World 's Christian Fundamentals Association
Annual Meeting Entering their fall program with mem ories of the remarkable annual meeting held at Waterloo, Iowa, May 8 to 15, members of the World’s Christian Funda mentals Association are determined to move forward in active testimony and evangelism. The keynote of the May con ference was “Fundamentalism on the March.” Paul W . Rood as President of the Association and W .B . Riley of Minne apolis, Minn., as Executive Secretary were in charge of program arrangements. P. B. Chenault was pastor of the host church, the Walnut Street Baptist Church of Water loo. Many delegates at Waterloo felt that the spiritual fruitfulness of the gathering Was the Lord’s response to the deep spirit ual hunger manifested by convention visi tors. Unity in the group was particularly noticeable, and the leaders felt that this harmony doubtless accounted for much of the blessing received. On the concluding Sunday more than forty persons accepted Christ as their personal Saviour. Evangel ism was a predominant note. Tract distri bution and personal and public evangelism were emphasized constantly. As one of the delegates expressed it, “W e were not only contending for the faith; we were also propagating the faith.” Those in attendance went forth from Waterloo determined to organize the esti mated twenty million Fundamentalists of America into city, county, and state asso ciations, to provide a fellowship for all evangelical believers and an opportunity to express themselves unitedly in an effort to evangelize the nation and the world during the next decade. The group “served notice on Communists, modernists, evolutionists, and compromisers that Fundamentalism is on the march.” The conference issued a plea for the Fundamentalists of the nation to stand together and march together and work together and pray together for a na tion-wide revival that will save the nation from debacle and will bring multitudes to the Christ of Calvary and the Empty Tomb.

Sixth S t, Des Moines, Iowa, sends the following items concerning the work of the Iowa Christian Fundamentals Association. The Iowa Christian Fundamentals Asso ciation’s annual Christian Life Conference for young people was held at the Iowa State Fair Grounds June 27 to July 2. This was the fourth yearly conference and was the most successful of all that have been held thus far. This is a conference for Iowa young people regardless of denomination. It offers sound gospel speakers and leaders and proves a time of spiritual, physical, and mental refreshing to those who attend. V . L. Currier, who has been serving the Baptist Church in Vinton, Iowa, has ac cepted a call to the Findley Avenue Baptist Church in Ottumwa and has now taken up his new duties. A number of members of the Iowa and Des Moines Christian Fundamentals Asso ciations attended the Northwestern Bible and Missionary Conference at Medicine Lake, Minn., August 15 to 29. For Use in Conference or Classroom Workers among children will welcome the Bible Treasure Chest, a device intro duced by Bernice C. Thursen for the varied presentation of Bible truth. The chest can be purchased ready made, or can be assem bled by the children themselves with the aid of such simple materials as penny match boxes and colored papers. The Treasure Chest consists of a “book case” which, when closed, resembles the Bible itself. Opened, it reveals a number of shelves on which tiny “books” are placed, represent ing all the books of the Bible. By this means, not only the proper arrangement of the books of the Bible may be taught, but the contents of the books may be easily stressed. The possibilities of the plan are many. For further information, write Ber nice C. Thursen, Bible Treasure Chest Co., Box 1281, Hollywood, Calif.
