“Do Fundamentalists Understand
The Bible?"
By W. C. CARTER l
I must, in justice to myself and
the millions of earnest, enthusiastic,
patient searchers after the truth as
it is unfolded in the Bible, return a
negative answer to Dr. C. B. Wilmer.
Fundameltalists do not understand
the Bible. This is evident from the
fact that the Bible is the Word of
God and, as such, is the Book for
the soul, the soul with its well-nigh
illimitable capacity for the acquisi
tion of spiritual knowledge and the
apprehension of the Infinite One in
Nature and Revelation. The prophet
Isaiah, one of the most eloquent, and
one of the most gifted
alists of the prophetic era, and whose
lips had been touched by a seraph
with a live coal from off the altar,
said, “For since the beginning of the
world men have not heard nor per
ceived by the ear, neither hath the
eye seen, 0 God, beside Thee, what
he hath prepared for him that wait
eth for him. Saint Paul the peerless
and the most eloquent Fundamental¬
ist preacher of the New Testament,
says, For I determined not to know
anything among you, save Jesus
Christ and Him crucified. . . And my
speech and my preaching was not
with enticing words of man’s wisdom,
but in demonstration of the Spirit
and of power; that your faith should
not stand in the wisdom of men, but
in the power of God.’
That which is purely conjectural,
the offspring of a distorted mind and
a corrupt heart, is devoid of script
ural authority, constitutes no part
of the Bible, and is considered'by all
Fundamentalists as entirely apochry
phal. Hear what St. Paul, the noted
evangelist of the New Testament
says: “But as it is written, Eye hath
not seen, nor ear heard, neither have
entered into the heart of man the
things which God hatli prepared for
them that love Him.” Therefore, I
must say, Dr. Wilmer, Fundamental¬
ists do not understand the Bible; yet,

like Paul the faithful, and one of the
most valiant soldiers of the Cross,
they are pressing forward toward the
mark'for the prize of the high calling
of God as it is in Christ Jesus.” Can
you beat that? They are laying aside
every weight, and the sin which doth
so easily beset them, and are running
with patience the race that is set
before them looking unto Jesus the
author and the finisher of their faith.”
Their invitation is, “Come thou with
us, and we will do thee good: for the
Lord hath spoken good concerning
Israel.”
Under the leadership and the
tutelege of the great Head of the
Church, Fundamentalists are study
ing the Bible, are praying for “the
wisdom which cometh from above,"
and for "the charity which hopeth
' all things, and endureth all things.”
Possessing the Spirit of the Master,
they “offer themselves a living sac
rifice unto Him which is but their
reasonable service.” Yet these same
pure, faithful, consecrated, intelligent
Christians “Count not themselves to
have apprehended” the Truth in its
unmeasurable fullness. Life is far
too short for them in their pilgrim
state to run the entire curriculum of
Divine Inspiration, and sound the
great Ocean of God’s super abound
ing grace and infinite love. Funda
mentalists have not finished the
written Word. They are daily feed
ing on its heavenly manna, and are
rejoicing in the future epiphany of
the risen Christ who will come again
and receive them unto Himself.
ed from a scriptural standpoint, it
is clearly evident that, we are making
commendable progress in this age of
marked apostasy when so many are
departing from the faith, and giving
heed to seducing spirits and doctrines
of devils,
Niagara Falls Is
Committing Suicide
(BY LOUIS LUDLOW)
Washington— Niagara Falls is
rapidly “committing suicide.”
That is understood to be the view¬
point of Herbert Hoover, Secretary
of Commerce, who is an engineer
and has devoted considerable study
to the situation. With steadily in
creasing rapidity, according to the
opinion attributed to the Secretary of
Commerce, the rushing water is
wearing away the cut or v-shaped
rock formation in about the center
of the falls and as this is gradually
deepened, the width of the falls is
naturally diminished. This process, it
is declared, has now reached a stage
where it is constantly increasing and
unless remedial action is soon taken,
much of the scenic beauty of Ni
agara may disappear within a period
of some 30 years.
Because of the belief that the Ni¬
agara waters are rapidly impairing
the secenic beauty of the famous falls,
it is learned in an administration
quarter, this government, which is
now waiting for a report on the
boundary river waters before consid¬
ering a revision of the treaty govern¬
ing the diversion of water at Niagara
Falls, probably will not move toward
that end until assurances are obtain
ed that something will be done to
check the possible loss of the secenic
attraction there.
Some engineers estimate that up to
80,000 cubic second feet of water can
be diverted from Niagara river with¬
out impairing the secenic beauty of
the falls. Notwithstanding this claim,
however, the advice of the govern
ment authorities is that before any
diversion in excess of the present 56,-
500 feet is sanctioned, remedial
works should be built.
Construction of these to save the
falls, in the opinion of the govern
ment experts, would be a simple en
gineering undertaking and would re
store the full beauty of this natural
wonder which year by year is being
adversely affected by the increase in
the notch or cut that is being eaten
away faster and faster by the pres¬
sure and action of the water.
Considerable discussion of this sub
ject, at any rate, is forecast when
ever the negotiations between Cana
da and the United States over the
treaty governing the diversion of
water at Niagara get well under way.
By the faith that the wild-flowers
show, when they bloom unbidden, ■
By the calm of a river’s flow, to a
goal that is hidden,
By the courage of birds’ light wings,
on the long migration;
(Wonderful spirit of trust, that
abides in Nature’s breast)
Teach me how to confide, and live
my life, and rest. —Van Dyke.
EIGHT NEW FACULTY MEMBERS I
VALDOSTA WOMANS COLLEGE
Valdosta, Ga., Sept. 22.—With the
opening of the Georgia State Wo¬
mans College here eight new faculty
members have reported, two of these j
filling full professorships newly cre¬
ated. The faculty this year is thus
substantially strengthened over that
of last year or any previous year.
The new members of the faculty are:
Prof. Josiah Crudup, Jr., graduate of
Mercer University and Peabody Col¬
lege for teachers, who is head of the
Department of Physics; Prof. James
W. Patton, a Phi Beta Pappa gradu¬
ate of Vanderbilt and the University
of North Carolina, who is head of
the Department of History and So¬
cial Science; Miss Louise Sawyer,

capacity of the building. , This n i condi
tion has made possible further se
lection of the students, those accept
ed being required to present good
high school records. Dr. Powell, pres¬
ident of the college, points out that
the selection of students in this way
will undoubtedly result in a stronger
personnel of the student body.
