NEW INTEREST IN BIBLE SINCE WORLD WAR.

The Great world war has planted new thoughts and new ideas in the hearts of average Americans. The Bible, the church, the gospel hymn means more to men and women than it ever did before. In the trenches dying soldiers were found with the Bible clasped in stiffening hands. The teachings of the Scriptures were never so much in demand and summer Bible conferences promise to draw large crowds this year. The Cedar Lake Conference is providing a line of wonderful thought and instruction for the coming summer. Two special events are emphasized in the conference program Just issued—the annual Bible Conference and Bible School, both to bd under the direction

of Paul Rader, pastor of the Moody church, Chicago. The annual Bible Conference is to open June 28 and will close Sunday, July 6. The music features of this conference have a strong appeal since Prof. Arthur W. McKee, soloist and chorister of Moody church, is to be in charge, with L. B. Latham presiding at the piano. Besides Paul Rader the program contains such speakers as Dr. William B. Riley, of the Northwestern Bible Institute; Rev. Walter Russell, of Toronto; Rev. J. C. Massee, of Dayton, O.; Gustaf Johnson, of Minneapolis; and others. The first session of the Bible School is on Monday, July 7. This is a new feature for Cedar Lake —a three weeks’ Bible school for Christian workers. This will undoubtedly be a great privilege to many who are unable to take a more lengthy course. Among the teachers will be Paul Rader, principal Oi the school, whose great theme will be “Soul Winning.” Other teachers announced are C. I. Scofield, A. C. Goebelein, Clarence Larkin, Ivan Pannin, and Miss Frances L. Bennett.
