KING'S BUSINESS

TH~

gation of the evolutionary hypothesis have been passed and in many addi– tional states there are Anti-Evolution movements that have every prospect of final success. FOUNDATIONS OF OUR GOVERN– MENT IMPERILLED We make an appeal to every home– loving, heart-loving father and mother in the land to face the fact which is demonstrable In every communlty; that the foundation of our government is im– perilled. "If the foundations be de– stroyed, what can the righteous do?" Our appeal is not only to the mem– l:lers of evangelical churches, but to the great body of men and women whose homes and whose hearts and lives are involved. The Insidious injection of poison Into the minds of our boys and girls, and young men and young women, in the schools of the land, is an assault upon the very principles upon which our gov- Were these institutions, through their agents, distributing poison candy, how quickly would the citizens of ev– ery community rise in their wrath and wipe off from the face or the earth the instigators of such devilish work. But far, far worse is this propaganda, under the cover of education; which is pro– ducing a condition that will bring Christian nations to the low level of present-day Russia. TEXT BOOKS IN DENOMINATIONAL AND STATE SCHOOLS We call especial attention to the cir– cum•tance that in both denominational and state schools there are many loyal teachers who are refusing to be carried along by the current of infidelity but are taking a bold stand against unbe– lief. We deplore the all too common custom of adopting textbooks in both denominational and state institutions

that teach contrary to the sacred Scrip– tures, and, as we believe, science falsely so-called, and we hereby recommend that our COMMITTEE ON TEXT BOOKS be continued, and that In addition their attention be called to the textbooks now emanating from the pens of such men as Prof. George Mccready Prie'e, of College View, Neb., Prof. S. J. ilble, Wheaton, Ill., Prof. J. W. Jent, Bap– tist University, Oklahoma; Prof. Lean– der S. Keyser, Wittenberg College, Ohio, and other rising and capable text– booK authors, and that the committee be instructed to search out additional writers and urge the rapid creation of scientifically sound text books adequate to an entire course in schools of high school grade, college and university. A PREMILLENNIAL THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY NEEDED In this connection we reaffirm our convictions that one of the greatest our organization, is the establishment of a great evangelical, Premillennial theological seminary, to be centrally lo– cated and if possible associated with some established and thoroughly ortho– dox college or university. We declare our conviction that some man of means by gift of two to ten million dollars to this cause, could not only leave for himself an enduring monument, but provide the greatest single agency con– ceivable in meeting the menace of mod– ernism and saving the present day pul; pit from further apostacy. EVANGELISM AT HOME AND ABROAD

ernment has been founded. Unless it needs of the hour and opportunities of is checked, civilization cannot be main– tained.

The Christian Fundamentals move– ment is hy its very constitution both an evangelical and evangelistic move– ment, and your committee desires to call attention to the unique and import– ant place of Dlvinely aprointed office of the evangelist, recalling that our as– cended Lord gave "prophets, apostles, THE REWARD IS WELL WORTH
