Again, a New Creed

Since 1562 the 39 Articles of the English Book of Common Prayer have stood, not unassailed, yet unchanged; and before their establishment the Nicene Creed; and before that the Creed of the Apostles. They have the .patina of old authority. Have they the beauty of present utility? More often and more widely the question in present times is being asked and variously answered by Protestant Episcopalians.

Last week Dr. Karl Reiland, 55, learned, attempted an answer by reading, during a vesper service at his St. George's Protestant Episcopal Church in Manhattan, a new creed which he would like to see accepted :

"We believe that God is spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

"We believe that God hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on the face of the whole earth.

"We believe that God is love and everyone that loveth is born of God and knoweth God.

"We believe that Jesus is the son of God and as many as are led by the spirit of God they are the sons of God.

"We believe that the Lord Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

"We believe that if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another.

"We believe in the grace of our Lord, in the love of God, and in the fellowship of the spirit, Amen."
