DR, WILLIAM GRAHAM Our president, empowered by the Spirit of the Living God and embraced in a passion for the souls of men, is enthusiastic in presenting a challenge that shall reach not only Judea and Samaria, but even the uttermost parts of the earth. And I sought for a man among them that should make up the hedge and stand in the gap before Dr. Graham has filled this place. me. 11

FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK: Forty-six years ago modernism was at its height and bursting with self-confidence. The new theory of evolution became for the modernist the law of inevitable progress which in turn guaranteed the upward progress of the race. The triumphs of the new science gave man unlimited confidence in his own power. The myth that secular educa¬ tion could solve most of our ills was widely held. The belief that war on a large scale was in the past was prevalent and only disputed by a handful of so-called fundamentalists and far-sighted realists. The belief in the magic powers of democracy was widely distributed. Modernism was Utopian in spirit and as yet unchastened by the harsh judgment of history. Modernism quickly penetrated to the strongholds of traditional orthodoxy, influencing all the schools and completely capturing many of the older seminaries. Conquest began with a plea for inclusivism. It ended in many cases with the fundamentalist excluded from the sem¬ inaries and theological training schools which their people had built and endowed The emphasis upon the distinctive doctrines of the Christian faith was considered secondary and therefore neglected. Modernism, cock-sure in spirit, talked glibly of the consensus of scholarship,” the assured results of Biblical criticisms,” and the new scientific method.” At the turn of the century a mighty voice began to be heard from Coast to Coast, crying out in protest and calling the evangelical leaders to prayer, conference, and action. W. B. Riley became the symbol of evangelical conservatism and fundamentalism. With prophetic eye and daring faith he founded the Northwestern Schools. Today they stand as a monument to his blood, sweat, tears, sacrifice, prayer and faith. After only forty-six years they have become one of the mightiest voices for evangelical Christianity in the world. Today with expanding facilities our methods have undergone somewhat of a change, but our voice will be heard in ever-increasing volume as we contend for the faith” and graduate young men and women with Knowledge on Fire.” At North¬ western our battle-cry has been Missions and Evangelism” in this school year of our Lord, 1948-49. Class of 49, my sine crest prayer is that you might contend for the faith without being contentious; and preach and witness the Gospel of Jesus Christ with sincerity, conviction, and power that has been set on fire of the Holy Ghost. The world is desperately hungry! Billy Graham, President
