BUSINESS
The July issue of the King’s Business has just arrived and I enjoyed as always the first glance through it. I cannot re frain from a bit of reply to Mary L. Gallivan of Long Beach. She says: “ Everyone who has studied the doctrine of Catholicism knows that the images or ‘idols’ seen in Catholic churches and missions are not to be worshiped as these authors try to convey.” I cannot lay claim to a really careful study of Catholicism, but here is something I do know. Two of my friends are working in the Orinoco River Mission in Venezue la where Catholicism is very strong. I collect and send to them used cards (Christmas, birthday, etc.) that they want to use in the work with children. They inform me that they cannot use cards that have pictures of Christ on them because those are worshiped. M in n ie L eigh Fall Creek, Oregon I enjoy the King’s Business very much. Thank you for it. In this modern age a good, sound, fundamental Chris tian magazine is a Godsend! I was dis mayed to read in “ Reader Reaction” of the July issue of the Catholic woman’s reaction to “Adventuring for Christ in the Andes.” It is sinful to put belief in a denominational doctrine rather than in the Bible. She uses the Catholic doctrine as a basis for all her arguments: justi fication of their images, perfection of the Virgin Mary, her assumption into Heav en, and Mary the mediator. I know of no verse of Scripture that upholds any of this. To quote: “ Everyone who has studied the doctrine of Catholicism knows that . . . [and then the argu ments, the last one being] . . . and again, so far as praying to the Virgin as a mediator between God and man is concerned, how can one prove that it may not be through her that God bestows His power to the rest of mankind.” Let me quote 1 Timothy 2:5: “ For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” M rs .

What a wonderful work they are doing there. Would- it be possible "for them to have a telephone? If so, what would the cost be? We would love to help as much as we can. M r . and M rs .

I have both love and respect for a Bible scholar like Dr. Talbot, but when he goes so wrong on a simple and clear- cut Bible passage as John 15:2,6, it (Continued on Page 19) S E P T E M B E R , 1 9 5 1
