powder that will save posterity from the threatened calam ity! O, Science, what foolishness is uttered in thy name! When we protest against the teaching of this tommyrot by instructors paid by taxation, they accuse us of stifling conscience and interfering with free speech. Not at all; let the atheist think what he pleases and say what he thinks to those who are willing to listen to him, but he cannot rightly demand pay from the taxpayers for teaching their children what they do not want taught. The hand that writes the pay check rules the school. As long as Christians must build Christian colleges in which to teach Christianity, atheists should be required to build their own colleges if they desire to teach atheism. One of the tests of sanity is to put the patient in a tank into which a stream of water is running; he is then instruc ted to dip all the water out. If he does not have sense enough to shut off the inflow he is adjudged insane. What shall we say of Christians who complain of the ravages of atheism and agnosticism among adults and yet continue to allow our colleges, and even our high schools, to be made nurseries of agnosticism and atheism by modernist teach ers who, by endorsing unproven guesses, undermine confi dence in the Bible as a divine authority? A Living Christ Fourth: The modernists’ Christ is still in the grave. Modernists deny the bodily resurrection of the Saviour. They reject entirely the account of the resurrection although it is recited with details in all four of the gospels and is referred to in nearly every-book in the New Testament. This rejection, like the rejection of the virgin birth, the atoning blood, the deity of Christ, and the mir acles performed by Him, is based upon evolution which they have accepted without proof. It is inconsistent with the so-called development theory and cannot, therefore, in their judgment, be true. It is unfortunate that people who make such a boast of open mindedness, as the modernists do, should be so intolerant of substantiated facts, for nothing is more conclusively proven than Christ’s resurrection. Nothing but the resurrection can account for the trans formation that took place in the early Christians. From a timid band, fearful of persecution, they were changed into courageous crusaders. The church which they founded was built upon the Bible Christ— the supernatural Christ; because of this, and only because of this, it has grown until thousands of millions have joyfully taken His name upon them, while many millions have been willing to die rather than surrender the faith that Christ has instilled into their hearts. Jesus has become the “pivot upon which history turns.” His appearance upon earth was the dividing point between the old era and the new— we date time “Before Christ” and “After Christ.” He is the hope of the individual and the hope of the world. Modernism, not Fundamentalism, Divisive And, be it remembered, it is the modernists who have disturbed, and are now disturbing, the harmony of the Christian Church. While the great majority of the mem bers of ail the evangelical churches are loyal to the old faith, worshipping the “Ancient of Days,” trusting the unchangeable Bible and relying for salvation upon a Sav iour who is “the same yesterday, today, and forever,” the modernists are vociferously reiterating the two words that make up their religious vocabulary,
