Two Thrilling Testimonies Testimonies from a London slum boy and an ex-convict formed an unusual feature of one session of the World’s Fundamental Convention. The "slum boy,” John Lanahan by name, now a college student, preparatory to going to South America as a mis sionary, told of his disillusionment regarding college life because of the modernistic and evolutionary teaching which made it difficult for a “ poor; green freshman” to hold his fundamental beliefs. Then came "Ed.” Clark, a man of powerful physique, who told, with dramatic simplicity, of his conversion in a U. S. penitentiary, "spirit, soul ail'd body,” and of his founding of the now famous City Mission ,in Buffalo, above which shines out an electrically lighted foot cross. Mr. Clark declared that not a single Modernist had any part in his mission. "I wouldn’t let ’em in,” Jie declared, and then told of case after case of men, now in influential positions, who had been rescued by the City Mission from degradation. Modernism in Missions Dr. Arthur H. Carter, of Hounslow, England, editor of “ The Bible Witness,” brought 'the charge of Modernism among the missionaries in the foreign field. He said the thinking Hindus and Chinese were asking what was the difference between the Christian religion as presented to them by the Modernists, and •their own. In China, Dr. Carter asserted, a proposal had actually been made by the National Christian Council to get out a new Bible which would include extracts from Confucius and other pagan religious writers. This condition of affairs has a degenerating effect upon the missionaries themselves, many of whom have more regard- for the sportsman’s gun and the tennis racket than for the preaching of the Gospel; and, indeed, they have no Gospel to preach, but think only of educating the natives. Dr. T. T. Shields, also, made a vigorous onslaught upon the Baptist Home Mission Board, and said he was weary of hearing of those pastors who were "afraid of the denom inational organization,” exhorting them that if they would “ stand by the truth they could defy hell itself.” Bryan Foundation for Christian Fundamentalist Education “ I have reached the conclusion that the most efficient method to advance Christian Fundamentals and combat Modernism is to provide Christian Fundamentalist schools throughout the United States and Canada, so that every boy and girl may have the opportunity of getting an education —-especially a higher education— in such a school,” was the statement made by President James S. Luckey, of Houghton
