“ Don’ts” Regarding Quotations 1. Don’t use quotations too often, except Scripture quotations. 2. Don’t use long quotations. 3. Don’t make a point simply to bring in an interesting quotation. 4. Don’t use quotations that are not ger mane to your subject and easily recog nized as such. - 5. Don’t use doggerel in quoting. Draw from great poets and hymn writers. 6. Don’t forget to have the W ord of God in your heart and at your tongue’s end. Quote it freely, correctly, and constantly. A quotation from God’s W ord is always in order.

Reunion Through the King’s Business The service that the K ing ’ s B usiness renders its readers is as varied as are its readers’ needs. The following account of the method by which a family union was effected reached the K ing ’ s B usiness o f fice recently. Mrs. Herbert Bower is the busy wife of an active Baptist clergyman, living in Dan ville, Pa. Not long ago, her brother from Pittsburgh handed her a recent issue o f the K ing ’ s B usiness . On one o f its pages ap peared an advertisement of the Hotel W il lard, the well-known temperance hostelry, which occupies a section of the Bible In stitute block in Los Angeles. A t the bottom o f the advertisement was the name o f F. B. Harrison, the manager o f the hotel. “ Do you think it is Fred?” Mr. Forest Harrison asked his sister. “I have been thinking that I would write, inquiring whether or' not this man is our brother.” Mrs. Bower did not delay. With the prompt decision characteristic o f minis ters’ wives, she acted at once, and Mr. Har rison, in Los Angeles, soon received an altogether unexpected answer to his adver tisement. “My brother-in-law, Rev. Herbert Bower, is a busy man,” Mr. Harrison explained in his office in the Willard Hotel. “ In the past, he has moved often. And you know, too, that the life of a hotel manager calls for frequent changes. Some time ago, one of his changes synchronized with one o f my departures, and in this way I lost track of my sister and her husband. You can im agine with what pleasure I received my sister’s letter, and how grateful I am for this reunion, which was brought about so unexpectedly through the K ing ’ s B usi ness .” ■ ■:

Jesus Rejected M ark 12:10, 11
Fishermen “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men" (Matt. 4 :19). Our Lord presents a twofold contrast. I. The Contrast Between Following One’s Own Program and Following Christ. 1. Some have succeeded in this world by following their, own program (Psa. 73:1-9). 2. Some have failed even to catch fish by following their own pro gram (John 21:3). 3. None can succeed before the Lord by following his own program (Psa. 49). 4 All who follow Christ are suc cessful (1 Cor. 15:58). II. The Contrast Between Catching Mere Fish and Catching Men. 1. Fish, like sparrows, are o f small value in comparison with men (Lk. 12:4-7). 2. The catching of fish rejoices the hungry (Hab. 1:14-16). 3. The catching o f men rejoices the angels in heaven (Lk. 15:7, 10).

S é b c a tia n The first requirement of a good hotel is loca tion, with right environment. Arriving guests must have immediate access to their rooms. Ladies desire convenience to the Shopping District, business men to the Financial Section, and Christian travelers will wish to be near to a church of their chosen denomination. (Frances E.) Willard Hotel is operated as a strictly high class, exclusive hostelry, catering to the Christian public, either transient or resi dential. For both men and women. Rooms with private bath $25.00 to $35.00 per month; de tached bath $15.00 to $22.00. Daily and week ly rates in proportion. W I L L A R D HO T E L C O M P A N Y 536-40 South Hope Street (Tel.
