1' HE KING ' S BUSINESS pastors, teachers and evangelists." we prize this appointment and pledge to that great company of loyal men, the evangelists of America and other lands, our intention to give them as far as pos– sible both employment and support. We record our deep gratitude that prac– tically to a man they stand four-square tor the faith once delivered, and are unshaken in their loyalty to God and His Word, thereby giving proof that the office is still one of Divine appoint– ment and pleasure. PERSONAL EVANGELISM We further record our conviction that the Fundamentals Movement shou Id encourage and extend the work of personal evangelism, instructing and inspiring an ever-increasing company of Christian men to engage in this Di– vinely approved method of winning their fellows "one by one," as Philip won the Ethiopian, through the use or the Word. IMPORTANCE OF EVANGELISTIC PASTORS Wo also recognize the importance of the evangelistic pastor. We rejoice that to this hour the most notable soul winners in every evangelical denomina– tion are men in absolute accord with our association, and we invite the at– tention of the churches and the world to the circumstance that the outstand– ing spiritual fruits of the day are to be found on the fields of men who are loyal to the faith once delivered. We hold not only the most prominent pulpits In America, but among the lesser pastor– ates, we have the men whose ministry is making such rapid progress as to prove the power of God with them and the pleasure of God in them, and we hereby pledge the backing of the Chris– tian Fnndamentals Association to those lesser men whom denominational over– lords are attempting to silence or retire. PRAYER IS THE WAY OF POWER Your Committee realizes that prayer Is the WAY OF POWER. We believe
our God Is able to do "exceeding abun– dantly above a ll that we have ask ed or thought," and our faith Is profoundly encouraged by the evident blessing tha t He is putting upon both the Association and Its Individual members. We en– courage our brethren everywhere to make much of existing Prayer Meet– ings, to call together new companies to wait upon the Lord, and to watch for His blessing; to foster the restoration of the family altar; to attend, inviting oth&rs with them, upon the stated prayer meetings of their churches; to neither forget nor neglect p_ersonal de– votion-in other words, to keep in con– stant touch with Him from Whom all strength cometh, and on Whom all hopes depend. IMPORTANCE OF LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS We recommend that our organization be further perfected, first, by the filling of all the offices created by our con– stitution, and second, by the suggestion that a local organization be accomplish– ed in every state of the United States, every Province of Canada, and also projected into other nations as rapidly as possible. We call attention to the fact that a number of States have al– ready organized such branches of the Fundamentals Association, viz. Iowa, Missouri, Montana, and others, and in Chicago and other cities local ministers have provided a Fundamentals fellow– ship and hold stated meetings. We com– mend this course to other cities and all the more heartily advise it in view of the determined purpose of the Feil . era! Council of the Churches of Christ of America, a modernist organization, to capture the ministerial Conferences of the entire country. We warn our brethren against this unscriptural al– liance and perversive fellowship . We hereby appeal to the various denomina– tions of which we are active members to wash their hands of the Federal Council of the Churches or Christ or
WHILE. (Read about it on Page 886 )
