the holy birth of our Lord Jesus Christ evinces the grossest possible ignorance 'of the teaching of God’s Word. Their imperious attitude toward the faithful of the flock, suggesting their fancied possession of higher qualities of mind which enable them to discern the weak and wrong construction which has been placed upon the Bible by the fathers, and their own ability to discern what it does and does not mean; their indifference concerning the disastrous results which must follow in the lives of those who listen to their wicked crusade against Christ and are led to be lieve their whimsical, worthless words,—compel us to classify these men with the most subtle enemies of the church and nation. Their culminating crime is their rejoicing over the
A PREPOSTEROUS PROPOSITION In our cartoon we have the statement of a Modern ist, “ The preponderating weight of scholarship is on the side of denial !’’ Now “.scholarship” means “ the sum of mental at tainment of a scholar,” and it does not take a large quantity of mental attainment to deny most anything, but it sometimes takes quite a little mental attainment to prove a thing. The devil denied the authority of God when he said, “ You shall not surely die,” but he lied. Satan had quite a lot of “ mental attainment” but he lost out. The Modernists have failed to prove a single propo sition in their denial of the Word of God. The deniers have been swept into eternity through the ages, but the
divisions which they have made in the evangelical church. The inevitable ef fect is the lowering of the standard of righteousness a n d the sowing of the seed which must re sult in the breaking down of all moral barriers producing the, condition which is sorrowfully re corded in the last verse of the book of Judges: “In those days, there was no king in Israel. Every man did that which was right in his own eyes. ’’ The Fundamental ists have made no division in the ranks of the evangelical church. They have stood loyally upon the foundation of the faith of our fathers in the inspired, in

The boasters have their place in ;he economy of God, and are spoken of by the Holy Spirit in 2 Tim. 3: 1-5: “This know, also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, c o v e t o u s , boasters, proud, blas phemers, disobedient to parents, unthank ful, unholy, Without natural a f f e c t i o n , truce- breakers, false ac cusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, he ady ,

THE CRIMINAL CONDUCT OF THE CRITICS We cannot evade the growing consciousness that many of the men who so audaciously attack God’s Holy Word have been beguiled by Satan’s snare, through their worldly wisdom, thus making their po sition positively criminal ; or, to put it in milder terms, but with the same meaning, viciously wicked and wrong.

fallible Word of God. They are fighting for the faith once for all delivered. They are defending the Deity of our Lord—the Yirgin-born Son of our God. They are battling for the doctrine of blood atonement as the only solution of the sin question, and the doctrine of the physical resurrection of Jesus. Christ as the un answerable proof of His Lordship. They hold to the positive proof of the promise of His premillennial re turn to reign. Our land is responding to the cry for bread for the starving children of Germany, but what shall we think of those who are seeking to take away the Bread of Life from the hungry, starving souls in our own country ? Is there not an appeal to our consciences that shall move us with compassion for the hungry-hearted peo ple, young and old, who can never know the meaning of rest for their souls until some one shall minister to them the Gospel of God’s grace which alone is sufficient to satisfy the craving for rest and peace?
