Special August Issue Sirs: I had the privilege of buying a copy of the special edition of T he K ing ’ s B usiness yesterday in a bookstore. Please let me congratulate you on such an edition. John’s Gospel—so plain and such large type! How I shall enjoy using it many, many times. I hope to mem orize the entire Gospel by reading it often. I have always loved it and now at 80 years of age I shall cherish it more. I am buying an extra copy for my little handicapped grandson who is 11 and just learning to walk. The attractive cover is appealing and the absence of dating also means much. Los Angeles, Calif. Mrs. Annie D. Rogers Already sev era l thousand extra copies of this special Christianity is sue have been ordered. Copies are still available at 25c each or five for just $1 postpaid. This issue makes an excellent booklet to give to those who may be interested in becoming Chris tians. Your order will be given prompt attention (see order blank on page 5 ) .— ED. Gospel Disc Jockey Sirs: Please accept my sincerest thanks for the fine article that appeared in the June issue telling about my gos pel and sacred disc jockey program. Perhaps you may be interested to know that since the article I have launched another similar program on station KPOL, Monday through Sat urday at 8 P.M. Los Angeles, Calif. Carl Blumay Revised Decision Sirs: I had decided to cancel my sub scription with my last issue but while rereading my past copies of four years I find I just can’t do without the magazine. Sorry I didn’t renew sooner. Eugene, Ore. Mrs. E. L. Kerr Leonard Eilers' Stories Sirs: When I opened my last copy of T he K ing ’ s B usiness the first thing I looked for was Leonard Eilers’ arti cle and was disappointed not to find it. I read them myself and they are a great stimulus to my faith. Then I read them to my three grandchil dren. They are what we all need;

Showmanship
Sirs: Have long felt you are sold out to the sensationalists but have reserved any comment until now. I have just finished reading Phil Kerr’s article on showmanship (May K.B.). It seems rather ironic how you place George Muller’s article in the same copy of your magazine. I have my doubts that Mr. Muller would write an article to be printed alongside such trash. It seems to me the K.B. is trying to middle the road with articles of Tozer’s and Muller’s appearing in conjunction with such unscriptural teaching as Mr. Kerr’s. Whittier, Calif. John Currington Sirs: With appreciation I’ve just finished reading Phil Kerr’s article—it is time ly and helpful. We all find it easier to be critical than gracious. Because I share Brother Kerr’s conviction it is difficult to raise an issue . . . without being guilty of inconsistency. Much criticism directed toward those who use showmanship as a tool of evan gelism is unfair. This should not, however, be confused with the many recent warnings being sounded by those having a serious concern for the growing theatrics to be observed in the average church service. The reason for church-service sen sationalism is the insatiable thirst of the people. Whence this thirst? Is it not to be found in the environment in which they had their spiritual birth? Yes, praise God, many may have been introduced to Jesus Christ with an accompanying blare of a jazz trum pet. Many may have been baptized into a fellowship of people “ hopped up,” as it were, with a superficial happiness. But are these new Chris tians not to become converted? Is such an atmosphere to remain as their normal Christian env ironment? Should we never expect such converts to settle down, becoming content with the “peace that Jesus gives” ? Let’s not leave our converts in the shambles from which they should have been lifted! Inglewood, Grenville A. Daun, Asst. Pastor Calif. Fairview Heights Baptist Church
