Last evening at the rooms of the St. Paul's Episcopal Society in Grays Hall, Rev. Roland Cotton Smith, Assistant Minister of Trinity Church, Boston, delivered an interesting address on the "Creed." At the conclusion of Rev. Mr. Smith's remarks the President asked for the names of all those who, on alternate Sundays, could attend the revival meetings to be held this winter at the Globe Theatre.

The speaker then showed that there is imminent in the universe an infinite, immaterial Spirit. This Spirit, acting through...
...corner stones of this studio foundation consists in the doctrines of the relation of God to man, and in the doctrine of true christian conduct, or as Paul puts it, "the Lord knoweth them that are His," and "Let everything that nameth Christ depart from iniquity." Character without creed, ethics without religion, one side of the cornerstone without the other, the other, the apostle says, is impossible: they are both the same thing, looked at from a different point of view...
