A SIMPLE CREED.
To the Rev. Walpole Warren, on one occasion, when in America, was put this question ‘ How shall people be brought into the Church ?' •Bv preaching the Gospel to them.’ he answered. • That is all Ido to fill a church. To preach the go-pel from experience, without fine language, without dabbling in modern science unless prepared to go deep enough ; without theorizing, personally, plainly. This will fill any church. After fifteen years of mission work, with crowded churches wherever I have held a mission, this has never failed. Too little is made in this age of simple life depicting creed. ’ * Do you believe in long sermons ?’ • I believe in giving half an hour's direct, personal teaching, stating plain truths in plain language personally believed in by the hearer. I don’t believe in fine music" but good music and congregational singing. ’
