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.

Father and Son 6 anquet
a
Th«te “ father and eon” banquets are coming
to be quite the rage throughout the country. 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

How he did «tog! Above tbe

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
