[Rev. W.Y. Fullerton in The Christian]

It is all important to have a Scriptural creed; but the working creed of most lives consists in but a few articles, and in these days of searching we are finding that our faith becomes stronger as it becomes simpler. "It would trouble me far more," wrote Bishop Paget of Oxford, "if under any great trial my mother's faith were to break down or prove useless, than if ten of the cleverest men I know were to tell me that they had examined the evidence and come to the conclusion that there is nothing in Christianity." Now that faith which was Bishop Paget's great standby is precisely the thing that is common to all the churches,—the simple working faith in Christ as an everyday Saviour.

It cannot be to greatly emphasized that it is not organization or doctrine that makes us one, but the possession of the Spirit. Who has not the Spirit of Christ is none of his; who has, is his. A frank recognition that by one Spirit we are baptized into one body, will bring Christian unity in sight, unity that will never come any other
