Think an d P ra y About This Have you received a blessing from reading The K ing’s Business? Then try and pu t yourself in th e place of one of those m issionaries across th e seas. W hat would its message mean to you then? In the past we were perm itted to send a certain number of free copies of th e magazine, and the m issionaries were well remembered. We are no longer perm itted to do this. Every sub scription m ust be paid for, consequently if the magazine is continued to those, who of all are readers are the most vitally interested in its pages, we must have a fund on hand to enable us to do it. Would you not like to have a p art in a work of th is kind? Under all the discouraging conditions of the mis sionary fields, w hat m ight not th e mes sage of The K ing’s Business mean in spu rring on the w orkers to the salva tion of souls? We w ant to make an appeal also for a fund to be used in sending the maga zine to persons we know to be worthy, bu t who are financially unable to sub scribe. There are scores of invalids who long for ju st th is kind of reading, bu t they cannot have it unless some one seiids it to them . There are also hundreds of devoted families, active in the w inning of souls, who w rite us th a t they can ill spare the magazine bu t the high cost of living makes it necessary for them to do w ithout it. Our readers know ju st w h at th e mes sage of The K ing’s Business is and they know God can bless it because of its adherance to God’s Word. If th e re are those who would like to contribute for th e purposes mentioned, they jmay be assured the money will be carefully and prayerfully distributed, and they may
be reasonably certain th a t it will resu lt in the salvation of souls.
