BIBLE FOR BLIND A
PONDEROUS VOLUME

The largest producers of Bibles in
the world is the American Bible
society. The society has recently is
sued a complete Bible for the blind
This special Bible requires nineteen
volumes and weighs $50 pounds.

pared containing the most popular

contributions, the society is enabled
to sell the Bible for the blind at a
much smaller price than the actual

NEW THEOLOGICAL SENSATION
IN NEW YORK

large as a rendezvous for new sen
sations in theology. The latest storm
center Is DR.. Cornelius Woelkin,
pastor of Park Avenue Baptist
church. DR.. Woelfkin has recently
declared himself an "out-and out
modernist." He has given promi-
nence to such controverted subjects
as spiritualism, faith healing. and
the theater. Many of the leaders in
his own denomination have con-
demned his criticism Of the close
church. Announcement has been
made that the Park Avenue church
will soon consider resolution open
ing the membership of the church to
the unimmersed. On this subject,
DR.. Woelfkin said: Our practice of
nations unless they are baptized
again in our rite is out of harmony
with the spirit that is growing in
churches. We have already opened
our communion table to other
Christians and this proposed step
follows logically. Do you suppose
that in heaven. when communion is
celebrated, John Calvin, John Knox.
John and Charles Wesley and other
great leaders in the Baptist
world will be denied the privilege
of sitting with Baptists?" leading
undenominational pournal of re-
ligion says that the secret of it all
is the desire of DIR. Woelfkin, who
is one of the ablest and most be-
loved preachers in New York, to
make the church alike in its
thought. its fellowship, and it's ac-
tivity-eQual to the appalling hu-
man need of a great pagan city. No
where is the littleness of mind more
little, or sectarianism more stupid,
than in our great cities. which will
soon be missionary territory for
Protestant churches unless they
meet the challenge of actual condi-
TONS"

THE RADIO AS
PROPAGATION OF "HERESY"

The widespread use of the radio
for broadcasting sermons has filled
some with alarm lest the habit of
listening in on a radio sermon may
prove serious menace to church
attendance. The Christian Advocate

dealing with a new phase of the
subject. when man can sit at
home or even in his automobile and

metropolis. he is under temptation

Main street. If the Protestant
preacher winces under the compe-
tition which radio has suddenly

finds his flock discussing the SER
mons of some eloquent Presbyterian
or Baptist divine? What would the
Holy Inquisition have done If it
had had the radio TO oppose? Even
Torquemada might have thrown up
