BUSINESS
I H t H i i t f J
Not Enough Said I find this a wonderfully helpful issue (December), especially for those who have never read one of these excellent Christian magazines. There’s only one thing—I don’t un derstand why there isn’t more writ ten against worldliness -r- movies, dances, etc. So many Christians can’t see a bit of harm in those things and never hear a minister preach against them. God says that if we are partly worldly He will count us wholly worldly, so to me it is a serious sub ject about which more should be written. N ame N ot G iven Doesn’t Like Labels I feel your attitude toward the Federal Council of Churches, and your labeling of any church not of your way of thinking as modernistic, is unkindly and not Christlike. I am a Methodist, and believe there are as many saints and devoted souls in that church and others, as there are in those who so strongly label them selves “ fundamental” and “ Bible Christians.” We love the Bible as much as you do, yet all people cannot interpret it in the same way. My “ quarrel” with you would be that you are always so sure you are right, and others are wrong, and label many great Christians, giving their lives in the service of our Lord, as “mod ernists.” I dislike labels, and all dis sensions between Christian people!! If we expect to bring the world to our one Master, is He pleased that we criticize and pull apart—is that His spirit? One statement in “Geneva Congress Reports” (recent article) I especially regret—that they were united “ in their conviction that there must be neither fellowship nor organizational connection with those who have departed from fundamental Bible Christianity.” To me that sounds not Christlike—it is a very strange thing to me and one that borders on egotism that you feel you can judge great bodies of other Christian peoples— and we are Christian. Let us honestly face it and pray more about it, and try to see that some go about the “King’s business” in different ways than others, but all with the same love of Him and the same aim of bringing others to Him.
