' ' ' " - f - ' . 1 1 ! y (Copyrighted by the San. Jose! Mercury) "Steveuson is everlastingly parted, not a dogma handed down. What misery, hatred and bloodsheddfng had been spared the world if the differeuee liad been recognized!" Thus declared one of the greatest American preachers,. Dr. Rainsford, ff many years pastor of St. George's Episcopal church in New York. It inust follow tlifit as men Ket larger and fuller draughts I of this spirit, instead of becoming more dogmatic and iiarroWr; their conceptions and ideals must become higher, broader and more tolerant. As they come to recognize this spirit as the important thing in religion, they will also see that this spirit may find an intellectual expression in one man that would be totally unsuited and repugnant; to another. (Jod is working m all and truer spiritual life.. Therefore creeds and doctrines are comparatively unimportant. , Dr. rehVion is to live, and men can, must change and doctrines once ish." I The picture of a. God of wrath and the doctrine of eternal damnation in a literal lake of human race may have been divine government that some us, but this doctrine can not b6 risen to the conception of a Himself to men in the Christ Spirit of love and service and thus discloses His purposes as pertaining to them and thir final detiny. The Bible itself is a mirror of the changing concep tions of the (constantly developing spirit of men. The Penta- euch breathes a very different Testament: lAnd its philosophy is as widely! divergent from that of the New Testament as. is its spirit. Yet both in differing ag.es of , the world, widely Sep arated as to time, led men onward and upward. . j . - To further quote Dr. Rainsford: "God's revelation must he something more than a Book. contain it. When Examined of progress. The God of the. days , when Israel struggled toward nationhood ..and dutifully put to wnoiesaie massacre ,t nose wno opppseu mem, was not the God of theV greatest, of the Psalmists, who sang a nobler Jsong, The earth is the Lord s and and they that dwell therein! Isaiah: 'The spirit of: the Lord Lord hath anointed, nie to preach good tidings unto the raeek. He hath sent me to : bind up the broken-hearted,; to proclaim liberty to the captives, the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,. and the day of ,he vengeance of our . God; to comfort a .that mourn.1 K '' 'i-''1 "Then comes the Master himself and quoting jthis passage from Isaiah, deliberately leaves out the sentence, The day of the vengeance of our" Pod' Here in the Bible itself, then,! the idea of pod changes and rises and the change was continuous. More important still, Jesus is recorded as saying that the con tinuous changing quality in it would1 not cease with Him: fI iiave many things to say to you, but ye can not bear them now. But when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come lie will guide you into all truth; He will show you the things tolcomei'i Here was a growth and change indeed. Here was evotion in religion." Let us not forget that God'3 true revelation to men in all ages is not in the literal, printed word.- His revelation comfs with inspiration and power to change and regenerate them. When we read our Bible, whether the Pentateuch or the Go$ pels, unless we get, this divine touch. which illuminesand.gjy.es us spiritual understanding, our reading has brought n6 0ivite revelation to us. We have only read and understood theiletbar of the Scriptures :'the letter which ki'Ieth"- instead: of re ceiving the Spirit behind it 'the Spirit which -giveth life," ; , . . . , , Th ere is nothing more certain in the future than that lour developing spirits will come io a different understanding of the revelations of 4he Old Testament from that entertained by our forefathers. There is nothing surer than that in th:e ;riear fn' ture we shall be obliged rto find restatements of their dogmis founded upon ajiteral reading of this Old Testament or to re pudiate them altogether. If we are, to continue to strive for the expression in our lives of the spirit, principles and ideals of the Christ, the measure of iur success in this effort will be indicated by the completeness! ci ut-tiit-.-t aim retaliatory vengeance wun wnicn tne uia Testa Paper in the World Sjipped the vtcr awl Ittiud, ItelowfOfffn they; hitrd ' a dull ; A crashlngnd bU7nfinr Vhlch ct? their-' hearts thnmp- Trappefl In the jaws of the flood! A cloudburst in the mountain is1. following an unusually rainy spring, brought a swirl of churn ing water down the river. Boyd Hamilton, having Just delivered his papers, stopped anxiously at the edge of the water before go ing in the house. Already it was creeping up above the bank, j, - "Looks like we're due for ; a spell of high water," he said, as he came into the living room. HI$ mother raised her head. Mr. Ham-1 ilton was out of town, so she wap doubly anxious. r ' ; .). Boyd's little sister grabbed his arm, .her lips trembling. ''The wind is blowing a lot, too. ; I'm scared.:; ; . ' . 5 . :' Boyd tried to comfort her. He ate his supper, and then went out again to look at the water. - It was rising steadily, being only a little way from their house. : AC that rate It would be up to the steps by nightfall. , ? 4 1 "Look here, mother," Boyd said, when he returned, "there's no use getting panicky, . but ,1 think we'd better mqve up on the second floor. tYou kioow once be fore the tlrst story was flooded, .. . . and ',1 right.

' - - A few hours passed ' Then they began to hear a bumping noise .on the ceiling. "Floating . stuff," shivered Mrs. Hamilton. . f "Maybe somebody:, will cdmeUn a boat and f v get . us," , ventured Boyd, : ; , If it would only gfow light! They were prepared at,; any m$n ute to go to the roof, as the bumping noise continued and they knew it would be only a matterpf time until the water would come creeping upon them. T -At lasf a fewstreaks of dawn came in through the window, Boyd peered out. ? "Why-wny-look!" he sputtered. The river was flowing quietly In it's banks. They$' went down stairs. The windows and doors had been left open to prevent their being burst in, and the high wind had befen blowing the dining room chande lier agajnst the wall.

' !;,-. '' .,.;.. .1 ; - THE OXE THING Writes the "Foothill Phllosot: pher," John Stephen McGroat'r, in. the IjOs Angeles Times: , Men seem to be interested in many things. In reality they are interested in only one "thing the mystery of being. Whether One be conscious of the fact or not, all his business with social, indus trial, educational and religious af fairs and institutions is subsidiary to his fundamental purpose of dis covering the truth about life, whkh he believes will prove the truth about (himself, "j The strongest, most unremit- tent desire of man is- to find out who and what he is, and why, he exists. The quest for the ' ideal never stops, the: search for per fection never ceases. The search for gold is but a symbol of man's search for truth. The interest one takes hi business, in social af fairs, in work,' in his1-famny, in. religion is to the end that he'may discover that In nlmsenr or out side of himself, 'which Shall prove of permanent satisfaction.'1;' : " Great thinkers of the past and present have been impressed with and have recorded the fact that in airthe phenomenal universe there appears to be no sign of hope for solving fhe riddle of . life!

All men play with' passing things and events, but the thinker never takes anything seriously in the sense that he, depends upon anything for lasting satisfaction. Somehow there is a feeling among' men that the changing world is hardly " worth fevering and fret ting about, that ithat which can be destroyed Is i hardly; worth fighting for.
