THE K I N G ’ S B U S I N E S S
It will take the Church a long time to rally from this worldly movement. Many of the people will seek to withdraw their subscriptions or to change the conditions of payment, or they will pay under protest. The Church must pay the bills which run into the millions. The “ friendly citizens who live in “ No Man’s Land” could not be hoodwinked. Those men who never take the church seriously in these days have the laugh on these lead ers who thought they knew enough about big business to fool the people. Let us bury the Interchurch World Movement in No Man’s Land and erect a little slab over the grave on which shall be inscribed “ The Inter church World Movement died a deserved death in seeking to do the dear people.” ' Then let us get back to the Bible, the dear old Book! Let us get back to our knees in prayer and thanksgiving. Let us put on the whole armor of God. Let us fight the good fight. Let us humbly, prayerfully, diligently, unceasingly seek to save the lost. Let us train men and women m the Word of God and let us send them forth to all lands with the Word of Life. —T. C. H. ܧ Êà M A PROTESTING P r o t e c t Dr. Walter B. Hinson is pastor of the Bast Side Baptist Church of Portland, Oregon. He is a real preacher of the whole Gospel. He is a man with a heart. He has convictions that are founded upon God’s inerrant Word. He has the courage of a man of God to match his convictions. He has a seer’s vision and a prophet’s voice. When you read one of his sermons you feel like putting on your sword and going forth to war. Read this extract from one of his recent sermons “ I cannot but state that I think the time has come when there must be lines of discrimination between- those who love the truth and those who are hostile to it. If the Godhead of Jesus Christ is a myth, the man who holds this view must stand on one side and I on this. For I have no communion with him, and he can have none with me. If the Scriptural assertion ‘Without shedding of blood there is no remission’ is futile and foolish, then they must go north and I will go south. And I think God is sounding today, clear as a bugle call, ‘Come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord.’ * * * I have a feeling during these last days something as Elijah felt, I suppose, when he said, If God be God, serve Him; if Baal, serve him.’ There never was a time in the history of the Church when the call was more definitely distinct than now for preachers and leaders of red blood to lift up their voices and sound the alarm. And should we not all pray earnestly to God that men likeminded with Dr. Hinson will be raised up all over our beloved country, in every denomination, to stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made them free. (Gal. 5 :1); to stand fast in the faith (1 Cor. 16:13); to stand with loins girt about with truth (Eph. 6:14); to put on the whole armor of God that they may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (Eph. 6 :11); to stand against the devilish wiles of the Modernists ,the Higher Critics, the pussyfooting teachers in the schools and colleges and seminaries who are seeking to rob men and women of their faith. “ Pray, brethren, pray, for the night is coming; praise, brethren, praise, for the morning light is breaking and the King cometh!’ ’ —T.
