dom of our Lord, the same sacrificial energy which flowed forth in the past from the convictions of those who have so faithfully followed what is today called the ‘old’ theology, we shall never come to any worthy place among those who follow in the train of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Even so. Note again what he has to say about the fruits of the “old” theology. If his own judgment is correct, as herein expressed, then, indeed, the adherents of his theology will never “come to any worthy place among those who follow in the train of our Lord Jesus Christ.” The Barrenness of Modernism Infidelity is barren. It has promoted very few philan thropic enterprises; it has no helpful literature and no inspiring art; and those whose theology approaches it pre pare the way for its ,dearth of the kindly, the comforting, the purifying, the helpful service of mankind. The outcome of the “blood religion” has always been and still remains the very reverse. It alone has transformed the world. It has provided all the great Christian agencies— foreign mis sions, the best and greatest of them all. It founded the Bible societies of our own and other lands, the American Tract Society, the Sunday School Union, the Young Men’s and Young Women’s Christian Associations, and institutions of like nature with more restricted influence, such as hos pitals, dispensaries, asylums, homes for the aged, and societies for the relief of the poor. Nearly all of our Amer ican colleges, previous to the coming of the state universi ties, were organized by men of the “blood religion.” Its literature is most extensive and includes all our great hymns. The two books which have had the widest circula tion, the Bible of course excepted, Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progressi and Thomas a Kempis’ Imitation of Christ, were written by “blood religion” men. The great paintings were produced by them, the great cathedrals, the great oratorios. All this and much more. And beyond all, the millions of men and women reclaimed from their sins and led into sweet, pure, unselfish lives—-martyrs, confessors, mission aries, reformers, and thousands unknown to fame-if-these are the fruit of, as they are the irrefutable argument for, the “blood religion.” And be assured it will continue to be so. For a time, perhaps, those who have departed from its company will continue to steal its livery and attempt to justify their vagaries by the fruit which they did not produce; they will even continue to derive their support from agencies which it has established; but in due season their folly will be;“evi- dent unto all men,” as was that of Jannes and Jambres who withstood Moses (2 Tim. 3:8).
