There is a peace which issues in paralysis. There are hours when the church must say NO to those who would ask communion with her in the doing of her work, upon the basis of compro– mise. Such standing aloof may produce ostracism and persecution, but it will maintain power and influence. If ·the church of God in the cities of today were aloof from the materialistic philosophies of the schools, bearing her witness alone to the all sufficiency of Christ, and the perfection of His salvation, even though persecuted and ostracized and bruised, it would be to her that men would look in the hour of their need. The reason why men do not look to the church today 1s that she has destroyed her own influence by compron1ise." NOW AVAILABLE THE OHIO INDEPENDENT BAPTIST ••• G.
