THE DEAD-WEIGHT OF CREEDS. “The amazing insight of Jesus is revealed in His having kept Himself free from creedal statements, particularly statements that reflected the fate of man’s knowledge to ignorance of the universe that was characteristic of his times. In spite of our enormously increased knowledge of the universe, a large part of His sayings seem to us to be just as true now as they seemed to )e then. The things that a man does not say often reveal the understanding and penetration of his mind even more than the things he says. The fact' that Jesus confined Himself so largely to the statements of truths that still seem to us to have eternal value is what has made Him a leader and teacher of such supreme influence throughout the centuries. But throughout the past two thousand years, His followers, unlike Him, have in many instances loaded their various branches of His religion with creedal statements which are full of their own woefully human frailties.” Professor R. A. Millakan, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1923 for isolating and measuring the electron, writing in the “Forum” on science and religion.
