World's Christian Fundamentals Association
The Iowa Christian Fundamentals As sociation plans to hold its annual confer ence in the Walnut Street Baptist Church, Waterloo, Iowa, April 26 to 28, 1937, with L. Sale-Harrison as the principal speaker. A . C. Huston, 2737 Des Moines St., Des Moines, Iowa, General Secretary of the Association, will be glad to answer inquiries about the arrangements. A . G. Annette, President of the Iowa As sociation, addresses the following plea to fundamental ministers: ‘“ Taste and see that the Lord is good.’ Fundamentalists may have a great deal to say about doc trine, and may have it all in perfect order, but unless that doctrine is the kind that truly gets hold of the hearts of men and women and satisfies that hunger for ‘the peace that Jesus gives,’ what is accom plished? “ I am glad to note that many, of our fundamental churches are in the midst of special evangelistic services. That is a sign of life indeed. What can modernism sub stitute for the gospel of the Son of God, a gospel that ‘is the power o f God’ ? Let all who name the name of Christ and believe in the fundamentals of our precious Faith hold forth the W ord of life in any and all ways this winter. Herein is the Spirit of God given a chance to convict and to con vert. Believe this, dear servant of God, and whether your flock is large or small, ‘preach the word.’ God will do His part always.” Iowa groups who would like help in spe cial evangelistic meetings and in Bible con ferences are urged to write to the Iowa Association’s conference secretary, Robert M . Arthur, R. F. D. 1, Iowa City, Iowa. Fred A. Flora, one of the field workers o f the W orld’s Christian Fundamentals As sociation, in September conducted a two weeks’ Bible conference in Maxwell, Iowa, and in October a similar conference and evangelistic meeting in Osceola, Ind., fol lowed by four days in the Gospel Center in Mishawaka, Ind.

He may be addressed at Route 4, Box 94, South Bend, Ind. Evangelistic Notices Leonard Ellers (Biola, ’30), cowboy evangelist, 124 N. Florence, Burbank, Calif., has been experiencing the Lord’s blessing in Lingle, Guernsey, and Riverton, Wyo., in each of which places he not only held evangelistic services but had an opportunity to give a testimony to the young people in the public schools. Afternoon children’s meetings were fruitful also. A t Riverton, some of the younger Indians from the reser vation attended the services. Mr. Eilers is scheduled to hold services as follows: Nov.
26 to Dec. 6— First Presbyterian Church, San Pedro, Calif.; Jan. 10 to 24— First Baptist Church, Wheatland, W yo.; Jan. 27 to Feb. 14— Union Meeting, Torrington, W yo.; Feb. 17 to 28—First Baptist Church, Manderson, W yo.; and March 7 to 21— Union Meeting, Powell, Wyo.

Mr. and Mrs. Rawlins plan to return to the Pacific Coast after the first of January. They have a program that they believe will be of great help to the pastors, with messages on sin, salvation, Christian living, and tithing. The messages are illustrated with E. J. Pace’s cartoons.

BIOLA’ S PRESIDENT VISITS MIDDLE WEST [Continued from page 460] nesota where he had lived as a boy. Writing to friends at the Institute concern ing the possibility of this visit, Dr. Rood said, “ I am hoping to win some of my old schoolmates for the Lord.” Later, summing up the work of several weeks, he added gratefully, “ I believe God has done a real work in the hearts of His people.” In all that God has wrought through the instrumentality o f Biola’s President, the Bible Institute of Los Angeles rejoices.
