Req. r. a. Torrey Suggests
Nine Christian Fundamentals

Nine fundamental Doctrines essential
TO Christian faith nave been suggested
by the Rev. R. A. Torrey. n. ID. dean
OF the Los Angeles Bible institute and
evangelist OF worldwide fame. 10 The
Worlds Conference on Christian Fun
damentals, in session this week at
Philadelphia, The great religious lead
ers Of all denominations are attending
the conference with the view to agree
ing upon certain fundamental beliefs
common to all Christian Teaching, thar
there may be a closer union for fell
lowship and service among all believers.
Preliminary TO union that Is 10 be
fruitful and permanent il is felt that
there needs to be a clear understand
ing OF Just what the fundamentals Of
Christianity are.
The actual, literal, physical resur-
rection Of Jesus Christ from the dead.
not merely the continued existence of
Jesus after erucifixlon, but the resur-
reCtion OF the very body that had been
nailed TO the cross and died. is put
forward by DR., Torrey as the first
and most fundamental point in apos-
tolic testimony. Paul went so far as
to declare" Or. Torrey says, that il
Christ had not been raised. his preach
ing was vain and the faith OF the be-
levers was vain. thus making ii clear
that the Christian faith stands or falls
with the resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead. Anyone who questions
the reality and literality of the resur-
r%ectlon of the body Of Christ from the
dead by the power Of God has no right
to be considered a Christian in the
New Testament sense"
The second fundamental, as given by
DIR, Forrey, Is the divine origin and in
errancy OF the scriptures OF the Old and
New Testament as originally given. IF
me scriptures are not OF Divine origin
and absolutely inerrant. we are all at
sea without chart, or compass. not
knowing whittier we are drifting"
The third fundamental given is he
deity of Jesus Christ, There can be
no union Of worship or prayer or Chris
tan service between those who believe
in the deity Of Jesus Christ and those
who simply accept him as divine in the
sense that all men are divine" ac-
cording to DIR. Torrey. IAN the five
distinctly divine misunderstanding
tence, omniscience, omnipresence, eter-
nifty and immutability-are ascribed to
Jesus Christ I'M all the fullness of
the Godhead' is said 70 dwell in Him.
Furthermore all the distinctly divine
o%fflces; creation, preservation, forgive
ness of sin, the raising OF the dead,
the transformation OF the body, judg-
ment, and the bestowal Of eternal life,
are ascribed to Jesus Christ"
The doctrine Of the substitutionary
atonement made by Jesus Christ on the
cross of Calvary Is given as the fourth
fundamental,
Without the doctrine Of the atone
ment we can have no Christianity. The
doctrine of h atonement that is
taught in the Bible and is fundamental
Is that Jesus Christ died as a vicarious
offering for sinners; mat He, an alb
s%olutely perfect, righteous One, who
deserved to live, died in the place Of
the unrighteous man who deserved to
die, and that He, by His death substi-
tuted for ours, made a Precipitation for

Desiring to attract the attention of all who passed by its store,
an up-to-date business firm had a large sign made, which occupied
a prominent place right in front of the establishment. The wording
of the sign was very much out of the ordinary, 1t was just a little
follows: I'VE are not a Has Been or a Once-Was' or a 'Goingto-
Be but we are strictly an Is-er'" The sign was the talk of the
town.
What did it mean? Why, simply this; They were not attempt
ing to do business on past reputation, as so many people ara doing,
or on future promises, but wanted 1t distinctly understood tina. they
were there with the goods all the time, My friend, what about you?
In the great business of life are you an User" a "Has-Been," a
when Duty and Opportunity come along? The only real success in
this world is made by the "Iser" May their tribe increase!
The User is the man who is giving to the world the best that
life he is using his gifts-God- bestowed-for the betterment OF the
world. The selfish spirit so prevalent in all Of Us Is being crucited
by him. He realizes that he is passing through this old world but
once and must use the opportunities and privileges that Ire his in
come.
The User" is ais. the man who tackles the problems of life in
an optimistic way. Life may not always be a bed Of roses for him,
rose bush, The clouds may come, but the sunlight always follows.
Nothing succeeds like success, hut real success comes only as a result
of viewing life in the largest, most optimistic manner,
one had the misfortune to fall and Immediately began to whine in
a babyish way. He was not hurt to amount to anything, but never
theless continued to whine and whimperh Finally the older boy
took him by the hand and in a kind, fatherly way said, Don't whine
obey, but became discouraged right at the start and whined out,
Charley, l cant whistle; my lips won't pucker up good" mo won
derry answered Charley, you haven't got all Of the whine out yet.
Keep on trying and soon the whistle will drive away the whine"
What a splendid lesson! What a glorious thing II all our "whiners'
could be changed into "whistlers"

our sins. which God accepted, and by
which Gods holy wrath at sin is ap-
peased so that God, on the ground OF
this atoning death, passed over the sins
Of those who accept Jesus Christ as
their atoning savior, %forgives them,
puts the righteousness OF Jesus Christ
TO their account, ana regards all those
who nave thus accepted Jesus Christ
with the same favor and delight that
he regards Jesus Christ himself
The fifth fundamental advanced Is the
Bible doctrine Of justification by faith
that no man Is justified by any do
ings Of his own. but mat he is Justi-
fled freely by Gods grace through the
redemption that Is In Jesus Christ, and
that he is justified upon the sole and
all sufficient ground of the perfect
atOnement that Jesus Christ made by
shedding his blood on the cross OF Cal
vary. and upon the single condition OF
faith in One who made the atonement.
According to the Bible teaching,
declared DR.. Torrey, "God asks nothing
else OF the sinner as n condition Of his
justification han that ne should be-
lieve on His Son, Jesus Christ, and
when he does thu believe he is justi-
fled without regard TO any works of
his own which he has to offer. 1t Is
true that the Bible teaches that this
faith which brings JUSTIFICATION inevita-
- NtA ~ 6tbN . NAAAh NAAA AhN
faith that one says he has but which
does not manifest itseII In action along
the line Of the faith professed, will
not justify"
Sixth is the personality and deity Of
the Holy Spirit. DR.. Torrey says that
the Holy Spirit is q person is proved
in many ways in the Scriptures, and
that anyone who knows God the Father,
and God the Son, but who does not
know the Holy Spirit has not attained
unto the Christian conception of God,
nor to a full Christian experience.
The seventh fundamental is the doc
trine of the regeneration by the power
of the Holy Spirit. The Bible clearly
teaches that no man can see or enter IN
to the kingdom Of God except he be born
again by the Holy Spirit. according to
DR.. Torrey. This necessity of the new
birth Is universal and imperative.
Nothing else will take the place Of the
new birth. Men in this day are trying
to substitute education, morality, re-
ligion, orthodoxy, baptism, outward re-
form, new thought, ~theosophy and other
things for the new birth. The new
birth is the inpartatiou 10 the n who
Is o again of a new nature, Gods
own nature"
The doctrine Of the existence of a
personal devil is given as the eighth
fundamental Of truly christian faith,
personal devil, DR., Forrey says, with
out di~screditing the teachings of the
Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
Future punishment IN nell is ninth
Of the fundamentals suggested by DR..
TQ"rey. No man who denies that there
Wi be a literal hell Of conscious, end
less suffering for those who persistent
ly reject Jesus Christ in tho life that
now Is, can be regarded as sound in
the faith or safe as a teacher. accord

WILL TAKE CENSUS TO
LIST ALL UNDER 40


Since his plans to form an Under
Forty organization in the Chamber OF
Commerce were Endorsed by the board
of directors Friday afternoon, w. Fl.
Fitzhugh, president, has ordered a
census taken OF the membership. to
ascertain the names of all under 40.
Mr.. Fitzhugh's intention is to organ.
ize the men in the chamber under 40
years Of age and give them certain
work to do, which. II not organized,
thew might not undertake. The idea
is that by so doing good material may
be developed among the younger men
of the organization for future leader
ship.
1t is assumed that young men are
somewhat backward about coming for
ward and participating in the direction
Of affairs while older men are at hand
to do it. Because of this, much real
ability among young men often for a
long time remains undiscovered.
