Away from Christianity

By Editor

Away from Christianity.—The Baptist Flag of Fulton, Ky., in its issue of May 12, says: "Prof. J. A. Leavitt, president of Ewing College, says the trend of college education is away from Christianity. Is it possible that the infidels will get us on every line? Our preaching, the form of our conversions, the character of our membership, the trend of education, the theological training, the lack of family devotion, the lack of training children, and all the rest, seem to have fallen on the lines of inexcusable Godlessness. What is the saying of Paul? The time for the 'falling away' is surely close at hand."

This sounds very much like the prophecy of the apostle in 2 Tim. 3:1-5. We are in "the last days."
