A fine company of speakers will be heard. Among them Dr. Newell, President Buswell and Revs. Fox, Hildebrand, Fields, McCarrell, Stumpf and Miss Saxe. Secretary Stumpf is doing fine things in Illinois. He keeps the interest alive and the Cause growing. THE ORGANIZATION OF THE MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD INSTITUTIONS It is currently reported that two eastern Baptist training schools— one eastern theological seminary and one middle-west theological seminary, all of which were founded in the name of fundamentalism, their funds secured on the special plea of stand­ ing for the old faith, are now about to form a union, and it is equally current that the reasons for this union are the fact that these four institutions fellowship neither fundamentalism on the one side, nor modernism on the other, but stand on some mid­ way ground. Three of them are distinctly Baptist institutions, and if the people who gave the money to make them possible knew that they were already standing on middle ground, it would certainly disturb the serenity of their graves. Such is the power of modernism in this present age! Miss Lavinia Mead, the great woman who built up the Baptist Mission School at Sendai, Japan, and later the equally important one at Osaka, has been retired from the mission field on account of age. Her place is taken by Miss Evalyn Camp, a graduate of the State University and of the Northwestern Bible School. Miss Mead is quietly resting in Minneapolis, where her many friends are delighted at the opportunity of her fellowship. Miss Ann Kludt, another graduate of the Northwestern Bible School, is now associated with Miss Camp in the Osaka work, and of her Miss Camp writes: “Ann Kludt has become indispensable to our Baptist work in Japan and is held in very high respect by all the members of the mission. She has done a splendid work at the Tabernacle in Tokyo.” It is good to get such reports from our graduates on foreign fields. IN SCHOOL AND CHURCH 5 FUNDAMENTALISM ON THE PACIFIC COAST During the editor’s vacation in August, he spent a good portion of his time on the Pacific coast. At Los Angeles he made his headquarters, as usual, in the Mens’ Hall of the Los Angeles Bible Institute. This always brings one into touch with the work at that great center. On the day of our arrival in Los Angeles, we were privi­ leged to dine with Daddy Horton, the founder of the great Insti­ tute ; Dr. Chas. E. Hurlburt, the newly elected superintendent of the Institute, and Mr. Hale, his first assistant. We feel like extending our congratulations on the choice of Dr. Hurlburt to this high office. The Bible Institute of Los Angeles is a great institution, with perhaps the most extensive, permanent and perfectly appointed plant known to any Bible Institute in the world. Dr. Hurlburt, so long associated with one of the greatest and most successful of .our faith missions, is one of those rare men that God uses in the execution of His divinely planned pro­ grams, and it would seem that the long waiting of the Institute since Dr. T. C. Horton’s resignation has finally resulted in a wise choice. The Church of the Open Door, located in the Institute, is still without a pastor. On Aug. 8th Dr. Harrison of St. Louis was the speaker morning and night, with Dr. Carter of London, England, in the afternoon. This church is worthy its name. It is an “Open Door.” We trust it is a door that the Lord Himself has opened and no man can shut, and that an equally wise deci­ sion will be made when Dr. R. A. Torrey’s successor is finally elected. Our Sunday in this vicinity w'e spent with our son, Mason Hewitt Riley, a foreman on the Santa Fe Rancho. It was one of the few Sundays of a lifetime, aside from the period of our seri­ ous illness two years since, when we were not preaching. Rev. Paul Rood, at Turlock, California, we visited for two days. His work in that comparatively small city takes on enor­ mous proportions, thereby becoming the measure of this man. The purchase by his church of Beulah Park (a magnificent park at the very heart of the city, in the center of which stands a plat­ form, erected against the building, formerly occupied by the city high school) we regard the wisest and most strategic step we have seen any church on all the continent take. The beauties of this park are surpassing and the possibilities of developing a great work at this center are not only engaging, they are allur­ ing; and Paul Rood is the man to realize them! In personality attractive and gracious; as a preacher equally eloquent, whether speaking in Swedish or English, and as an ecclesiastical states­ man, as capable as farseeing. We preached to audiences esti­ mated at 1,500 the first night in Beulah Park, and 2,500 the second night. Rev. Rood’s plans for Beulah Park are a greater 6 CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALS church building than the one he now occupies two blocks away, and a Bible Training School in Northern California. Unless some larger field speedily captures him, he is sure to realize both. From Turlock we moved on to Seattle, spending one delight­ ful day on the journey with our brother and family, Rev. W. L. Riley, pastor of Highland

  • HISTORY and ANALYSIS of the CREATION RESEARCH SOCIETY by William E
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF William E. Elliott for the degree ofMaster of Science in General Science presented on March 1, 1990. Title: History and Analysis of theCreation ltee Society Redacted for Privacy Abstractapproved: The resurgence of creationismthe past few years has been led by advocates of recent-creationism. These individuals, a minority among creationists in general, argue that the entire universe was created approximately 10,000 years ago in one six- day period of time.Recent-creationists support their position by appealing to the Genesis account of creation and scientific data. Their interpretation of Genesis is based on the doctrines of conservative, evangelical Christianity. Their interpretation of scientific data is informed by their theological presuppositions. The scientific side of recent-creationism is supported by several organizations, most of which had their origin in one group, the Creation Research Society. The CRS is a major factor in the rise of the modern creationist movement. Founded in 1963, this small (c. 2000 mem- bers) group claims to be a bona-fide scientific society engaged in valid scientific re- search conducted from a recent-creationist perspective. These claims are analyzed and evaluated. The Society's history is discussed, including antecedent creationist groups. Most of the group's founders were members of the American Scientific Affiliation, and their rejection of changes within the ASA was a significant motivating factor in founding the CRS. The organization, functioning, and finances of the Society are de- tailed with special emphasis on the group's struggles for independence and credibility. founding the CRS.

Webb FEATURES 43 Book Review 45 Letters to the Editor LICENSED TO UNZ.ORG ELECTRONIC REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED About this issue ... In this issue, Tom Mclver again brings his historical scholarship to bear on an issue relevant to creationism. This time, he explores the history of and the major players in the development and promotion of the "gap theory." Rarely do we treat in detail alternative creationist theories, preferring instead to focus upon the young- Earth special creationists who are so politically militant regarding public educa- tion. However, coverage of different creationist views is necessary from time to time in order to provide perspective and balance for those involved in the controversy. The second article compares scripture to the doctrines of young-Earth special crea- tionists and finds important disparities. Author Stanley Rice convincingly shows that "scientific" creationists add their own imaginative ideas in an effort to pseudoscientifically "flesh out" scripture. But why do so many people accept creationist notions? Some have maintained that the answer may be found through the study of demographics. George E. Webb explores that possibility in "Demographic Change and Antievolution Sentiment" and comes to some interesting conclusions.

Montgomery, Quaternary Research Center and Dept. of (354–413), Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274), and John Calvin (1509– Earth and Space Sciences, Box 351310, University of Washington, 1564) all endorsed reason as the way to learn about the world. Seattle, Washington 98195-1310, USA, [email protected] Augustine was among the first to caution against advocating for biblical interpretations that conflicted with what one could I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed observe for oneself. Centuries later, Aquinas praised the pursuit of us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forego their knowledge and insight gained from experience reading God’s use. —Galileo Galilei other book—nature. Writing at the time of the Reformation, Calvin, too, considered ABSTRACT the revelations of both nature and the Bible as fundamental truths. In his Institutes of the Christian Religion (1559), Calvin For centuries, natural philosophers, their scientific successors, explicitly embraced the idea of respecting natural truths revealed and theologians alike sought to explain the physical and natural through the study of nature: “If we regard the Spirit of God as the world. The now common cultural narrative of perpetual conflict sole fountain of truth, we shall neither reject the truth itself, nor between science and religion simplifies the arguments and despise it wherever it shall appear, unless we wish to dishonor the struggles of the past and overlooks cross-pollination between Spirit of God” (McNeill, ed., 1960, p. 273–274). those who embraced faith and reason as the keys to understanding Calvin believed in keeping an open mind when it came to earth history.

  • Scientific Creationism and Intelligent Design
    6 Scientifi c creationism and intelligent design Ronald L. Numbers For the past century and a half no issue has dominated discussions of science and religion more than evolution. Indeed, many people see the creation–evolution debates as the central issue in the continuing con- troversy. And for good reason. More than a century after the scientifi c community had embraced organic evolution, many laypersons con- tinued to scorn the notion of common descent. In the United States, where polls since the early 1980s have shown a steady 44–47 per cent of Americans subscribing to the statement that ‘God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so’, nearly two-thirds (65.5 per cent), including 63 per cent of college graduates, according to a 2005 Gallup poll, regarded cre- ationism as defi nitely or probably true. 1 As we shall see, such ideas have been spreading around the world. CREATION AND CREATIONISM In 1929 an obscure biology teacher at a small church college in north- ern California self-published a book entitled Back to Creationism . This brief work, appearing just as the American anti-evolution movement of the 1920s was winding down, attracted little attention. And it would deserve scant mention today except for the fact that it was one of the fi rst books to use the term ‘creationism’ in its title. Until well into the twentieth century critics of evolution tended to identify themselves as anti-evolutionists rather than creationists. 2 Three factors help to explain this practice.

Darwin’s theory of organic evolution stood in sharp contrast with the Genesis account of creation, with its six days, separate creations of life forms, and special creation of human beings. More than this, Darwin’s ideas raised enormous theological questions about God’s role in creation (e.g., is there a role for God in organic evolution?) and about the nature of human beings (e.g., what does it mean to talk about original sin without a historic Adam and Eve?) Of course, what really made Darwin so challenging was that by the late nineteenth century his theory of organic evolution was the scientific consensus.

  • Jonah: Dead Or Alive? by Dr
    Jonah: Dead or Alive? by Dr. J. Vernon McGee Published and distributed by Thru the Bible Radio Network P.O. Box 7100 Pasadena, California 91109-7100 (800) 65-BIBLE www.ttb.org Scripture references are from the New King James Version Bible. (This message is also included in the hardback book, More Real Characters, Copyright 1997 by J. Vernon McGee.) 1 PART 1 Passage to Tarshish Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. But the LORD sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken up. Then the mariners were afraid; and every man cried out to his god, and threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten the load. But Jonah had gone down into the lowest parts of the ship, had lain down, and was fast asleep. (Jonah 1:1-5) The little Book of Jonah is one to which I have given a great deal of attention. When I was in seminary, the higher critics leveled their guns against the Book of Jonah more than against any other book in the Bible.

  • The Impact of Anti-Communism on the Development of Marxist Historical Analysis Within the Historical Profession of the United States, 1940-1960
    BUILDING THE ABSENT ARGUMENT: THE IMPACT OF ANTI-COMMUNISM ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF MARXIST HISTORICAL ANALYSIS WITHIN THE HISTORICAL PROFESSION OF THE UNITED STATES, 1940-1960 Gary Cirelli A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2010 Committee: Dr. Douglas J. Forsyth, Advisor Dr. Don K. Rowney Dr. Timothy Messer-Kruse © 2010 Gary Cirelli All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Douglas Forsyth, Advisor This study poses the question as to why Marxism never developed in the United States as a method of historical analysis until the mid-1960s. In this regard, the only publication attempting to fully address this question was Ian Tyrrell’s book The Absent Marx: Class Analysis and Liberal History in Twentieth-Century America, in which he argued that the lack of Marxist historical analysis is only understood after one examines the internal development of the profession. This internalist argument is incomplete, however, because it downplays the important impact external factors could have had on the development of Marxism within the profession. Keeping this in mind, the purpose of this study is to construct a new argument that takes into account both the internal and external pressures faced by historians practicing Marxism preceding the 1960s. With Tyrrell as a launching pad, it first uses extensive secondary source material in order to construct a framework that takes into account the political and social climate prior to 1960. Highlighting the fact that Marxism was synonymous with Communism in the minds of many, it then examines the ways in which the government tried to suppress Communism and the impact this had on the academy.
