New York. June 1. The interest
felt in the series of discourses on creeds
being delivered by Rev. U. Heber New
ton, was attested yesterday by the
presence of a congregation which filled
All-Soul's church to the limit of its ca
pacity. Mr. Newton's sermon was en
titled: '-How to read the Creed,"
and based on the text" L'nderstandest
thou what thou rcadest?" Acts viii: 80.
He said:
Let m. try to help vnihto s recognition of
he simple principles by which we are to In
erpret our form of faith and read arixht
our creed. A creed is to be read as understanding-
its true authority. No creed rests
pon the authority of Christ nimseii.
reeds do rest apparently on the sutuorisy

not all that inlcht be desired. A uni

ndeed commanded the assembled Disn-
ops to receive the decrees ot in.
council of Nice as "dictates of the
Holy Spirit; but toon Conatantine Is
pen to the suspicion of not being an expert
a "things of the spirit" The story of many
of the councils is a tale ot violent and acri
monious disputes: of metaphysical hair
splitting and theologiral Jugglery; of polit
ical intrigue and eeclesiasl ical mummery ; ot
bitter passions breaking forth Into words of
execration, with anathemas Instead of ben
edictions; a scene of clenched fists and
rawn swords; of soldiers keeping Dtan-
ops from each other's throtts; oi
bloody massacres and stealthy assassina
tions. Tne decrees of sucn councils are
plainly not matters of plenary Inspiration
bv anv snlrit whose dominating character
istic la holiness One thing Is thus made
providentially clear, that the truth of the
creed rests not on the authority of the body
setting It forth; but on Its own intrinsic
truthfulness its interpretation of the Chris-
ian consciousness. Its authority will last
so long and only so long as it continues to
emress the Christian consciousness, ana to
Interpret satisfactorily the problems of
nature and man In the light of the spirit ot
Jesus Christ.
All creed Is read aright as It is continually
carried back to Its sources. The Nieene
creed was an attempt to atato logically and
philosophically the teachings of the New
Testament. It can only continue to stand
as It Is seen to rest unmistakably on thta
foundation. This forces on the ehnrcu the
continual duty ot showing that every affir
mation of the creed can be proven from
scripture, and not of stretching her author-
tv aentlv whenever mere is any ouesnon
on this point The scriptures are not the
bed-rock of the foundation oi tne laitn.
Reason and conscience tested them and
stamped them as divine. A creed must be
ever brought back to this mint of man for
assaying. It must be shown not to have de
preciated, Kn creed can long stand which
does not square with fact; which does not
rest on the granite rock of reason; wuicu
does not stand plumb with the line of eter
nal rlehteousne.s.
A creed to be read aright most be read
in the light ot the larger life of faith out of
which its springs, and of which It is a part.
As von see the truth in your neighbor's
creed you will better see the truth In your
own creed. To know tne creeds oi otner re
ligions is to gain many a clew to the mean
Ing of our Christian creeds. What Is tne
prospect for an intellectual understanding
of Its great creeds. If a church practically
reissues that edict of the fourtn council oi
Carthage: "'o bishop shall read a Gentile
book?"
A creed is to be read as dealing wltn
themes transcending all human thought,
and therefore its affirmations are not to be
read as exset statements The themes with
which a creed deals are tho profonndest
problems which can tax a man's mind: the
moat raosa-ve mysteries which fascinate hie
intellect, the riddles over which successive
fenerations have nuzzled themselves wear-
ilv. What then must be the nature or ail
his thoughts upon such high things?
Words thrown out at transcendent mys
terles Attempts to express the inexpres
sible, to deilne the Indefinable, to know the
unknowable. The true meaning of a creed
Is to be found not In what It states, bnt in
what it suggests. A dictionary will not ade
quately Interpret a creed.
A creed Is to be read aa Including a phi
losophy, which can be rightly Interpreted
only bv the philosopbically-mlndeiL The
language of the Sicenecreea concerning in.
incarnation Is pure plillosopny. we snow
this from the character of the words em
ployed. They are the technical terms of
metaphysics They can be traced np to the
philosophers of paganism by whom they
were minted. In the works of the Nicene
fathers we see men of acute and sometimes
deep metaphysical powers, wrestling with
the very uroblems which have always furn
ished the materials for pnilosopny.reacning
philosophical conclusions by philosophical
methods and expressing tnem In philosoph
ical terms Technical terms of a science or
of a philosophy turned ont of their native
region and used In the everydsy speech of
men mu-it not be expected to convey mneh
meaning. The popular prejudice against
the doetrfneof the Trinity is mainly dne to
this failure to recognize it as philosophy.
A creed is to be read as a form of sound
words, which may not only be said bnt sung.
A creed dealing with transcendent themes
must not onlv pliiiosophize.lt tnusf poetizi

the mysteries of the faith. God Is declared
to be -the Maker of Heaven and earth Yet
the Almighty Is no celestial carpenter,

Of Christ It Is declared that "H

The Most High hat no right
hand. The throne of Christ Is of
nanaht which can be seen. It
is a noetic statement of the truth
that Christ Is enthroned In power in the

to be read, not literally, bat figuratively.

Every great creed Is a symbol. Its sign

It Is a picture writing, a sacred hieroglyph.
A creed is to be read differently by different
minds. A mathematical formula does not
admit of different renderings A philosoph
ical and noetic statement concerning tran
scendrnt mysteries not only allows ot
different meanings hy different minds
it necessitates such various render

the parallel In our observation of eelestii

NOT UNTIL DECEMBER.
The President Will Not Appoint the Sin
New Circuit Court Judges I ntll Decem
ber Only Met of Highest Legal Ability
to bo Chosea.
Washisotos, June 1. President
Harrison has finally determined not to
appoint the nine new circuit court
judges until next December. He says
no member has yet been sele-teil.
Political belief, it is understood, will
not be the dominant requisite for ap
pointment to these positions It ia the
intention of the president to select men
for these places of the very highest
legal ability, and with the view of ob
taining such talent the legal work of
candidates will be carefully scrutin
ized, and wherever it is possi
able their briefs and printed
arguments before their respective su
preme courts will be secured and sub
jected to examination. The ability and
legal acumen expressed m these docu
ment wilt therefore, have much
weight in assisting the president in
reaching his conclusions This is taken
as an indication that perhaps there
may be a democrat appointed in one of
the southern circuits The appoint
ments of the five land court judgea ia
looked for confidently this week.

One hundred Grand Army men were

a battle ensued. Hun-ell Taylor, the
