pupils. This was vividly demonstrated in an address by Dr. T. T. Martin, Methodist evangelist from Blue Mountain, Miss., on "Hell in the High Schools," in which he said: "Will a child believe his pastor when he says 'God created the heavens and the earth' when his teacher tells him that the earth 'just happened' 1 Will a child believe that God made man in His own image and every living thing after its kind when his teacher tells him that these things were brought into their present condition after years of 'basking in the sun' 1 The Germans who poisoned wells and committed other outrages were angels compared to those who would spread the doc– trine of Darwinism in our schools." Dr. Martin urged his hearers not to rest until such teachings were forever driven out, and was greeted with tumultuous applause. The Verdict was such as might have been expected in view of the char– acter of the crime charged, the nature of the evidence presented, and the personnel of the jury, and is embodied in the report of the Committee on Resolutions, printed in full in this issue. The Scriptural Sentence is found in 2 Peter 2 :1, 9; 3 :17, 18 : "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon them– selves swift destruction. The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished. Ye, therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 'l'o him be glory both now and for ever. .Amen." T. C.H. PRAY, BRETHREN, PRAY! We fully believe that God has ordained the World's Fundamental Association and waits to shower His richest blessing upon it. Its prime purpose is the defence of His holy, unimpeachable Written Word, and Him who is inseparably identified and inwrought with that Word-His beloved Son in whom He is well pleased. We als~ fully believe that-as in all other matters-concerning His church and its honor-He loves to have us upon our faces in humble de– pendence upon Himself. There is always the grave danger in an organiza– tion of this kind lest dependence be placed upon men and means rather than upon Himself. God is jealous for His own glory. We often seek the glory for our– selves. Let us, therefore, seek to gather wherever possible and plead for the Holy Spirit's presence and power in all our effort. Whatever is done He must do it, but as He must use human agencies, let us lay ourselves at Hi~ feet for any service, at any time, in any way. -'r. C.H. WHEN? (See Page 886)
