Dr. R. A. Hadden is the national head of this movement which is incor porated and has its national headquar ters in Los Angeles. The League has spread millions of copies of a chart called “The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error” over the world, and is putting out the very best literature for the purpose of meeting the false religi ous cults. Its work is definite, and gifts of money will bh conscientiously and carefully invested in printed matter which is known to bring results. Under the auspices of 1 this League well known Bible teachers are sent out upon invi tation of the churches, for Bible con ferences in which the fundamental doc trines are presented. The churches holding such conferences are presented with literature racks and literature meeting the false teachings. This is the original Fundamentals League, holding copyrights on the Spirit of Truth Chart and other literature that • has been greatly blessed of God in meeting the cults. It is incorporated in several states and has no other national head quarters than in Los Angeles. NO USE FOR IMITATIONS A very mean man joined the church, and people thought it might make him liberal, so one of the elders called on him for a small contribution. He heard him through, and then responded, “I’ll tell you What it is, Brother A., if I find my religion genuine, I will pay Brother D. a dollar the next .time he comes; but I don’t like to pay money for an article before I know it’s all right.” CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALS LEAGUE
