TKe Christian Fundamentals League Succeeding the “ International Christian Truth Investigation Society” A n Organization to Combat “ Isms” on Constructive and Aggressive Lines
We are glad to recommend to our readers a new organization known as “ The Christian Fundamentals League,” with headquarters in Los Angeles. The league was originally organized under the name “ International Christian Truth Investigation Society” but the name proving cumbersome and not sug gestive of the real purposes of the so ciety, and helpful suggestions having been gathered out of a touch with many prominent ministers and laymen, the need of reorganization on a more sub stantial basis was seen.

The league has a national policy which provides that branch state of fices may be organized, and that under these state offices, community organiza tions may be formed, the responsibility of the latter being to erect and main tain thé literature racks, keeping them supplied with the literature .approved by the league. ih e community branches will also aid in bringing about meetings for the examination of the
