6 T HE K I N G ’S B U S I N E S S glorify God in the saving of souls and the building up of His church. But, alas! alas! too often they are used instead to destroy souls and to grieve the Holy Spirit of God. Every wise Christian man or woman should insure their investments for God. We have a right to know, and God will hold us accountable for know ing, whether our investments of money are being used for His work. No preacher, no teacher, no missionary should get a penny of our money unless he is known to be a true believer in the whole Word of God. Claim the right and enforce it. Not a penny put into a building that may be turned over to Satan’s use, as many of them have been! Not a penny for a publication that does not stand four-square for the' great fundamental doctrines! Not a penny for an apostate preacher whose lips are clothed with blasphemous denials .of the virgin-birth and blood atonement of Jesus Christ! Not a penny for a religious organization which does not ring true to our Lord and His word! Not a penny for an annuity unless it is insured for God’s glory! Not a penny in a will that will bring regrets in another world! Make your investments bring definite results for Him who shed His blood for you. T. Q- -¿Mi, jfc ^ ^ POISONED AT THE SOURCE The Farm Journal recently carried a cartoon (herewith reproduced) suggesting that the pretense of cleaning up the movies' is a farce. The uicture prompts the thought that there is little to be expected from film censorship when so many actors and actresses are themselves corrupt.^ A mere glance through the daily paper, which records faithfully the doings of the movie colonies, is sufficient to show what this stream is at the source. Yet some of our churches are bringing the movies into the church because occasionally they turn out religious'films. Professing Christian people are placed in the position of supporting the crowd that not only themselves live for pajama parties and all but swim in booze, but put in a good part of ¿heir time producing pictures that are sure to destroy the moral conscious ness of youth and start thousands on the way to the red lights. Mr. R. D. Henkle, in the Christian Herald, is not at all extreme when he says that there must be war to the hilt between church people and the movies if we are to escape the certain depravity toward which the ordinary picture trends. He says: “ Let any Christian mother s girl attend such pictures as ‘Wedded but no Wife’, ‘Twin Beds’, ‘Temptation’, ‘Parlor, Bedroom qnd Bath’, ‘Broken Husbands’, ‘The Married Flapper’, ‘A Wide Open Town’, ‘His Common Law Wife’, and others, and if that mother’s heart is not broken it will be next akin to a miracle.” Such food can never foster virtue and nourish purity. The church of God can only save her sons and daughters by giving relentless battle to such forces, and the sooner we whet our swords and get at it the safer will be our homes.
