It is said by some, as I think, unwise defenders of the faith, that a
colorless Christianity is no Christianity at all, that you can have no
church without a definite creed. To the first I would reply that, after
all, the bright white light is, in its purity, better than all color.
To the second, I admit that every church must have a definite creed,
but the more simple and broad that creed is the better. It is only
the simplest creed which can give us the unity, or the tolerance in
diversity, for which all good men are longing.
