A friend said to me this morning, "Our church, (Dr. Scudder's) are talking seriously of abolishing creeds."
Went last Sunday to hear Rev. Mr. Hallard, pastor of First Presbyterian church, of which I am a member. He said that Jesus Christ came in an age when creeds were the only thing sought for; but he set them at naught. Thus the leaven works.
I want to tell you of a conversion as wonderful as Saul's; just from reading the book ''Science and Health." The man was drunken, profane, infidel, and a tobacco eater. His wife read the books to him. Afterward, as he was riding, a dark cloud came between him and his horse. The cloud parted after a moment, and a light bright as noonday sun shone around him. Then he heard a voice, saying, "Choose, to-day. Life, or death." "I chose Life," he said to his wife on his return home. The taste and desire for drink have entirely gone. That, in apostolic times, would have been declared a miracle; but we understand it now as a divinely natural result of acceptance of the teachings of Mrs. Eddy.
