new. Bible truth is still the same, and separation is two-fold —from the world and unto God. Most of our friends at the Church of the Open Door share our opinion that T h e K in g ’ s B usiness has been deteriorating in spiritual tone. A number of them no longer sub­ scribe because of this. One of my friends who receives T he K in g ’ s B usiness as a gift, but prefers other better Christian magazines, told me that she burned the November issue because of Stedman’s dangerous article, rather than passing it on for others to read as she usually does. Los Angeles, Calif. Dr. and Mrs. Eric Witt Sirs: You put into writing some things I have been thinking and talking over with others for some time. I grew up in a Plymouth Brethren assembly in St. Louis. My folks were personal friends of Dr. Iron­ side and the Bible teaching I re­ ceived was the very best in some ways. However, because of my in­ terest in Youth for Christ and Young Life Campaign I was severe­ ly criticized by many of our friends. I was raised on a set of standards but in recent months I have seen how little these standards accom­ plish. In my work with high schoolers I found that many of those from Christian homes who were “ separated Christians” never won anyone to the Lord. Whereas, one girl we had who was a new Christian and not quite separated had won seven others in one year. I agree with you that this does not mean that we should let our standards down, but I realize some­ thing more than a set of rules is necessary. We now belong to an independ­ ent church and the pastor and I have been discussing these things at some length. He has also read your article and feels that it is a much needed challenge— so much so that he is going to preach along this line a week from Sunday. Spartanburg, S.C.

You, like-thousands of other Christians, can solve your financial problems in this unique way. By placing your funds ($300, $500, $1000 and upward) in Moody annuities you are assured of generous, unchanging financial returns for the rest of your life . . . and yet you have the satisfaction of knowing that through your gifts you are helping train young men and women to win souls for Christ. T H E G I V E R Complete satisfaction and assurance will be yours by having regular returns not affected by business ups and downs, and not requiring the worrisome attention of ordinary investments. You will experience joy, because your gift makes possible the spread of the gospel to the ends of the earth—through Moody-trained missionaries, gospel-science films and the other world-wide Moody ministries. • The Institute’s half-century record of paying all dividends, without fail, on the due date assures every annuitant of unchanging and dependable returns. A large reserve fund, plus the corporate assets of the Institute, are back of all Moody annuity agreements. Thousands have experienced the peace of mind brought about by the regularity of their annuity checks. T H E D I V I D E N D At regular intervals throughout your lifetime you will receive a check, the amount of which will be based on your age when the agreement is issued. And don’t forget—there is more than just the financial return . . . you receive another dividend, for your funds are helping take the gospel to those who have never heard it. . T H E R E C O R D
