BUSINESS
Dr. Talbot's Missionary Journey We have been reading The King’s Business, especially Dr. Talbot’s mis sionary messages. My opinion is that his articles, describing his present experi ences, are the best modern-day mission ary reports. They are thrilling, vivid pic tures of lands that have too long been vague to us. They challenge the reader in much the same way as the great mis sionary stories of the past. — T h e l m a D ec kakd Salt Lake City, Utah. I am so interested in Dr. Talbot’s re ports on his travels and the two issues we have had are wonderful. The one of his interview with General MacArthur is easily worth the price of the paper. —MRS. GRACE CLOUGH Portland, Ore. No Smoking for Christians I have read The King’s Business a lot and enjoy most of it, but William W. Orr’s article about young people on page 11 of the November issue didn’t go over so well with me. As Christians we can never over-en- courage everyone to stay clear of danc ing if they want to be Christians. Dr. Orr did a good job of explaining why dancing is dangerous, and I agree with him about that. But Dr. 0>rr seems to think you can be a Christian and smoke. I don’t know how you feel about it, but if someone were to come up to me with a cigar in his mouth and tell me he was saved, I would wonder what he was saved from. I have known of quite a few people being freed of their tobacco habit when they got saved. It seems to me that if it was all right to smoke and chew, God would have let them keep right on. The Bible plainly teaches that we can not be part Christlike and part worldly. If we are part worldly, God classes us as all worldly. Therefore I can’t see where I or anyone else could smoke and still call ourselves Christians. —DANIEL ROBINSON Rainier, Ore. -—This reader is referred to Dr. Orr’s editorial on smoking on page Uof this is sue. — Mg. Ed. Prays for Us I have been a constant reader for many years and greatly enjoy the grand articles and fine information. My soul is always blessed in reading it and I daily ask our Almighty God to strength en you in your wonderful work for our blessed Lord. MRS. ALMA HOPKINS Delano, Calif. I read The King’s Business with real interest, and pray the Lord’s blessings upon your greatly extended work for Him. —GLENN E. SMITH Sanford, Fla. F E B R U A R Y , 1 9 5 0
