of course. If it had been a man—
well, no man has ever started such

ENDORSES CO-OPERATIVE
PROGRAM

the co-operative plan for the support
of all Its missionary, educational and
benevolent work and named a Com
mission on the Co-operative Program
which will seek to enlist all the Bap
tist churches of the South in the reg
ular, systematic support of home,
state and foreign missions, ministe
rial relief and Baptist schools, hos
pitals and orphanages. Churches not
already supporting all these enter
prises through weekly contributions
are Invited to assume such support
at once. The Convention endorsed
the plan of the Commission discour
aging independent appeals to churches
and individuals on the part of special
denominational interests, urging all
of them to look to the Co-operative
Program for their support and asking
all the churches to support the Pro
gram.
STAND BY THE OLD BIBLE
That the world may know where ;
Southern Baptists stand upon the j
great fundamental Christian doc
trines. many of which are being as
sailed today, the convention adopted
a statement of the Baptist faith and
message, in which attacks upon the
Inspiration and authority of the Bible
and the divinity of Christ were vig
orously refuted.
Here are some of the leading
declarations in the statement as it
was adopted:
THE SCRIPTURES
“We believe that the Holy Bible
was written by men divinely in
spired and is a perfect treasure of
heavenly instruction; that it has God
'or Its author, salvation for Its end,
and truth, without any mixture of
error, for Its matter; that It reveals
the principles by which God will
Judge us, and therefore is, and will
remain to the end of the world, the
Lfue center of Christian union, and
I the supreme standard by which all
I human conduct, creeds and religious
i opinions should be tried.”
THE FALL OF MAN
1 "Man was created by the special
act of God as recorded in Genesis
I 'So God created man in his own im
>l age, in the image of God created he
.him; male and female created he
I them ’ (Gen 1:27). And the Lord God
, formed man out of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life; and man became a
living soul,’ (Gen. 2:7). He was cre
i* uted in a state of holiness under the
law of hie maker but through the
temptation of Satan he transgressed
the command of God and fell from
his original holiness and righteous
ness; whereby his posterity Inherit
a nature corrupt and in bondage to
sin, are under condemnation, and as
soon as they are capable of moral
action, become actual transgressors.”
THE WAY OF SALVATION
“Salvation of sinners is wholly of
Igraoe, through the mediatorial office
of the Boa of God, who by the Holy
.’Spirit was born of tha Virgin Mary
aad took upon him our nature, yet
without sin; honored the divine law
by Ms paredaal obedience, and made
atonement for our sins by his death.
Being risen from the dead he Is now
enthroned in heaven and uniting in
his person the tenderest sympathies
with divine perfections, he is in every
way qualified to be a compassionate
and all-sufficient Savior.”
CO-OPERATION
“Christ’s people should, as occasion
requires, organise such associations
and conventions as may best secure
co-operation for the great objects of
the Kingdom of God. Such organiza
tions have no authority over each
other or over the churches. They are
voluntary and advisory bodies design
ed to elicit, combine and direct the
enegries of our people In the most ef
fective manner. Individual members
of New Testament churches should
co-operate with each other, and the
churches themselves should co-oper
ate with each other In carrying for
ward the missionary, educational and
benevolent program for the extension
of Christ's Kingdom. Christian unity
in the New Testament sense is spirit
ual harmony and voluntary co-opera
tion for common ends by various
groups of Christ's people. It is per
missible and desirable as between the
various Christian denominations, when
the end to be attained Is Itself Justi
fied, and when such co-operation in
volves no violation of conscience or
compromise of loyalty to Christ and
His Word as revealed in the New
Testament."
STEWARDSHIP
“God is the source of all blessings,
temporal and spiritual; all that we
have and are we owe to Him. We
have a spiritual debtorshlp to the
whole world, a holy trusteeship In the
Gospel, and a binding stewardship in
our possessions. We are therefore
under obligation to serve Him with
our time, talents and material posses
sions; and should recognize all these
as preaching the Gospel of Christ,
and of God and helping others. Chris
tians should cheerfully, regularly, sys
tematically, proportionately and lib
erally contribute of their means to
advancing the Redeemer's cause on
earth.”
EVOLUTION IS DENOUNCED
To the statement of faith proper
the Convention added a declaration
upon the relation of science and re-
J gfon in which the theory of evolution
was denounced Referring to evolu
tion the statement, says:
“Its best exponents admit that
the causes of the origin of species
have not been traced, nor has any
proof been forthcoming that man
is not the direct creation of God as
recorded in Genesis. We protest
against imposition of this theory of
evolution upon the minds of our
children in denominational or public
schools as if it were a. definite and
established truth of science. We in
sist that this and all other theories
be dealt with In a truly scientific
way, that Is, in careful conformity to
established facts.
“We record again our unwavering
adherence to the supernatural ele
ments in the Christian religion. The
Bible is God’s revelation of himself
through men moved by the Holy
Spirit, and is our sufficient, certain
and authoritative guide in religion.
Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin
Mary, through the power of the Holy
Spirit. He was the divine and eternal
Son of God. He wrought miracles,
healing the sick, casting out demons,
raising the dead. He died as the
vicarious, atoning Savior of the world
and was buried. He arose again
from the dead. The tomb was emp
tied of its contents. In his risen
body he appeared many times to his
disciples He ascended to the right
hand of the Father. He will come
again in person, the same Jesus who
ascended from the Mount of Olives.
“We believe that adherence to the
above truths and facts is a necessary
condition of service for teachers 14
our Baptist schools.”
