CONVENTION OP ORTHODOX COLLEGES
For progressive Bible study a good Bible dictionary is indispensable M any Bible stu d en ts reg retfu lly find th eir tim e alm o st entirely occupied w ith the necessary p u rsu its of daily living; little tim e rem ains for self-developm ent o r m ental im provem ent, especially th a t of a religious n atu re. A s a result, Bible stu d y fo r m any falls in to an a d ju n c t in te re st in stead of a first consideration. If th e av erag e Bible stu d en t is com pelled b y his force of circum stan ces to do his stu d y in g su b o rd in ately to his o th e r duties an d in terests, th en a d ictio n ary of brief b u t essential form should ap p eal to him . Such a d ictio n ary is th is one by P ro fesso r D avis.
The National Convention of Ortho dox Colleges held recently a t Moody Bible In stitu te, Chicago, proved to be successful beyond th e expectations of its promoters. More th an twenty Col leges were represented a t th e Conven tion, and as many as twelve different religious denom inations are known to have been represented by delegates. Doctor C. B. W idmeyer, P residen t of P asadena College, Pasadena, Califor nia, not only represented his own In stitu tion , bu t also th e Association of Orthodox Colleges of California. At th is Convention, th e foundation was laid for th e establishing of a per m anent organization to be known as the Association of Conservative P ro te sta n t Colleges. As a basis for th eir common purpose, th e following sta te ment of faith was agreed upon and subscribed to by all th e paticipating In stitu tio n s: S tatem ent of F a ith 1.

We believe in th e deity and virgin b irth of Christ, and in the person ality of th e Holy Spirit. ■3. We believe th a t God created the physical universe by a separate act of divine power, and th a t He cre ated man in His own image, deny ing th e modern hypothesis of evo lu tion ; nor do we believe th a t man is a product of such evolution. 4. We believe in th e fall of man through transgression, and in the sub stitu tionary a t o n e m e n t of Christ. 5. We believe in th e necessity of the new b irth , and in pu rity of h ea rt and life. 6. We believe in th e resu rrection of th e body. 7.
