Dear Editor: The article, “Following H is Steps,” by Herbert Lockyer, of Liverpool, England, in the September issue of THE KING’S BUSI­ NESS was a great blessing to me because it helped me to understand many experi­ ences of the past year that otherwise I might not have been able to understand as fully. M AR Y L. ENSLIN, Hillsboro, Ore. Dear Friends: I wish to commend you people of THE KING’S BUSINESS upon the wonderful O c­ tober number. I am especially thankful for the article by Dr. W alter L. W ilson and the studies in the Messianic Psalms by Brother Pettingill. . . I am praying that Dr. W ilson m ay soon have his article published in tract form. I should like to give one to every unsaved doctor and to every unsaved per­ son in m y city. C. C. REAVEL, Marion, Ind. Dear Friends: I have just read over again the “ Doctor” article in the October KING’S BUSINESS. That surely is a masterpiece. Please send me ten copies, for I know I’ll need them and wish I had them. Could not the article be put up in tract form just as it is, pictures and all? This message is the first thing I have seen or read that has been written in the interests of doctors’ spiritual welfare. It ought to be in the hands of every mem ­ ber of the medical profession. If you would find out what the cost of 5,000 copies would be, printed on good paper, I think I might be able to enlist the help of doc­ tors whom I know, in getting the message widely distributed. C. A. COOK, Toledo, Ohio. Dear Friends: Please find inclosed $1.00 to pay for as many copies of the October issue of THE KING’S BUSINESS as you can send me for this sum. I want to use this particular copy for personal distribution with a personal letter in view of the first three articles, which are so fine for the questioning mind. W hat would it cost for a reprint issue of 2,000 copies including the first three or four articles at least? I wonder whether these fine articles could not be made avail­ able in pamphlet form for college distribu­ tion, edited and arranged for such use. . . . In regard to a reprint of the article, “ An Interview with the Doctor,” we might use 100 to 200 in our Y.M .C .A. committee work. I wish I could say 1,000 to 2,000, but . . . the cost will limit us. JOHN W . W OOLLE TT, Sacramento, Calif. “ Reprint It, Please”

Dear Friends: I have read Mrs. Turner’s page, entitled “ A Mother’s Soliloquy at Christmastide” in the December issue of THE KING’S BUSI­ NESS, and I’m hoping and praying that the n?w department, “ The Christian Parents* Fellowship,” shall soon be started. W e have a little boy just going on three years of age, and even now I feel we need to be better prepared to lead him in the right way. One of m y desires has been to have a daily worship period in our home, one to which all of us shall look forward. I should like to have the questions an­ swered: “W hen will our boy be old enough to understand Bible truth?” and “ Shall we just ‘tell him Bible stories,’ or is there something else we must d o ?” MRS. LEONARD ARNOLD, Scio, Ore. Dear Sirs: Since you have suggested that readers of THE KING’S BUSINESS shall make sugges­ tions as to how the “K. B .” might be made more useful, I will suggest the following: I believe it would be of great joy and benefit if you would have more articles on actual cases of souls won to Christ, and of how they were won by students and other Chris­ tian workers. I think those who help to sup­ port the Institute would appreciate more material along this line. Another m atter: One of the first things I like to see in -----------------—r (magazine) is the group of re­ ports covering the evangelistic field, and I think it would help to encourage Christian workers if more were given in the “ K. B.*’ ' concerning this. R. H. STOVEL, Bowman, Placer Co., Calif. Items about several evangelists are given this month on pages 82 and 83. W ill other evangelists send in news about their w ork? Testimonies Wanted Dear Friends: May I ask why there are so few articles in THE KING’S BUSINESS lately? A s 1 re­ member, there used to be five or six articles monthly, and in this January issue there are only three. W e enjoy the Sunday-school lessons, and also the young people’s pages, and are look­ ing forward to many good things in the magazine this year. MRS. EDGAR SANDERS, Auburn, New York. Readers will note that there are eight more pages in this February issue* than were in the January number. Every effort will be made to publish more articles— and of the kind that subscribers desire. (Inci­ dentally, there were four major articles in the January, 1938, issue, some of them longer than the usual contributions). More Articles!

Dear Brother Rood: I have been a reader of THE KING’S BUSINESS for the past several years, and think it is a wonderful magazine. For the past two or three years I have been send­ ing to your magazine ten to twenty names as club subscribers, and I am getting up another club this year. I do not know yet just how many I shall be able to get this time. There is just one thing that I find our folks don’t like about your magazine, and that is this: Your magazine does not carry the Devotional Reading for the Sunday- school lesson. If you will permit me, 1 should like to suggest that you add the Devotional Reading to your magazine this next year (1938). M. A . GRAY, House of Representatives, State of Arizona, Douglas, Ariz. Beginning with the January, 1938, issue, reference to each lesson’s Devotional Read­ ing and the entire text of the lesson, taken from the Authorized Version of the Bible, are printed in connection with the Interna­ tional Lesson Commentary in TH E KING’S BUSINESS. Now the magazine m ay be used as a quarterly, with Scripture portions and lesson helps all conveniently arranged. Dear Dr. Rood: I became acquainted with your paper, THE KING’S BUSINESS, in 1936, receiving m y first copy in January of that year. A friend of mine sent in m y subscription as a surprise for me, and since that time she has passed on to her reward. I have each of the twelve copies I re­ ceived and cherish them very highly. I have them on m y table in front of me each day; so when I sit down to rest I pick one up and always find something helpful. W e are just mountain folk, working on a farm for support. However, we are very happy— happy in the service of the Master, as I am conducting a little Bible school each Sunday at two o’clock at our school- ■house. I want to work for THE KING’S BUSI­ NESS in getting a club of ten members be­ ginning January 1, 1938. I know I have missed a great deal by not getting the paper for 1937. I have the picture of the group of Biola students which you sent in one of my issues last year. It is framed and hung in m y room. I cherish it very highly. MRS. HERBERT BOWLING, McWhorter, Ky. Every year hundreds of gift subscriptions are ordered by Christian friends for per­ sons in whom they are interested. W ill not our readers pray— as the editorial staff of THE KING’S BUSINESS continually is pray­ ing— that the pages of this magazine may ever be, in the Lord’s hands, an effective means for meeting needs of heart and home?
