Faith of Our Fathers VNCE more has the Faith of Our Fathers been popularly set aside while an innovation in Christian philosophy is being tested. But a historical per¬ spective immediately sets the thinker at ease, for such movements have occurred before. Obviously the needs of mankind are such as to ultimately demand the Old Faith again for their relief. Modernism must submit along with every other form of thought to the withering tests of laboratory methods. In fact this has already been done and the acid test of results in social and private life—-namely transformation of the individual has proved it a failure. The historical method, applied from the time of Saul of Tarsus to that of Jerry McCauley makes the true scientist exclaim, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation.” Marion College makes no apology for her stand on the Fundamentals for her leaders have seen that after the subtleties of debate have cleared away the final test of results is making the issue clear. Hence we have chosen as the theme for the 1927 Marionette, “The Faith of Our Fathers.” The art work bears a ' suggestion of the Roman life in which Christianity had its beginning. Its significance lies in the fact that the years have only added decay to the glory of Rome while the faith of those early Christians breaks more and more into a holy splendour. The division pages carry drawings which portray outstanding heroes of faith in their days of testing. We send forth this volume trusting that from the halls whose life it reflects may, come new heroes whose faith in these days of storm shall bless the world. —Editor. Page Five
