THE K I N G ’S BUS I NES S states that religious authorities in other well known institutions are with him. No doubt something of this kind will soon be brought forth. It is fully in line with the predicted apostasy. If we had the chance, we would cast our vote for Prof. Budweiser (beg pardon— Breitweiser) for president of the Society of Undesirable Preachers. |I§ j& GIVE ME THY BEST “Give me thy best,” the Master said to me, “Give all thou hast and all thou a rt to be. “Nor fear to give, I will sustain thy need.” . Then it was morning and I did not heed. Again the Master stooped to seek my face, And then I marvelled a t His wondrous grace, And made for Him a place within my heart. He asked for all—I gave a meagre part. I toiled for Him, nor grudged the time I spent. I taught His love, not knowing what it meant. And still He poured rich gifts upon the soul, That selfish still, resented His control. And then in love He took my treasures rare, And one by one fell hope and castle fair Till naked and ashamed I sought His face. And yielded Him a t last His rightful place. —Frances T. Reid, a B. I.

The emphasis is on “social evangelism” —“sane evangelism”—“up-to-date evan gelism,” etc. Is this not an attempt to becloud the issue th a t has been raised in the denominations by the “Funda mentalists?” Many people might be led to think, because Of all the talk about evangelism, th a t these leaders, after all, were not so far from the faith. If we’re going in for revivals, let’s have the kind th a t come from heaven. Declaring that both the Old and New Testaments have outworn their lessons and th a t scholars the world over agree in realizing their inadequacy, Prof. Breit- weiser (the name is suggestive) of the University of California, is advocating a new Bible which would contain the spir itual insights from all sources, including the Koran and Buddhistic teachings.
