go beyond that and demand q per-
lection in language and perfection on
all scientific questions, we are making
foolish demands and doing the bible
q great injury. So far from destroy
ing the value OF the scriptures, this
recognition Of the human element
makes them more valuable, precious
and understandable. The God Of the
old testament Is not a different God
from the God OF the new. The DIFF
ference Is a difference Of understand
ing and vision On the part of the writ
ers. Some who believe in these recent
changes in religious thought, believe
that the interests of Christ's kingdom
are best erved by remaining silent on
these questions. We might remember
with profit that If all the religious
teachers and preachers Of the past
two centuries had thus believed, we
would still be paving the floor Of hell
with the skulls Of the non-elect and
unbapt1zed infants and burning
witches at this stake. Why should we
Justify men in making progress in re-
tory Of the Christian church and then
condemn progress today? Is 1t pos
slble that we have just reached a per
lection in biblical Interpretation be-
yond which 1t Is impossible for the
church to go? Must the wonderful
movement in theology during the past
century stop suddenly? If SO, who
shall hold the field? The conserva-
tive or progressive forces? Let us
also remember that there have al
ways been these two forces at work
in the church. Christ was a destruc-
tive critic from the Pharisee's view
