"We recommend that the new course be named 'The Whole Bible Sunday School Course.' " MODERNISM IN DENOMINATIONAL and TAX-SUPPORTED SCHOOLS Realizing the Intimate relation be– tween this work and Christian educa– tion, we beg leave to emphasize the following points: First. Our denomi– national schools should be the subject of our special concern. Into very many of them modernism has crept with dis– astrous results. Scarcely a single de– nomination has wholly escaped the in– fection of unbelief and some of them are so far permeated by its intluence that only the power of God can possibly cleanse and redeem them.

"This course will commence October 1st, 1923. "The 'Sunday School Times' of Phila– delphia, the most intiuential Sunday School paper published in America, and one that has consistently stood for the Fundamentals of our faith as revealed in the Word, announces that it will carry a department each week in expo– sition of this new course.
