Exeter Advocate, 1910-03-03, Page 61 THE FRUITS OF CREEDS fhe Creed to Cherish Is That Which Gives Strength for Worthy Living "I will show thee my faith by my w•orke."--James ii., 18. That which is true of turn is true also of their creeds in et least une respect. --they must be known by their fruits, by the effects which they produce. The final test of a creed is not whether it retrains in precisely the form in which it way held by those who claimed for it a spacial revelation, but whether it is producing worthy results to- day. How much better ie our day for the creeds proclaimed to it 1 What effects are coating from the defense of the faith so far as the problems of human misery and need are con- cerned t The solemn words have been recited and their significances expounded for many a thousand Sundays from many a pulpit. Is life richer. sweeter, kindlier 1 Are men jester 1 Is the hypocrite hat - and the oppressor cast clown as a result The creeds have shed mare blood and cost more helium treasure than any other modern motive or cause. They roust justify- themselves in the hie of to -day. Unless some one shall show tis the vast human im- portance of knowing exactly the in- tracac'es of ancient and subt'e phil- osophies we may learn to ignore them all and GO STRAIGHT AHEAD with the business of trying to snake this a Netter world to live in. It is easy for many in sonorous tones to recite their faith, with nice attention to the least syllable and with a sense of valiant willing- ne-s to defend its last iota and then to go out and grind down the face of the po r, make th( m,elves stroe•g cut of the weakness of others, and turn the heart of a devil to the appeals of common humnnity. 'fhe trouble w ith such confessions of religious is that they have not enough contact with real living. not enough concern about real things to make a man feel their bearing on his life. They are guilty of limitation to speculations and analysis of the Deity instead of in- dicating conduct, inspiring to right relations and noble doing of duty in end amongst humanity. The market and the shop are the places where the real creed is writ- ten ; al! the rest, spoken, sung. or jointed. may be but empty words. .1 man's actual beliefs are wrought nut in the stress of life. He may tike the name of the Most High on his lips with accents of reverence and yet demonstrate by his dark creed that he believes only in the worth and newer of the devil. As we lay out hands on one an- other, as we mark our ways through life, as we leave the impress of our- selves (:n others, we ate writ•ng our real creeds. High heaven laughs fore, is the word of the supreme Spiritual Authority. Whets we obey it we are like the soldiers who looked beyond the word of the centurion to the will of the em- peror. 11. From the cast and the west - Gentiles. Jesus here snakes use of the favorite image of the Messianic age being ushered in by a great feast. The rabbis taught that all Israelites were to recline (sit down) at the table together. Patriarchs, prophets, heroes would all bo in- cluded, and the Centiles shut out. which brings us all up closer to Jesus startlingly reverses the or - the face and glory of that which we call God. ity --lie compares the authority of Jesus to that given to him.

He marveled Partly be..ause this great display of faith was on the part of a Gentile, and even in Israel be had found nothing like it. His sense of unworthiness, his e( utidence in the mere word of Jesus, his belief in Jesus's control ..f unseen powers, all were remark- able. But they had parallels in Israel. The great thing was the centurion's recognition of the cun- ditious under which Jesus labored. He carte "to do the will of hint that, sent" hint. His word, there- at our foolish mouthings of words and watches the way we go and the works we do, for these prove the springs of our lives, these reveal the things we deeply, truly believe. If a mall says, "I believe in God the Father," then he will surely live as one who knows that he is IN A GIIEAT FAMILY, that the universe is a home end not a jungle; that in the end truth and right and goodness meet prevail; tLat the only way of living is that It would be a good thing to turn from looking back over our creeds to snake sure of their foundations ---to take a good, long, clear louk to make sure of their fruitage. Have they any effect on my life t If they have not they are drying up the very heart( within me every tune I utter empty words. Ask, if there is any gond in me, to what creed is it due' To that which I repeat in the name of relig- ion or to that which I ant working one through life's lessons! What are the things I cherish most 7 What is the purpose of all lay striving? Where lie the deep springs of con- duct? To answer such questions is to uncover our dominant beliefs. The ereo dto cherish is that which impels to the realization of our best at any cost, that which hears the fruits of godlike kindness, love, end h( pe for all our fellows; that which best helps us to make true, present, and actual the dreams and pas- sions that lay behind the ancient words of faith and bring to pass the good of all our great family here.

One of his Most ingenious ieven- t'oes, however, is the chrone cope, which measures the speed of a shot rt different parts of the bore of a gun.
