THE K I N G ’ S BUS I NE S S 2 31 Will newspapers buy these sermons? Of course they will. We have. Some people will take the paper just to see what “ that man” is going to say the next time. Every little sermon will he a wide-awake message, and we are giving you this illustration with the desire that you will pray for God’s bessing on this project, and that you will communicate with the Secretary of the movement, Mr. Walter F. Clowes, 209 West 38th Street, New York, who will tell you how to interest some wide-awake business men in your place in selling this matter to your newspaper. Only one paper in a place can have it, and the Christian man who places it must do it as a service for the Lord. I t ’s new, isn’t it? Yes, new and true, and it works! T. C. H. ¿Me. THINKING KINDLY THOUGHTS It is Christmas Day, and the editor is writing a word for the March King’s Business. The air is filled with Christmas cheer and kindly greet- ings. We feel kindly, and we are thinking of our friends and of our enemies. We love them all. We have so many good friends scattered in every part of the earth; not a country on the globe in Which some kindly hearts are not praying for us. And our prayers go out daily for all the King’s Busi ness family and for the generous givers to the work which the Lord has given us to do. . , •■ It is blessed to have friends and to have enemies. We have learned that an enemy made in a righteous cause is a good asset. When it is said of any man, “ He had no enemies,” then it must be true that such a man could not have been like the Master. No man could live a holier life than did He. No man could be more loving. No man could be more unselfish. But He had enemies. Why? Alas, alack, He told the truth. The truth always has teeth in it. It comforts, blesses, revives, strengthens, but it also reproves, rebukes, warns. It is an eye-opener and a heart-breaker. When truth is yielded to, it breaks the heart; a heart is at its best when broken. But when truth is rejected, it hardens the heart, fills it with antagonism, makes it Satanic. We love to get letters from oiir enemies. They humble us. We always write the sweetest kind of an answer, (we have learned how to write letters from the Bible), and that makes them mad. They expect some deservedly hot shot for a reply, and then they could say : “ There, that’s the kind of people they are.” We have tried hard to understand our enemies. We are trying hard to love them better this Christmas day, wishing that they could see that which seems so simple and plain to us, that Jesus Christ was God manifest in the flesh—Virgin-born—bodily raised—living in glory—loving all His saints—longing to have them with Him, and coming some good glad day to take them all home with Him. We cannot see why they deliberately doubt, deny, divide, denounce, defy the truth, but we suppose it is because they are scholars (or assume to be), and of course those who think they are scholars and endeavor to make us think so too, seem possessed with the belief that it is a sign of scholarship
