They work together. The minister Is Rev. Hurt not many years ago E. Howard, old In the an associate pastor square. (tone church on the public He is now the pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Los Angeles, which has a membership of nearly 1,000, after a fight and a transition which attracted wide attention to the church and pastor. The name of the church la now nominal. for It Is an entirely independent organisation, even more distinctly so than a Congregational society. It withdrew from the presbytery fourteen months ago, and has been growing more vigorously than before. In most churches the attendance Is largely contributed by women, but in this church the majority of the members are men. Some have said that men are more critical in their thought, while women are more confiding and less apt to challenge a form of belief. The doctrinal position of the Los Angeles church may have something to do with 'Ills peculiarity of Its membership. In answering questions propounded by a reporter, Mr. Howard told many Interesting things about his church and the new religious movement which its declaration of ecclesiastical Independence inaugurates. ' of the transformed The church are now being prepared. Virtually every Presbyterian and most other churches have incorporated In their organic law some provision for adherence to a system of doctrine. The declaration of the First Presbyterian church of Los Angeles will simply state that it Is organised for religious purposes." The name Is retained .for the reason that the title is that under which the church society was incorporated in accordance with the state laws. Mr. Howard is an interesting young man and a bright representative of "the new theology." He preached Just as he thought in addressing the congregation from the pulpit of the Los Angeles church. He remarked yesterday that "the pew is usually in advance of the pulpit," and perhaps he was thinking of his fellow ministers of the Los Angeles presbytery, for they did not believe that a Presbyterian minister 'should express the views which he expressed. But they did not wish to have a doctrinal dispute become public. When, therefore, a movement was on foot in the society to have the church moved up town and a minority opposed the plan, advantage was taken of the opportunity for a determination In presbytery to have the society disbanded. The society paid no attention to the dictum, and Mr. Howard continued to preach, his congregation upholding him. The presbytery tried and found the pastor and elders guilty of insubord nation. The whole society withdrew from the presbytery and won in the contest for control of the property. I believe that at least a large proportion of the members of s, the creeds of the but such changes are bard te make. See how much contention arose over the mere proposal to revise the Presbyterian confession. I believe in a religion that walke. It is time to quit flying with doctrinal wings through the air and come down to the earth, where we can help men of tha present day. 1 believe that we should each live according to the beat ideals that are In us. God will then take rare of the hereafter. My work is in the present world, and the bliss of heaven and the blister of hell Is not my present concern. These are things about which we know nothing. There Is a great movement of transition, of intellectual unrest, of the tearing down of old things preparatory to the building of new In this day. It is noticeably so In the sociological and industrial field and In the religious field. These Influences are converging, and a climax Is approaching. "In religion giro may not believe a great many things they did. but they will believe a few essential thlnga with all their hearts, so that their lives will be powerfully moved by them. This is the age of a religion that will take hold of the condition of men here on earth, which will bring the kingdom of God In thla world and not make men wait until the arrival in heaven for Its enjoyment.

A church without doctrine, but full of practical Christianity, is the church foi this day.In ant xrer to questions as to his personal cc aceptlona on familiar orthodox views, Mr. Howard said he took the sermon on the mount to contain the cofe of the whole Christian religion. The weltinga of the apostles contained to his view, the seeds of denominational dissension, because the apostles devehiped Individual and divergent He thought It probable that early Christian writers were driven to certain positions by the logic of their poslt.ons, and ao the New Testament He has seen similar indeveloped. stances in the cases of modern i and Sunday school teachers and he sjpposed that the assertions might have been made in what the doctrinaire supposed to be all honesty of - the-ologli- min-Ist- et mlqd.
