O u s t R e a d & U S p e a k I ♦ Christian Dress “ Your editorial on ‘Christian Dress’ is arresting. The suggestion is ' that the ac- ¡ knowledgment of sin and need of a Redeem er is denied in type. While slacks and I similar clothing may have some legitimate 1 place in certain occupations or certain I weather conditions, I wonder if there is not some typical meaning connected with their too-frequent wearing.’’ Rexford Smith Barwlck, Ontario, Canada “ I read your editorial on ‘Christian Dress’ and I wish to add> my experience in the matter. I have always worn bathing suits without any feeling of guilt until last win ter as I was praying one night i he;,*an- to feel as: if this were standing between God and me. I reasoned against it. that if mixed bathing were wrong, it wouldn’t be allowed at [a Christian camp] where we go eaeh summer. I dreaded making a de cision not to wear a bathing suit, but I was Convinced that appearing in that suit was the one thing I would have to' quit if I wanted power in prayer . : . So I left my suit at home this year . . . What puzzles me is why other women who have promi nent positions in God’s work, as evangelists and singers, do a number of things, such as use make-up, have short hair, pray with bare heads, etc., which the Lord won’t let me do . . . I am happy to be different for Jesus’ sake, but it’s just puzzling.” (Writer's Name Withheld) Michigan The Cover “ May I express my appreciation for the cover on your September issue? I did not admire the cover on the preceding two or three issues (man on horseback) and feared you had permanently adopted it. . Thank you for changing.” Mrs. A. E. Janzen. Hillsboro, Kans. “ Thanks for the new cover. I couldn’t keep house without THE KING’S BUSI NESS.” Mrs. H. A. Wheeler LaVerne, Calif. “ You speak of improvements . . . . . in some ways, I don’t like - the magazine' as well . . . You have pared down -the devo- tionals and put in more advertising of books and people! I know no magazine can-sat isfy everyone, and there are some very good and helpful articles in each copy-. . .- The cover, too, should contain the message of salvation.” Mrs. W. R. Streeper Long Beach. Calif. Kind Words “ I think THE KING’S BUSINESS is one of the grandest Christian magazines . . . I would never think of being without it and lately it is ‘super-fine’ in every way. I like- the new cover so very much, and it seems to me all .the articles are far above average . . . I send my magazine out to sick and shut-in folk when I am through with it, and they love to receive it . . . The August number alone is worth a year’s subscription, for the two very fine and helpful articles it contains, namely, ‘As Thy Servant Was Busy,’ by Vance Havner, and ‘God in the Home,’ by Dr. Walter L. W il son. Every home needs this number . . . I am praying our Father’s blessing on the paper as it goes out, and all the workers connected with its publication.” A. Rosalea Pendleton Wichita, Kans. “ As long as I can earn a dollar, I want THE KING'S BUSINESS.” Mrs. Sam Dotson Thousand Oaks, Calif. “ In the three years which I have spent overseas, THE KING’S BUSINESS has been a source of rich blessing to me, and has been used to give me a greater love for the Word of God and our Lord Jesus- Christ.” Noel D. Sprunger Berne, Ind.
Yes, Wheaton students like to eat at least three times a day. More than 1000 young men and women are served in three dining rooms. But even three dining rooms are not enough to serve the rapidly increasing student body and the many service men and women who are returning to the campus.
The building of the Memorial Student Center will provide adequate dining room facilities, and much needed space for other student acti vities. It will be a fitting memorial to the 1482 Wheaton students who served their nation, to the 32 who gave their all in her defense. W e invite you to experience the joy of sharing in this ministry. Let us send you full information con* cerning ‘the Wheaton of today and tomorrow.” WHEATON CO L L E G E "For Christ and His Kingdom " Box KP-II5 Wheafon, Illinois
