Evangelistic Notices Harold and Mrs. Alexander are hav ing unusual opportunities for evangel ism among boys and girls in the South. At Spartanburg, S. C., they had a group of more than 470 children in their Bible meetings. Future appointments include the following: Nov. 12 to Dec. 3—Har old Smith Tabernacle, Greenville, S. C.; Dec. 5—Charlotte Bible Institute, Char lotte, N. C., and Dec. 10—Atlanta Bible Institute, Atlanta, Ga. The, Alexanders expect to return to California about Christmas time. Address: P. O. Box 321, Dos Angeles, Calif. L. C. Robie was the evangelist whom *' the Lord used in a gracious time of re vival and blessing in the Calvary Evan gelical Church, Ann Arbor, Mich., in October.

This does not mean, however, that the movement is not one with which Christians can and should sym pathize. When one stops to think that Mexico has had 400 years of a religion which outlawed the Word of God with its moralizing influence, whereas the United States has had the open Bible ever since the nation was founded, it- is surprising indeed to find that Mexico has produced a Government which is today fighting against the liquor traffic and gambling, while our own Govern ment has let down the bars to both of ■ these evils. Certainly we must admit, while recognizing the curse which Ro manism has been to Mexico, that there has been something wrong with our own evangelical Christianity though not with the Christ of the Bible. An Imperative Distinction As mutual acquaintance has dispelled misunderstandings and ill feeling, so also it has enlightened many an anti- religious leader in Mexico as to the dis tinction to be made between religion and the teachings , of Christ. They had known all too well the errors of Roman ism and had suspected all religious groups of the same errors, though to a lesser degree. The emphasis placed upon organization -by most of the evangelical missons and the fact that their work was often discolored by sec tarianism had given grounds for this CHRIST FOR MEXICO [Continued from page 459]

It was not until the very oppo sition of the Government obliged the missions to cooperate more fully with one another and to go into non-secta rian lines of service such as rescue work in the slums, visitation of prisoners and ministering to the spiritual needs of the soldiers, that officials began to see that the true spirit of evangelical Christian ity is one of service and not of proselyt ing for the advantage of an organiza tion. The Bible for the Masses Coupled with these changes on the part of the evangelical missions came, a few years ago, the introduction of a new group of Christian workers.* It was a group which no denomination had sent out and which consequently had no sectarian finalities. It was a pioneering group which proposed to combine science and service among the Indian tribes back in mountain fastnesses— exactly where the Government wanted enlightening i .fluences to go. It did not seek to carry out some program of its own in welfare or educational endeavor, hut simply offered to help in the Gov ernment’s own program which fortu nately is a very progressive one.
