It is seen that the above covers the whole Bible,-, and that in this conflict the very existence of the Christian Church is at stake, that is, as an evan­ gelical and Divinely-appointed soul­ winning institution. The True Church W ill Triumph Let it be here stated with a tremen­ dous emphasis that we have no concern as to the ultimate triumph of the Church. Our concern, rather, is for the teaching, the ministry of service of the Church in the world today, for the lost and perishing that are dependent upon the Church for salvation, and for the sheep that have no true shepherds.

We demand that the false teacher of Modernism shall be un­ frocked. And listen, my friends: If God spares the writer he fully expects to see the day when a New Theology teach­ er will not be found occupying a chair in any evangelical institution through­ out this broad land, for the hour of his exit is at hand! The Church has the ability and is fully competent to adequately deal with the problem of modern criticism. The Church does not quite understand her
