ANO A New Venture Dr. Jamea L. Gordon widely known San Frau- ciaeo pastor, plans to start on a n^w venture 8ep- tember 1, 1927. He will quit his pnlpit, he says, “ to jlrtaeh.” In announcing his decision, Dr. Gor don says: ' • . “ I would rather preach to three thousand on a small salary than devote my time to three hundred soul-seasoned saints, even though they could sup port me in luxury and comfort and guarantee an old age pension as a fitting climax to a useful life.’’ He will organize a “ metropolitan ehuroh*’ in some American city and preach to Protestant, Catho lic, Jew and Oriental alike. “ Nobody will be asked to ‘believe’ anything or to ‘subscribe’ to any creed or to ‘join’ any organisation.” Because most people seem to take to creeds like a duck does to water, it will not be denied that dogma has played a tremendous role in the history of religion, especially the Christian religion. For one thing, creeds are of a tangible nature whieh may serve as a kind of spiritual yardstick. As his ardor wanes or waxes the adherent feels that he is making headway in the faith of his fathers or slip ping into reprehensible doubt. Thus he strives to maintain an approximate tab on his soul’s progress. Yet with all this talk of immersion and sprink' ling, of predestination and total depravity, of trane- substantiation and symbolism, of original sin and infinite atonement, it is consoling to turn back to the qmet dawii J Cbristianity’s morning and read “ Love the Lord thy GwJ with aU thy heart, and with all thy soqj and with all thy mind. This is the first great commandment. And the second is like unto i t Thou shall love tfiy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” That calm message clears the way for many an honest soul whp might otherwise find the creed- littered path to Paradise a difficult one to negotiate. •o nany bendine and packages and they were all being take» by nene- bee» of dMeveat families to the members of families at home.

They have one outstanding result. They serve to re mind us of how times change. And ao far as the son ig concerned the change seems to be for tbe better. During, the retrospective period to which our mind sometimes wanders there were frequent fat he/' and son affairs, but no fixed season for thorn. They were generally held in the woodshed and were per sonal and private. Father in those days did all the talking, often with a pifece of harness leather. But nowadays father, playing golf aU summer and bridge all winter, has set apart a special season to rally round with the boy. He cleans *up a year’s duty during the few days of “ Father and Son Week” in the fall. The harness strap has become obsolete and privacy, has given away to tbe idea of mass production in tbe manufacture of father and son spirit. It is much nicer for the boy now, but when he grows up and liecomes a father himself wkat is he going to have as a subject for comfortable reminiscence f •Oh, Brother, Mew Wonderful ! • quite a number o f minutes, the lit tle canary began to sing. How he did «tog! Above tbe sole» of the qnlckly moving train, above the sounds of the people’s voice». above the clatter of the wheels his voice rang out end trilled and thrilled. How he loved the sound and the gayety and the noise. How be loved the excitement of which he was a part without be ing made to feel nervous.- How he loved hearing his own voice. More and mere terns and trills he tried, more and mere did hla little throat tremble with the beauty of his singing Then he stopped. j "Last stop," the conductor called out The canary was wrapped np once more.
