638 T HE K I N G ’S B U S I N E S S (12) The Personal, Premillennial Return of our Lord Jesus Christ to take the sceptre and to rule in His prophesied kingdom. To these fundamental doctrines we bow our will and pledge our un wavering fidelity while it pleaseth Him, whose we are and whom we serve, to give us breath. There are many good people who take issue with us concerning the need .of any doctrinal statement of faith, but they are very illogical. Most of them demand and affirm their faith in some political doctrine and give of their time and means for the dissemination of their belief. ' In a matter affecting, as it does, the honor and glory of God and the eternal destinies of men, how foolish, how trifling, it is to assume an indif ferent attitude as to one’s belief. Thank God for the Fathers whom God raised up, whose red blood tingled with the fire of devotion in defense of the great doctrines of the Bible, and to whose untiring zeal, under God, we are indebted for this country of ours. T. C. H. Bryan Blasts Evolution. William Jennings Bryan'may not be popular with everybody down here, but he will certainly be popular with the Lord because of a recent % statement made in Springfield, Illinois, on May 2, when he paid his respects to the evolutionists in our schools and declared that the teaching of this doctrine was one of the greatest problems with which our country has to grapple. .He said: “Teachers and professors In schools, supported by public money, are turning! the youth of the land but into a starless night, robbing them of their faith in im mortality and a Heavenly Father, and substituting cold, clammy materialism which reduces Christ to mere man, and gives him an ape for an ancestor. The, Darwinian theory is not scientific. It is wilder fiction than the Arabian nights.” This would be an appropriate message to read in all of our grade schools, high schools, colleges and seminaries, and would not be amiss in many of our churches. It has always been a mystery to us how a theory such as that of evolu tion,—which never had any foundation but was hung on air by Brother Darwin who loved to think of his ancestors hanging by ,their tails to the branches of trees, talking in an unknown language to their fellow citizens while cracking nuts and jokes,—could have found such a foothold in the minds of supposedly intelligent people. No wonder that Paul says, by the power of the Spirit, that the “ wisdom of men is foolishness with God.” We wonder if this is one of the things over which the Scripture says “ He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh?” (Psa. 2:4.) ..$!&. m n TT g&y 1 • JPg Gushing Gordon. Almost, every day we are moved to exclaim, “ Well,.what next?” To day it is a new tract published and thrown upon the market by Rev. Dr. James L. Gordon, pastor of the First Congregational Church of San Fran cisco (which city, by the way, has fostered a number of queer children). Some of the doctors seem to be competing with each other in these days for first place on the brainless bench, but Dr. Gordon has out-doctored them all.
