I believe accord ing to I I John 10 and 11.” A. This is a wonderful passage of Scripture which we would commend for further study. We are in deep sympathy with this individual in op position to giving the Lord’s money to support any apostate religious leader. Biola, of course, has no affilia tion whatsoever with the National Council of Churches. We are dia metrically opposed to this religious system and hierarchy as well as to the so-called ecumenical movement. If Christians would withhold their support of such practices, they could soon bring their modernistic, liberal- istic heretical views into closer scru tiny. Do not give to help pay these ungodly men.
family if your manner of life is as it should be (I Pet. 3:1-7.) Do not offend them by insisting that every one has to give in to your particular desires, even though they are worthy.

We believe there is ample Scriptural ground to state that any children who have not reached the so-called “age of accountability” where they can discern the way of salvation are covered by the sov ereign grace of God. On the matter of stillborn or pre mature children, they would certain ly come under the same category as other infants and little children. They have never had a chance to re spond to any kind of impulses in this life in the physical realm. The Bible says that the angels of little ones “do always behold the face of our Father who is in heaven.” Q. Glendale, Calif. — “7 belong to a Bible-believing church which is a f filiated with a denomination having an alliance with the National Coun cil o f Churches.
