"REVISION OF CREEDS."!
THE SUBJECT OF DR TALLAGE 6
DISCOURSE.
Thoughts Impreeaed Upon the Divine by ?.
TlsiC to the 8?ot Where Laztrns Lived
and Died.
At the Tabernacle Sunday morning
the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, D. D.,
o?;^ thrtBoht the new Brookifn taber
oaiu ? ? m
nacle wouli be dedicated in September.
The subject of hi3 discourse was "Revision
of Creed3,'; and he took for his
text John xi., 44: "Loose him, and let
bin go." Dr. Talmage said:
My Bible is, at the place of this text,
written all orer with the lead pencil mark
made last December at Bethaoy on the
ruins of the house of Mary aad Martha
aad Lazarus. Ws dismounted from our
horses on the way up from Jordan to the
Dead Sea. BathanT was the summer
evening retreat of Jesus. After spending
the day in the hot city of Jsrusalem
he would come out there almost every
evening to the homse of his three friends
I think the occupants of the ho*se were
orphans, for the father and mother were
sot mentioned. But the son and two
daughters must have inherited property
for it must have beei), judging from
what I saw of the foundations and the
size of the rooms, an opulent home. Lazarus,
the brother, was now the head of
the household, and his sisters depended
on him and were proud of'him, for he
was very popular and everybody liked
him, snd thesa girls were splendid girls.
Martha, afirs:-rate housekeeper, and
Mary, a spirituelle, somewhat dream?
but affectionate, and as good a girl as
couid be feund ia ail Palestine. But
one day Lazarus got sick. The sisters
. were in consternation. Father gone and
mother gone, they feel very nervous lest
th?ji lose their brother also. Disease did
?/\?v ?nr<\nr th? orirl? hlino

over his pillow! Not much sleep about
thas bouse, no sleep at all. From the
characteristics otherwise developed, I
judge that Martha prepared the medi
cines and made tempting dishes of food
for the poor appetite of the sufferer, but
Mary prayed and sobbed. Worse ana
worse gets Lazarus, until the doctor
announces that he can do no more. The
shriek that went up from that household
' -? wkoo th? lash breath had bsen drawn
and'tee two sisters were being led by
sympathizers into tbe adjoining room,
all those of ua can imagine who have
had our own hearts broken. But why
was not Jesas there as he >o often had
been? Far away in the country districts
preaching,'healing other sick. How unfortunate
that this omnipoteut doctor
had not been at that domestic crisis in
Bethany. When at last Jesus arrived ia
Bethany Lazarus had been buried four
days and dissolution had taken place.
? In that climate the breathless body disintegrates
more rapid'y than in ours If,
imuaediately after decease, that oody
had been awakened into life, unl>el'.<-7ers
might have said that he was only in
a comatose state, or in a ?ors of tf*nc?.
and by s?me rigorous manipulation ov
powerful stimulant vitalitT baa been
renewed. No! Four days dead. At
the door of the sepulchre is a crowd of
people, but the three mu3t memorable
t are Jesus, who was the family friend,
'and the two bereft sisters. We went
into the traditional tomb in December,
and it is deep down and dark, and with
torches we explored it. We found it
ali quiet that afternoon of our visit, but
the day talked of in the Bible there was
present an excited multitude. I wonder
what Jesus will do. He orders the door
of the grave removed, and then he begins
to descend the steps, Mary and
Martha close after them. Deeper down
into the shadows and deeper! The hot
tears of J<isus roll over his eheeks and
sptash upon the backs of his hands. Were
ever so many sorrows compressed into
? ? so small a place as in that group pressing
on down after Christ, all ~the time bemoaning
that he had not come before?
Now all ihe whispering and all the crying
and all the sounds of shuffling feet
are stopped. It is the silence of expectancy.
Death had conquered, but
now the vanquisher of death confronted
the scene. Amid the awful hush of the
tomb the familiar name which Christ
had oftea hud upon his lips in the hospitalities
of the village home came back
to hi3 tongue and with a pathos and aa
olmightiness of which the resurrection
of the last day shall be only an echo, he

eyes of the slumberer open and with
grratjdifficulty he begins to ascend for the
cerements of the tomb are yet on him
aa?l his fe?t are fast and his hands are
fast and the impediments to all his movements
are so great that Jesus commands:
"Take off these ceremeats; remove thise
hindrances; uafasten these grave clothes:
loose him and let him gol" Oh, I am
so glad thac after the Lord raietd Laza
ras? he went on and commanded the
loosening of the cords thac bound his
art that hft nrmld walk. and the
breaking off the cerement that bound
his hands so that he could stretch out
hit arms in salutation, and the tearing
off the bandage from around his jaws so
that he could speak. What would resurrected
life have been to Lazarus if b?
had not been freed from all those crip_
piements of his body? I am glad that
^ Christ commanded his complete emancipation,
saying: "Loose him, and iet
him go."
Tne unfortunate thing now is that so
many Christians are only half liberated.
They have been raised from the death
and burial of tin into spiritual life, but
they yet have the grave clothes on them.
They are like Lazarus, hobbling up the
stairs of the tomb, bound hand and foot,
and the object of this sermon is to help
free their body and free their soul, and
I shall try to obey the Master's command
that comes to me and comes to every
minister of religion. "Loose him, aud let
him 20." First, maay are bound band
and foot by religious creeds. no
man misinterpret uie as antagjn.z <)g
reeds. I hare eight or ten of thea: a
creed abous religion, a creed abou^ art,
a creed about social life, a creed about
government, and so on. A creed is something
that a man believes, whether it be
written or unwritten. The Presbyter'an
church is now agitated about its creed.

want revision. I am with neither party.
Instead of revision I want substitution.
I was sorry to have the question disturbed
at all. The creed did not hinder us
from offering the pjirdon and the comfort
of the Gospel to all men, and the
"Westminster Confessiou has not interfered
with me one minute. But now
that the electric lights have been turned
on the imperfections of that creed?and
everything that man far-hions ii imperfect?let
us put the old creed respectfully
aside and get a brand new oue.
It is impossible that people who liTed
hundreds of years ago should fashion an
appropriate creed for our times. John
O.ivin was a great and good man, but he
died three huadred and twenty-six years
acta. The best centuries of Bible study
bare come since then, and explorers have
done their work, and you might as well
have the world go back and stick to
wnat Robert Fulton knew about steamboats
and reject the subsequent improvements
in navigation; and go back to
J'jhn Gutteoberg, the inventor of the
art of printing, and reject all modern
newspaper prewes, and go back to the
time when telegraph was the elevating
of signals or the burning of boiifirc? on
the hilltops and reject the magnetic
wire which is the tongue of nations, as

"But," you say, '-it is the stole old
Bible, acd John Calyici had that as well
as the present student of the scriptures."
Yea, so it is the eacae old sua in the

mating daguerreotypes and paocographs.
It is the same old water, but ia ou: century
it baa gone to runaiag steau engines.
It is the same old electricity, but
in our time it has bscosae a lig'tciag
footed errand boy. So it is the old Bibl?,
but new application*, new uses,
ne^ interpretations. You must remember
that during the iast th ee hundred
years words hare changed their meaning
and some of them now meat more
and some lesa. I do not think that John
Calvia believed, as some say he did, in
the damnatioo of infants, although some
of the resent hot disputes would soem to
imply that there is such a thinj as the
damnation of infants.
A man who believes in the damnation
of infact? hioueif deserves to lose
neaven. I do not think any good man
could admit ?och a possibility. What
Christ will do with all the babies in the
next world I coaclude from what be did
with the babies in Pales'ine when he
huggei them and kissed them. When i
some of you grown pe.'pl# go out of thi*

that I prefer the roie in full bloom to tbe

bad vrith the dogmatics, the apologetics
and the hermeceutics. The defect in
some of the creeds is that they try to tell
us all about the decrees of God. Kow,
the only human being that-was ever competent
to handle that subj?ct was Pau',
and he would aot hate been competent
had he not been inspired. I believe in
the sovereignty of God and I believe in
man's free agency, but no oae can harmonize
the two. It is not necessary
that ne harmonize them. Ev^ry sermon

such harmonization was to m: t.s clear

Better one chapter of Paul on that subject

cot try to measure either the throne of
God or the thunderbolts of God with
your little steel pen. "What do ?ou know

cannot explain the mysteries of God's
government now, much less chc mysteries
of his government five hucdred quintillion
of years ago. I mnve for a creed for
all our denominations made out of Scripture

beyond human criticism. The denomi
nation, whatever its name be, that can
rise up to that will be the church of the
millennium, will swallow up all other
denominations and be the one that, will
be the bride when the Bridegroom

Christ is a Christian and the man who j
does cot accept Him is not a Christian, j
and that is all there is of it. He need
not believe in election or reprobation.
He ne-d not believe in the eternal generate
n of tbe Son. He need not believe
I in rerlasting punishment. He need
not believe in plenary inspiration. Faith
in Christ is the criterion, i? the test, is
the pivot, is the indispensable. But there
are those who would add unto the tests
rather than subtract from them. There
ar? thousands who would not accept
persons imo church membership if tiiej
ciriak wine, or if thej smoke cigars, or it
they attend the theatre, or if they pity
cards, or if tbey drive a fast horse. Now,
I do not drink wine or 9moke or attend
the theatre, never played a game of cards
and do not drive a fa*t horse, although I
would if I owned one. Bu; do net substitute
tests wh'.ch the Bible does not
establish. There hone passage of scripture
wide enough to let all in who ought
to enter and to Keep out all who ought
to be kept out: "Believe in the Lord
Jesus Christ and thou shalt- be saved."
Get a man's heart right and his life will
be right. But tow that the old creeds
ban been put under public scrutiny
I >mething radical must be done. Some
would split them, use would carve them,
some would elongata tnsra, so'ne *.ouiu
abbreviate them. At the present moment
and in the present shape they are a hindrance.
Lazarus is alive, but hampered
with the old grave elothes. If you want
o e glorious church free and unencumbered
take off the cerements of old ecclesiastical
vocabulary. Loose her, and
und let her go!
Again there are Christians wuo are
under sepulchral shadows ana hindered
and hobbled by doubts r.nd fears and
sins long ago repentoi of. What ihej
need is to understand the liberty of the
sons of G^d. They spend more time
under the shadow of Sinai than at the
base of OalrarT. The? have been sing

crcr wrote:

jaurtier, however, and the toque is only

vith a vine of buttercups or jc-ssamine,

ixorace Greeiey sjiid, ,:Go West,
youcg io?n," acd that s&yitigltas been
taken literally by thousand::. This
father of journalism in America spoke
figuratively when he used that expression
and meant, have confidence in
yourself; go where you must aave the
conliaence, and go, too, where there is
room r.ad opportunity to develop
yourself.
Thousand* of young men, and eld
mftc, too, have gone West, where
many nave lariven, out wnere many
more have succumbed to the too rough
iiis. Of the former we have heard, of
the latter we hare not.
Success comes to those who deserve
it, and hard work and strict attention
Jo business will bring its fruit. There
is such a thing as luck, but it seldom
comes, and he who waits for it will be
rsdly disappointed. We must exert
ourselves wherever we may be to gain
the golden fruit.
Many young men feel that South
Carolina is a poor Stat? to live in. All
admit the abuudance of her reiources,
but deny the ability to develop them.
Now, we wish to tell of a man who haa
?nade a fortune here, with disadvantages
to overcome which few have. It
ie simply of bis success in the business
world and what he has done in it that
we will write.
John L. Mimnaugh landed in New
York in 1873. He came from the north
of Ireland, -where his folks are well-todo.
But he came to this country with
only a nominal sum in his pocket and
with the hope of fortune?making in
his mind. He had no friends in this
country save an uncle, Mr. James A.
Gray, in Augusta, Ga., one of the
noted merchants of that city. With
him Mr. Mimnaugh spent th? succeeding
fire years and got his first idea* of
mercantile life.
In 1878, with less than $1,000 to hi3
credit, he went to Winnsboro and b?gan
business alone. Investing his
money judiciously, he went to work
and toon bui't up a large business. He
kept his eye op*n for bargains and
made several good trades, from which
he realized much, while in the town
among tne reu ciay mus.
i In 1883 he sold out his business in
| WinnVooro and came to Columbia All
i of us know the rest. From a business
! conducted in one store room, he has
t built up a mercantile business second
to none in the whole State. He recently
bought the Agnew block, which
j he haa had completely renovated.
; Both floors of this building are now
taxed to their limit to accommodate
the trade that is conducted therein,
and the hale, hearty, jovial, energetic
man whom you see watching every
part of that business, has built it up
jnMrftWhv his own r?luf>fc and rmsli.
No help has he received from outside
sources, and many are the difficulties
he has overcome, but he has
looked them all in the face and been
discouraged at nothing. Now he can
say he owes no man, and to the writer's
personal knowledge his ledgers show
a alance in bis favor over the amount
of $125,000.
In 1S78 he was worth $1,000, and in
1890, $125,000. Is that making money
last enough? For the Agnew block he
paid over $25,000, and every dollar he
ha<< paid in rash.
From tint showing can ore say
there is no life in our State, that no
money can be made nerei we give
this as an example of what can be
done in one of the most hazardous
trades known, one in which over 95
per cent, of those who engage in it
cunnot succeed.
There are many others that have
done as woll as Mr. Mimnaugh, but
there are few who have done as much
with as little extraneous aid. What
he has done should be a great stimului
and encouragement to the young
men of our State. That they can l:v?
in this beautiful, God-blessed land
among those who have kindred sympathies
and yet feel that the chances
for success are as great here as anywhere
else in this land.?Columbia

From what be saw of the institution
md from his conversation with President
Lee, he was conrioced that there
was no doubt of the college being a
success. It had bsen seriously ham
pered in the past by opposition in the
State and its operations had in late
years been pinched by small appropriations.
Last year, however, the
appropriation had been liberal enough
i to put the college on a better footing
than ever before. Another serio'ii
drawback had been destruction by fire
