unwillingly received copies of the mag azine from a friend, but since has come to love its message and resulting from the inspiration for service he has re ceived he has organized a class back in the hills, miles from any church and is faithfully teaching the Word. Does it pay to pass on your copies of the K. B.? Floyd Pierson writes from Dungu, Congo Beige, Africa, “I am on the farth est trench on the line of advance of the A. I. M. toward Lake Chad and on into the Cameroun.. I have made an ad vance of 150 kilometers into the devil’s territory since I left Gangara, and now I am on the outpost duty trying to hold the fort until more troops can come up from the rear. For 1000 miles to the west and northwest there is not a single witness of the cross, just because you and I have been so slow to answer the call. And to think that the soldiers of the colors when they were told to go over the top, went in the face of almost certain, death and did it for their coun try and their leaders, and why not we, the soldiers of the Great Leader who has never lost a single fight?” J. W. Johnston, a former student in Dungu, Congo Beige, writes, “Please pray the evil one away from the lives of the native evangelists. The power of Satan is fearful in this land and noth ing but the power of Jesus is victori ous.” Martha C. Pohnert, a former student at Mi Tang Hsien, China, says, “I am most happy in the thought that Dr. Tor- rey is going to be in China this summer. It will seem so good to talk with him again.” THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS Dr. James M. Gray, dean of Moody Bible Institute, probably voices the posi tion of Bible Institutes in general in what he says concerning the League of Nations issue. He says: “We have no position to maintain and we are not taking sides, for this is a political more than a religious question, but we are urging our readers to reflect, to read the covenant, to listen atten tively and without prejudice to the cur rent debates in the United States Sen ate, and above all, to pray that the God of nations, who is as well the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, may
rule and overrule in the hearts of our political leaders so that no harm may come to our nation and that His will may be done in the world. No matter how wise and disinterested the diplomats may be who have framed the proposed covenant of the League of Nations, the people of the United States must do some independent thinking on this sub ject or forfeit their right to call this government a democracy. Have we not reason to urge our read ers to make this great matter the sub ject of their prayers?” giiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiilipniiiiliuiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig | lDlBLE schools should be | | •*-' strengthened and sustained. '[ | . At the very time when most I g of the theological seminaries of | | the country are refusing the in- | 1 sistent demand that theydeclare | | their faith, the faith of the Bible | schools is not only formulated, but | jg freely and fully stated on all fit I | occasions. Without exception they 1 | stand for the authority of the | I 1: Book; without exception they - 1 1 stand for thedeity of Christ; ? | r | without exception they teach the I r 1 sufficiency of Christ’s atonement | | -by the shedding of His blood; | j without exception they believe in g, g „-His actual resurrection from the | J grave, in the reality of His ascen- | j sion to the right hahd of God, in ; [J | His present priestly office as our, | g intercessor, and in His promised , g | return to reign as King. | In all this they present a I i strange contrast to the majority 1 g of our modern theological semina- g § ries, a contrast so evident that # | one of the most widely known the- 1. i ological seminary men on the I I American cdntinent. Dr. Augustus '§ g H. Strong, has felt compelled to J g say: “The theological seminaries g | of almost all our denominations i | are becoming So infected with this | | grievous error (skepticism) that I g they are not so much organs of I g Christ as they are organs of Anti- I | Christ. This accounts for the rise I = all over the land of Bible schools, | g to take the place of seminaries.”-— 1 | Dr. W. B. Riley. ^nimiitHimimiiiuimiifuiiiiniinmtmminmiiminimimiiiiniiiiiHiimimfi
