it to you upon the altar to make an
Atonement for your souls" Oeviticus
xvii, III He said
All the trend of religious scholarship
in recent years is away from the Bible
and in line with the Evolution theory.
The Bible sets forth that the first man
was created perfect, in the image and
likeness of his Creator, and that when
on trial for life or death everlasting
he was disobedient, and came under
the sentence Of death; and that all
trouble, all sin and sorrow, pain and
death, for the past six thousand years,
is the penalty, the result, of that fall
from obedience and harmony with
God. The Bible teaches the necessity
for an Atonement for sin, and this les
son was shown in the typical sacrifices
of bullocks and goats, which lsraelites
for centuries commemorated, especial
ly upon their Atonement Day, at the
beginning of each year.
The Bible and Evolution Opposed.
Evolution claims that man started
as a cousin to the monkey, and that
instead of falling into sin and death,
an evolution process has been bring
ing him up, up, up to his present high
elevation. This theory, having no
place for sin or a fall, finds, of course,
no place or need for a recovery,
through a Redeemer, a Savior The
two theories are absolutely opposed.
Whoever believes the Darwinian the
DRY cannot, logically, be a Christian.
Whoever is a Christian cannot, logical
ly, hold to the Darwin theory. And
yet the pulpits of Christendo1n are well
stocked with Higher Critics and Evo-
lutionists, and all of our colleges and
theological seminaries are graduating
others, all antagonistic to the Bible
and its presentations. For years the
fight has been conducted on the quiet.
The unbelievers hold the best and
most influential pulpits and professor
ships In Christendom, and insidiously,
craftily, undermine the faith of those
who are paying them their salaries.

truth and error should come out into
the open, because the majority of those
who are being misled do not realize
the situation until their faith is entirely
undermined-until their minds are so
entrenched In error that the verities
Of Gods Word, including the words Of
Jesus and the Apostles, have passed
with them into the list of absurdities,
amongst these, the stories # ; nah
and the whale, Noah and the fl. ETC.,
endorsed by Jesus and the Apostles.
Higher Criticism Means Higher Inf
deity.
Today every college, every theolog-
ical seminary throughout the whole
civilized world, is teaching what Is
commonly known as Higher Criticism
Of the Bible though the proper name
for 1t would be higher infdeltty-in-
fidelity amongst the high ones Of all
Christendom. These Higher Critics
are doing the same work exactly that
Thomas Paine and Robert Ingersoll
did, only that they are carrying on
their work on a higher plane-appeal-
ing not to the gross and the vile, but
to the refined, intelligent and truth
seeking. AS a result their influence
is a thousand fold more injurious.
Those to whom Paine and Ingersoll ap-
peaied were very rarely Christians at
all; hence they destroyed very little
fsith-they merely made the unbelief
more rank and foul.
But these Higher Critic infdels of
this "evil day. are making use of all
the vast machinery of Christendom in
all denominations, especially through
theological seminaries, to undermine
and overthrow the faith of all WHO
have named the name of Christ, great
and small, rich and poor, cultured and
ignorant. 1t IS being done systematic
ally, too, craftily, deceitfully, in q
manner that the masses of the people
would scarcely credit. 1t is safe to
say that fully four out of five who
graduate from theological seminaries
Of all denominations are Higher Critic
infidels, who are instructed that their
main business is to promote morality
amongst the people, especially to build
up Churchanity, particularly their own
denomination. and to gradually,
stealthily, craftily wean the people
from the faith of the Bible to their
higher critical dcgmas. And they are
succeeding most wonderfully. A ''pes
thence" is tie only figure of speech
