CONFERENCE OF Bible
STUDENTS NEXT WEEK
Inteldenominatiopal Conference to
Be Held at The Lyric, Baltimore,
May 20 to 23rd, Inclusive.

The tragic days of worldwide wal
which have brought so much of sor-
row to- people everywhere, have also
brought us much for which We can
be thankful now that the war is ov-
er and victory is ours. Not the least
of these is the increased interest in,
and deepened devotion to, the study
of the Word of Cod. Seemingly, as
never before. inen are turning to
the Bible in an effort to learn the
meaning and to unfold the mystery
of the days through which We have
just passed.
But not all that calls itself Bible
teaching is the truth as it is revealed
in Christ Jesus our Lord. The Holy
Spirit, through Paul, has iorewarn-
ed us that "the time will come when
men will not endure sound doctrine,
but after their own lusts s0all they
heap to themselves teachers having
itching ears; and they shall turn
away their ears from the truth. and
shall be turned unto fables" We
regret to note that much of the pres
ent day preaching and teaching is, to
say the least, prophetic of the time
of which the Spirit wrote.
Therefore, because of this wide
spread apostasy, and in obedience to
the injunction of the Holy Spirit to
contend earnestly for the faith once
for all delivered unto the saints, "and
in perfect accord with similar con-
ferences held recently in Philadel-
phia, New York and Chicago, all who
love our Lord Jesus Christ, and any
who are desirous of knowing Him,
are earnestly and cordially invited to
meet (God willing) in the Lyric, Bal
timore, Md, May Goth, 21st, 22nd
and 23rd, 1919, with internationally
known pastors and Bible teachers of
different denominations, to consider
under the guidance of
the Holy Spirit. the teachings OF the
Scripture as to the fundamentals OF
the Christian faith-the person of
Christ, His absolute Deity and per-
feet humanity; the work Of Christ,
both upon the Cross and in the Glory,
the return of Christ, both for His
Church and with her, to reign upon
the earth as it's King. s.
I'VE believe these. days in which SO
many eager hearts are searching for
truth, give us a peculiar opportunl-
ty and responsibility to which : we
dare not be recreant. It is our
hope that great personal blessing
may come to all who attend, and
that a widely extended testimony to
the truth concerning our Lord may
result. We earnestly urge Gods
people everywhere to pray that He
may use the Conference wholly for
His glory, that "His way may be
known upon earth, and His saving
health among all nations" y
The conference has been arranged
BY a group of Gods children, repre-
senting practically every evangelical
denomination, who feel the need of
in these days OF recon-
struction and opportunity the his
toric faith of the Christian Church.
