cannot be
found anywhere else; in His resur-
rection we have proof unfailing Of
His divinity and the assurance that
AS thru Adam all die, 50 also,
through Christ all viii be made alive
again"
There are those who say it matters
nothing what you believe 50 long as
you live right. But, how can this be?
Who ever drank pure water from an
impure spring, gathered grapes from
thorns, or figs from thistles? The fact
is, the church must have doctrinal
fence around it and not Be left on the
open prairie with nothing to ward of
the winds of religious fanaticism and
myriad fads Of doctrine.
In 1883, when the stars fell" a
man was aroused from his bed by the
alarm. He rushed out and saw many
stars falling, sure enough. But gaz-
