with DR.. F. E. Clark, the founder of the
Christian EndeavOr movement, who re-
Gently toured Great Britain. In his in
PRODUCTION to this interview the editor
gives the following estimate of Christian
Endeavor:
ut is a matter of common agreement
that one test Of a truth is that it is
universal. Faith Is faith in India and
in Labrador: hope is hope in the new
world and the Old aud charity is the
grea test of these. whether it is found at
the equator or the desolate regions of the
north. Even so the test of an organiza-
ton is this: Is it a temporary eXpedlent
that meets some local need, or is 1t ade-
quate to meet a universal need? Such
a test is repeatedly being applied to
Christian Endeavor. happily with advan-
tase to the movement for few institutions
are so free and flexible and have gathered
such strength and influence with the pass
ing of the years.

A21 Why and how did the councils
settle the canon of sacred scripture:
What right had they to Go 1t?
Answer During tie second. third ana
fourth centuries of our era there were
MANY discussions on the subject OF doc
trine. These grew out OF the attempt
TO adjust Christianity to philosophy ana
Judaism causing sects, as ebionitlsm,
enosticism, manicheism and Ar1anism-
IT became necessary TO establish some
common standard of belief, and hence II
was agreed that the writings of the
apostles should alone b. authoritative.
The tventy-seven books OF the New Tes-
lament as we now have IL. were named
and all appeals We're referred to what
was written therein. In selecting these ft
became necessary to reject other writ
ings. soma Of which were of doubtful
origin evidently put forth to defend some
position. It was simply an agreement to
make the books of the apostles authori-
tative as against all other literature. The
value of that agreement cannot be est
mated 1t set forth a principle and method
for all subsequent centuries. the only
basis for doctrines. Whatever can he
proved by the New Testament thu apos-
tolic writings. and that only, may be re-
ceived by all the followers 90 Christ.
Surely the APOSTLES ought to know bet
ter than any others what was the teach
ing of their master. Evidently they wrote
