AN ENCOURAGING SIGN
|T is a l w a y s refreshing when one can read something o f an en couraging nature in connection with the religious situation which we find in the land today. Recently a newsletter entitled The Restorer has come to the desk o f the editor. It is a publica tion o f the organization known as "Presbyterian Lay Committee, Inc.” This first newsletter describes the nature o f the organiza tion and the purposes for which it was formed. It is made up o f a "band o f civic leaders long active in the United Presbyterian Church. Most are ruling elders.” The goal o f this committee is set forth to return the church, if God so ordains, from what appears to us to be a growing quest for secular power to its true mission o f preaching redemption. W e seek to enlist the help o f all who share our concern and who are willing to work inside their own churches to this holy end.” The five basic objectives are set forth as follows: " ( 1 ) To enlarge the emphasis on the teaching o f the Bible as the authoritative Word o f God in our seminaries and churches. (2 ) To urge the need for preaching the Gospel o f redemption with evangelical zeal and for regular Bible study and prayer. (3 ) T o encourage ministers and laymen alike, as led by the Ho ly Spirit, to become involved in the social, economic, and political problems o f our time and to assert their position publicly as Christian citizens on all such matters. (4 ) To discourage public pronouncements by the church as a cor porate body on political, social, and economic issues. (5 ) To pro vide an adequate and reliable source o f information for laymen on the issues being proposed for consideration at the General Assembly and other Judicatories in order to enable laymen to express an informal opinion.” This laymen’s organization recog nizes that "teachers in some United Presbyterian seminaries and preachers in some Presbyterian pulpits diminish the Bible by treat ing it as the imperfect work o f imperfect men. They dispute its divine inspiration; thus they throw doubt on the whole o f the Scripture including the virgin birth, the life, and even the exist ence o f Christ, the crucifixion and the resurrection. . . .
