“ I appreciate STONY BROOK'S Student Achievement” says Richard Hillyer Woodbury, New Jersey The academic program of Stony Brook is arranged to stimulate and help a boy achieve the highest scholastic rating of which he is capable. The School belongs to the Educa tional Records Bureau and makes regular use of its intelligence and objective tests. Various scholastic prizes and membership in the Cum Laude Society, the honorary pre paratory-school scholastic society, furnish mcentives. Stony Brook carefully plans to help each student improve his weaker sub jects without holding back the stronger mem bers of the class, through the use of ability sectioning and regular extra-help sessions. Christian Education at Stony Brook has real meaning. The atmosphere is wholesome without being pious. Boys are urged to live their lives in accordance with the will of God as set forth in Scripture. Bible Study is a major subject and is required of all students throughout tbe entire course. By maintaining a balance between reli gious, academic, and recreational activities, the School aims at a harmony of ■ purpose. By intelligent applica- 4 tion of this Christian program, in | both administration and teach- ing, Stony Brook is making a dis- tinctive contribution to American

(( WHAT IS MODERNISM? ft A part o f the rich heritage which the great reformers gave to Protestantism has been the glorious privilege o f having the open Bible available to every Christian. Taken out o f the cloistered mon- astaries where it was read and interpreted exclusively by the clergy, it reached the laity — the common people. The reformers believed that if the W ord could get into their homes and hearts it o f itself would be "qu ick and powerful” enough to direct the Christian in the way that he should go and make his testimony to the saving and keeping power o f the Lord Jesus Christ effective in the lives o f those with whom he came in contact. And , thank God, this was true. During the centuries which have followed the Reformation period the Bible has become an increasingly major factor in the life and discipline o f the people living in those countries where the W ord of God has been allowed to be sold and read without fear o f molesta tion. However, Satan was not about to give up so easily his hold upon the minds o f men. Over the years he has used various and devious means to bore both from within and without the church o f Jesus Christ in his effort to destroy, or at least weaken, this great bulwark o f the Christian church, namely, belief in the Ho ly Bible as the Word o f God and the only infallible rule o f faith and practice. His method has been to work not on the masses, but rather on the spir itual leaders. To accomplish this, it was necessary for him to reach the very fountainheads o f theological thought in order to train an unbelieving corps o f religious leaders who, in turn, would teach others also their own unbeliefs. Quite successfully this has been accomplished in the majority o f the theological seminaries o f every one o f our major Protestant denominations. In recent years this unbelief has been called by various names and may be found in vary ing degrees, but essentially it is one and the same thing: namely, a denial o f the complete authority o f the W ord o f God. The Bible must stand or fall as a unit. I f one is allowed to elim inate any one portion o f the Bible, some one else may eliminate another, and before long every part o f the Bible is eliminated by one or other and so it ceases to be the norm or the standard o f belief or o f conduct. This unbelief is best expressed by the word modern ism , a diabolically clever word because, quite naturally, everyone wishes to be considered up-to-date in his thinking — not antiquated or reactionary. Modernism cannot be designated as a system for there
