THE KING'S BUSINESS
America once and for all, and be done with an Institution that bears the name of Christ but does not accept His Word in its entirety or declare itself for any evangelical faith. 100,000 NEW MEMBERS GOAL for COMING YEAR. Finally, we recommend that the goal of new members for the year be set at 100,000 and that as members of the Association we pledge ourselves to co– operate to that end. We call upon those worthy and influential magazines and newspapers who have stood by us in loyalty from the hour of our birth, to carry this call for 100,000 members and In every way co-operate with us in accomplishing the same, and in turn rejoicing in their splendid defense and propagation of the faith once ctelivered, we pledge them our loyalty and all con– ceivable aid. We note with extreme pleasure that the Gospel Centers and many of the down-town missions of America and Canada have remained thoroughly evan– gelical and in every way loyal to the Lord, a nd we count them not alone our brethren in the faith, but our prized co– laborers for Its propagation. Concerning MISSIONS ON THE FOR– EIGN FIELD, we note with deep grief the fact that modernism is menacing the mission work of China, Japan, In– dia, Africa, practically every continent and Island of the world. We extend to the Bible Union of China fr.aternal greetings and pledge to them a con– stant vigilance against having their work further complicated by the ap– pointment of nnbelievers to their fields, and further strengthened by the equip– ment and commission to these same field~ of consecrated men and women of God. We rejoice In the exceeding growth of those Seminaries that have MODERNISM ON THE FOREIGN FIELD
stood loyal to God's Word, and we note with profoundest pleasure the unpre– cedented progress of our great and growing Bible Training Schools, institu– tions whose increasing power indicates the certainty of Divine pleasure in them. We commend these schools to par– ents as safe places for the equipment of !hen for the ministry, and young men and women to become missionaries at heme and abroad, and we express our gratitude that Fundamentalist laymen are increasingly contributing means for the 11pbuilding of these institutions and are thereby rapidly making them to be– come the most notable and capable schools devoted to the education of young men and women for the ministry and missions. In closing this series of recommenda– tions, we record our profound appre– ciation of the splendid reports of the Convention printed in the daily papers of both Fort Worth and Dallas. More painetaking and adequate reports have never been accorded us, and we hereby extend our thanks to the editors and re– porters for their admirable co-opera– tion and service. We further extend to the pastor of the First Baptist Church, Fort Worth, Rev. J. Frank Norris, his officials, mem– bers, and particularly to his salaried force, our heartiest thanks for their uniform hospitality, their constant and invaluable help and the wholly ade– quate provision made for all the needs of the convention. THANKS DUE TO LOCAL PRESS and FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
Respectfully submitted, T. C. HORTON, L. W. MUNHALL, T. T. SHIELDS, J . F. NORRIS, Committee on Resolutions.
