Religion Surely we should expect to find, at last, in RELIGION the knowledge of life ' s PURPOSE, the True Values, and the Right Way. Yet if we search deeply, with open mind, we find here the most sick- ening disillusionment of all! Shocking though it be, we find the re- ligious organizations which profess the name of Christ teaching the very oppo- site of what He taught— condemning the customs He practiced— following, instead, the pagan customs He con- demned. The Churches of the western world are divided and in confusion. They have not converted, saved, nor reformed the western world. Methodist Bishop Hazen G. Werner is publicly quoted: We have been dried out by the hot winds of secu- larism. We who are to overcome the world have been overcome by the world. Harvard Divinity School ' s Dean Miller says: The Church simply does not have a cutting edge (it has thrown awaythetwo-edged sword, the Bible!!). It has taken the culture of our time and absorbed it. Yale ' s Chaplain Coffin agrees: We churchmen are gifted at changing wine into water— watering down religion. But what is the REAL TRUTH? You can PROVE the existence of GOD. You can PROVE the inspiration of the Holy Bible— as God ' s revelation and Instruction Book to mankind. The GAr churches have not received their teach- ings and practices from this basic AUTHORITY, as popularly supposed. Rather, they have by interpreting it, en- deavored to so twist and distort it as to read their human-devised teachings and pagan practices Into it! Yet the Bible, taken without interpretation, makes sense! In it— and it alone— we find revealed the PURPOSE of human existence, the MEANING of life, the TRUE VALUES, the RIGHT WAY! Here, at last, we find the FOUNDA- TION— the starting point — of ALL KNOWLEDGE! Three unique colleges are founded on these priceless truths. Their students learn them, receive a broadened, balanced, true education. On the following pages see THE FRUITS— surely a refreshing, reward- ing experience! T
