5 The Universal Creed By Dr. Frank Crane In tho ono universal church to which all good mon belong, composed ot thoao of all faiths who honestly live up to tho best thoy know, whether Christian or Pagan, Jew or Oontlle, Catholic or Protestant, thoro Is a cer tain fundamental creed. This, tho greatest common divisor of all creeds, may bo thus stated: 1. Tho good man sees, acknowl edges, and bollevos In, first of ull, tho dlffercnco between right and wrong. Whon tho word ought disappears from ono's vocabulary ho may bo pure of moral decay. Tho ono man nbomlna bio to any decent society Is tho man who thinks nothing matters. Wo can tolerate one, oven, who doubts thoro Is a God; but If ono beliovos there Is no Jlno between right and Wrong, thon, as Dr. Johnson said, "lot us count our spoons when ho leaves." 2. Tho good man believes that hap piness will come to him, permanently, and ns a law, only as he practices do lug right. Joy, peace, and bliss nro not to bo cozened nor Joggled from God or naturo,' but nro tho suro por tion of them that persistently do what they think right. Doing right,, of courso, does not always bring money or famo or other external desired things, but It brings peaco and polso to tho bouI, ns surely as three times flvo makes fifteen. Thoro nro no moro exception to this rulo than to a law ot iphyslco or of geometry. Tho cosmic accuracy runs In spiritual as well as in material things. 3. Tho good man's duty (In which ho find hnppinesa) Is first of all to do tvelop his personality. God mado him for a purpose; his Joy will consist In finding and fulfilling that purpose Ho is not to be somo ono else, not to copy; but, using all mastors, to bo come moro and more himsolf. 4. It is his duty to bo strong. Ho can bQ of uso to others only as'ho has forco In himself. Ho tlioreforo Btmns all things that tend to weaken his arm, his brain, or his heart. 5, His duty 1b to be clean. This Item of the creed Is oldest and now est; oldest, In that cloanslngs wore a part of ovory early rollglon, tho com raands of Moses, for Instance, abound ing in many luBtral rites; newest, in that the ono lesson ot modern science is the nower and safety of tho ant! septic lifo. Tho devil's namo as far ns bodily health and mental clearness and spiritual vigor is concerned, is dirt. Dirt Is tho ono enemy to bo .hated with all one's soul and to bo fought unto otto's last breath. G. His duty is to bo bravo. Tho basic sin of all sins is cowardice. Tho high or tho realm of lifo In which we movo the moro dangerous is any kind, of fear. And tho most deadly of all fears is tho fear of tho truth, or the fear for tho truth. Any man or Institution that HE lit 8 to prcsorve himself or Itself, for tho snko of "expediency," that Is to say, for fear tho truth might do harm, any man ot institution, in tho words of Zaugwlll, that proposes to live and dio in "an autocasm without facts," 1b doomed. 7. His duty 1b to lovo. Although, ac cording to tho foregoing points in tho creed, ho Is to dovclop self and bo clean, bravo, and strong, yet ho is to find his motive for all this and tho end for which he doos all this, outsldo and not inside of himself. It is at this point that ho rises, like an aeroplane leaving the runway on thb ground and soaring aloft; hero tho mnn leaves the company and -slmlll tudo of all other creatures. In his powor to be actuated by unsolflsh mo tlves he becomes as a god compared to the beasts. lid" lives for his wife, his children, his friends, his country, his race; so, In widening wnves liis radlo-dynamlo flows. Tho gopd man therefore hates no living creature. Ho dosplses no human being. In him Is a centrifugal power out flowing to inundato the unlvorse. 8. From this lovo arise all gracof and virtues as., naturally as peaches grow from poach trees. Loving all he cannot boII a soul, nor wrong a fellow being, not hurt wantonly, nor usurp, nor push for precedence, nor bo un kind, nor In any way drift into the low, poUon life of egoism. 9. His ono aim, last of all, Is tc serve. Strong in hlmBelf, fearless and loving, ho arlseB at length to tho plat form where stands ho who was called "tho first born among many brothren." He Is the master's companion and also can put away all cheap success, all luxuries of greed and dominance, and repeat his master's words: "Lot him who would bo greatest among you be servant of .all, I, too, como not to bo ministered unto, but to minister." The Supreme Message. Christ shall bo first or not nt all. In tho lives of men let us live nobler, try to bo better nnd truer to ourselves and give our testimony whenever tho opportune tlmo comes. Rev. C. K. Carpenter, Methodist Episcopal, Galea burg, 111. No Substitute. Interest In art, letters and architec ture, success in business politics and social life, loyalty to clubs, creeds and .rituals will not satisfy tho soul's na tlvo thirst for God.

Tho announcement that they aro winding up their financial affairs In Ohio and New York calls attention to tho final failure ot ono ot the longest existing of the many communistic ox- ,pcrImonts that havo been trlod in this country. In tho years following the American Revolution, moro than a score of com munistic sectB nnd dolonlcs were es tablished In tho 'United States. Some of them appealed to tho sonsualltlos and somo of thom wero plain swin dles. Tho Shakers hold out no sensu al or financial allurements nnd it is surprising that thoy havo endured so long, oxcept on tho theory that their simplicity In living attracted recruits and mado thom tho solo survivors of all these social oxjjerlmonts.
