RILEY, WILLIAM BELL: 1861-
William Bell Riley was born in Greene County, Ind., on Mar. 22, 1861. His parents were Branson Radish and Ruth Anna Jackson Riley.
Riley attended Valparaiso Normal and Hanover College, receiving the A.B. degree in 1885 and the A.M. in 1888. In the latter year he also graduated from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He later received the LL.D. from John Brown University (1938) and the D.D. from Union University (1911).
He married Lillian Howard on Dec. 31, 1890. She died in 1931, and on Sept. 1, 1933, he married Marie R. Acomb.
The Rev. Mr. Riley had been ordained to the Baptist ministry in Kentucky in 1883, and he occupied pulpits in Warsaw and Carrollton, Ky., New Albany and Lafayette, Ind., and Bloomington and Chicago, Ill., between 1884 and 1897. In the latter year he became pastor of the First Church, Minneapolis, where he occupied the pulpit until 1942, when he retired. In 1902 he founded the Northwestern Bible Training School at Minneapolis and continued as its president. He founded and became president of the Northwestern Evangelical Seminary in 1935. One of the most voluminous of modern writers on religion, he was also executive secretary of The World's Christian Fundamentals Association and editor of THE NORTHWESTERN PILOT.

Foreword
The relation of creed to conduct is argued alike by Reason and Revelation. The Bible says "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he;" and the keenest observers upon human life have been compelled to concede the scientific accuracy of that claim. The faith of today will determine alike the conduct and character of tomorrow. A false theology eventually fruits in foul living.
The opinion of the preacher and the school professor,,voiced in the presence of youth, is more than a mere matter of polemics; it is practically a matter of morals, hence the title of this book "The Menace of Modernism." Hundreds of grateful students have already bourne testimony to the help received from the original delivery of this series; the author sends it forth asking no greater reward or return than that of lending similar help to thou- sands.
