YOUNG PEOPLE AND THE BIBLE
lu view oi' tfce sad trend toward socalled "Modefnism" amoiig some young people's organisutioUs We rejoice in tfce definitc pronouncements made by Dr. C. 14. Mowll, presideiit ' of tfce National Sunday Scfcool Dnion, at its Autumnal Convention at Bourne moutfc. "I feel very strongly," be said, "that a great deal of the perplexity oi' modern youth about spiritual tfciugs is due to two things; iirst, that we fcave lost that note of certainty . and authority in our preaehing) and, secondly, that so many of us who profess to be Christians are living inconsisteui lives." "Why do so many preacfcers hedge about the precious Word of God?" be asked. "There is an earnest cali to you and me as we go back from this eonference, to take with us the authoritative Book, whose message we beiieve and proclaim fcuAbly but certainJy, and also to live tfce consistent life xn our liomes, in our offices, and in our churches. The Lord Jesus Cfcrist is the One whom our young people supremeiy need to-day as tfceir persoual Saviour." We fceartily agree witfc Dr. Mowll, and trust that those who control tfce doctrinal teaching of Sunday School literature will take tfcis to heart, and stop bewildering young people witfc the unbelief of modernist criticisni «f the Bible.
