Calvary Church

By Editor

CALVARY CHURCH (Dr. Hemphill's), in San Francisco. has a hard time in its Bible-class. A long trial was held of Mrs. Cooper for heresy in her teaching, and now comes Mr. Condit and declares that “a belief in Christ cannot be essential to the heathen who have never heard of him.” And from this rises the query, Of what use is it to the heathen to send the gospel to them, if the gospel faith is not essential to them? But, really, the “heathen” are not confined to those lands where Christ was never heard of. Cannot some good orthodox teacher prove that the gospel is not essential to anybody for salvation? By so doing he will greatly gratify a multitude of people whose minds are blinded by “the god of this world.” 2 Cor. 4 : 1-3.
