(Many inquiries come to the editor of The K ing’s Business regarding a reliable college to which paren ts may send th e ir young people w ithout fear of th e ir faith being underm ined, and th erefo re we take pleasure in giving th e following notice of W heaton Col lege, and commending its unbiased, fundam ental position. As an educa tional in stitu tion it is safe, sound, satisfacto ry .) I am constantly hearing about “ Christian education” and “ Christian colleges.” All colleges now wish to be called “ C hristian.” Not long since a large university advertised th a t the m ajority of th e ir teaching force were now members of churches, and the article said, “No one can now deny us th e name of Christian. We are a Christian in stitu tion .” In th is day when all people wish to be considered Christian th ere is no way in which one can know the facts in th e case w ithou t specifications. Our method of carrying on a Christian in stitu tion is, in a word, this: We do no t select tru stees who are no t con fessed Christians. Every one of our tru stees are requested to sign a p lat form which specifies belief in th e fun dam ental doctrines of the historic Christian faith, as follows: The Verbal Inspiration of th e Bible. The T rin ity of the Godhead. The V irgin B irth and Deity of Jesus Christ. The Necessity o f-th e Substitution ary A tonement and th e New B irth. The Bodily Resurrection, Ascension and Prem illennial Coming of Jesus Christ. . The Bodily R esurrection of the Ju s t and Unjust, the Everlasting Blessed ness of the Saved, and th e Everlasting Punishm ent of the Lost. The reason fo r th is is th a t we wish to not only have tru stees who once w ere’ Christians, b u t Christians who are alive, Christian men, carrying on the Lord’s work. We select our teachers in the same manner. Our teachers also are requested each year to subscribe to th e platform of the college. In this m anner we keep our knowledge of th e ir faith up to date. We do not con sider for teaching positions persons who are not in agreem ent w ith our platform . The following questionnaire is sent to possible teachers: “ (1 ). Áre you a C h ristian?............. If so, how long have you been saved? ................(2 ). Of w hat church are you a m ember?......................... (3 ). Are you connected w ith any secret society? ............. (4 ).

Do you dance, play cards, atten d th eaters, attend movies, or associate w ith worldly people in other amusements such as are indicated above?................ (7 ).

As to students, we do not require those who are en tering to have made a profession of religion. We believe th a t th e college ought to help students who are not Christians to become so, and we tru s t th a t th is will be the resu lt of th e ir stay w ith us. Persons who actively oppose Christian faith are not perm itted to rem ain as stu dents.
