ing from home to home. He found th a t through th e magazine he got many op portunities to w itness for Christ— and we m ight add also th a t he got a kick out of some people. He interested a large number in th e magazine, got it introduced in place of quarterlies in one of the' largest Sunday schools, and when the subscribers began to rejoice over th e good things they were getting for a dollar a year, his own joy knew no bounds. Then he began to get out cir cular le tte rs a t his own expense, send ing them to hundreds of people to tell them w hat they were missing. The letters began to bear fru it and as the good work w ent on, he saw believers being bu ilt up in the faith and going out as happy soul w inners. The thing has gone on till Herschberger h as his own .“K. B. stationery” and special ad vertising rn a ttir, and sends out scores of sample copies from his own home each month— all of which he does as a service unto Christ, not for rem unera tion. We cannot say how many hun dreds of subscribers he has secured. We only know th a t th e more he gets th e happier he grows and th e longer his le tte rs telling of his experiences be come. H erschberger has grown much in the past year, all because he made use of the opportunity th a t was rig h t a t hand and pushed it to th e lim it. God has places for men and women of this stamp. Some day H erschberger will, if he keeps humble, be pu t into a bigger job. Too many Christians today are not a t home when opportunity knocks at the door. They do no t know an op po rtun ity when they meet it face to face. We need more fellows like Hersch berger, who do not let life slip away while they are waiting for some great opportunity, bu t who take the little one a t hand and make it a g reat one. “The doors of opportunity are m arked ‘PUSH.’ ” —K. L. B.
tru e— and how few th ere are who real ly believe it to be tru e !— who can aare to impugn th e justice of “ everlasting punishm ent?” For Christ has opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers; th e way of God is free, and whosoever will may come. There is no artifice in this and grace is not a cloak to cover favoritism . Unsolved mysteries th ere are in Holy W rit, bu t when we read of “ God our Saviour,” who w illeth th a t all men should be saved; and of “Christ Jesus who gave H imself a ransom for all” (1 Tim. 2 :3 -6 ), we are standing in the full clear ligh t of day. This much is as clear as words can make it— and nothing more th an this concerns us—-th at th e consequences of accepting or rejecting Christ are final and eternal. But who are they who shall be held guilty of rejecting? W hat of those who, though living in Chris tendom , have never heard th e Gospel arigh t? And w hat of th e heathen who have never heard a t all? No one can claim to solve these problems w ithout seeming profanely to assume th e role of umpire between God and men. We know, and it is our joy to know, th a t the decision of all such questions rests w ith a God of perfect justice and infinite love. And le t th is be our answer to those who demand a solution ui them . U nhesitating faith is om rig h t a ttitu d e in presence of divine reve lation bu t where Scripture is silent let us keep silence. HERSCHBERGER, THE HUSTLER - The K ing’s Business about a year ago found a real frien d in a young m a n 'in Minneapolis, by the name of Herschber- ger. He was on fire for th e tru th and when he found The K ing’s Business, he saw rig n t away th a t he had found a means of doing real service for Christ. He volunteered his services to help spread th e good things around, and got busy a t once in his locality, go
