AN AGE OF GREAT
CHANGES.
THE FAITH OF TO-DAY...--
AS FIRM AS A THOUSAND YEARS AGO
ST. JOHN'S CATHEDRAL SERMÖN.
The Rev. H. Copley Moyle, preaching at St. John's Cathedral on Sunday, took Tas his text the words from St. Luke I. 35. "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the Highest shall ever shadow thee, therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thes, shall be called the Son of God."
I do not think that anyone will con- tradict me, he said, when I say we live in an age of great changes. The chief characteristic of our time is a greater speed. Almost everything is done more quickly than it used to be.
You can Ay from London to Paris for an after noon's shopping and be back in London for dinner. You can have a conversation

OUR RELIGIOUS BELIEF. And is this also true of our religious belief? We constantly bear of the changes which have taken place and are still taking place in what men, believe, but we need to distinguish between the essential,and the non-essential. In many things we have changed our belief in the last 50 years, but have we necessarily changed with regard to the fundamentals of the Christian Creedi
But
Our fathers took many things in the Bible to be literal statements of fact which we no longer regard as such. In the Old Testament we now recognise much that is myth which was once con- sidered history. No Christian scholar regards the first eleven chapters of Genesis as history but as myth. there is nothing new in that. An early Christian writer, Arigen, tells us that the story of Adam and Eve must be regarded as an Allegory and not as his. tory. It is true that for the last four hundred years there, was an almost universal belief amongst Christians that all the books of the Bible were to, be
regarded as historical, but it is now re- cognised that much of them is legendary, and scholars to-day distinguish between the legendary and the historic. The book of Jonah which, thirty years ago, was generally regarded as history is to-day regarded as an allegory written to teach the Jews the much needed lesson that God's love was not confined to the Jews but included the Gentiles whom they War is changing. The last Great War despised. It is not so many years ago was very different from any previous that anti-Christian writers asked with war, and we are told, and can well be triumph, "Who was Cain's wife" and lieve, that the next great war if there Christian apologists set themselves to be one (which may God forbid) will show answer the question. To-day no Chris- as changed conditions, and an advancean scholar would attempt such a task, of scientific means of destruction far be

Earth and in Jesus Christ and in the
Holy Ghost and in the Holy Catholic' Church, and none of the changes caused by fresh knowledge have given us reason to give up any of these essential articles of our faith. They stand to-day as firmly as they stood a thousand years ago, and they satisfy the needs of the human heart now as much as they ever did,
FUNDAMENTALS.
There are, of course, those who would deny the articles of the, Creed to-day as there have always been. There are some who would like to take advantage of the changing "of so many things and so many beliefs to attempt to change the funda mentals, of the Christian, Creed. The doctrine of the person of Jesus Christ is being attached, in many ways to-day and there are those who deny the facts of
But it is not necessary to labour the point you will all agree that we live in an age, of change. Yet I think we are often apt to exaggerate the changes, and to say that everything is changed which it is very far from being the case. In fact when we look at the matter more carefully we shall be forced to confess that the changes are in things of secondary and not of primary import ance. The man who flies over to Paris for the afternoon and returns to London at night bas still the same need of food the Creed and would have us to believe as his predecessor of 100 years ago who that He was only a highly gifted man.. took some days to make the journey.
