Listen to Two Laymen One A Lawyer One A Salesman Both Standing Four-Square on the Fundamentals
A WORD OF WITNESS A salesman, writing to The King’s Business recently says: “ I am writing this to give my personal testimony as to my appreciation of The King’s Business, and the value I place upon it as a Christian layman and a business man. My wife, while on a visit to her mother in Los Angeles in 1920, subscribed to The King’s Business for me. At that time I was taking several religious magazines, but when I received the first copy of The King’s Business 1 became so absorbed in it that 1 sat up until eleven and twelve o'clock at night reading it through. The more 1 read the more enthusiastic I became, and considered it the best magazine teaching the Word of God I had been able to get hold of. I immediately sent in 24 subscriptions for friends— Christian people— who I knew would appreciate it. I am a travelling salesman, and have introduced this magazine to my friends in different towns where my business called me. I gave a copy to Prof. B., a professor in a Southern College, and teacher of a Men’s Bible Class. He came to me a short time afterwards and stated that he had been subscribing to a large number of religious magazines, but felt that The King’s Business would now supply all his wants and needs. I could add several testimonies of this nature from among my friends,— bankers, business men, etc. I have induced quite a number to subscribe for three months, and a number have told me it was the best religious magazine published. .1 am writing this to let you know how much your efforts are appreciated by Christian business men.*'
A WORD OF WARNING A prominent Binghamton (N. Y.) attorney, replying to a request for funds to endow a Chair of Church His tory in Auburn Theological Seminary, after a lengthy discussion concerning the standard set up for the ordi nation of Presbyterian ministers, said: “ If belief in the accuracy of the Scriptures; in the possession and exhibition by Jesus of miraculous and supernatural powers; in His crucifixion, death, burial and bodily resurrection, is not necessary to be believed in order to become a minister or member in the Presby terian church, why establish or ask for any declaration of faith or belief in anything? ***If any of the material facts asserted by. the writers of the New Testament, concerning the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus are untrue, why is not the principle ‘falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus* applicable to their entire writings? Having spent some time bn these and similar ques tions, we have concluded not to contribute anything more to an endowment of the chair of Church History in memory of a great and good man, whose preaching was so different from the sentiments expressed in the ‘Affirma tion,* and to whom the preachings and practices of the Clarkes, Guthries and others like them would have been as disturbing and distasteful, as it is to some of us old- fashioned folk.**
These Two Testimonies are Exceedingly Suggestive The Binghamton lawyer is wise. Why should any one endow a chair or an institution in these days when schools and colleges are manifesting such disregard for and denial of the Word of God, without which, as a foundation, our country is helplessly drifting to an early doom. Place your money where you can be assured it will produce definite results for God’s glory. We will gladly advise you. The testimony of the salesman shows what it is possible for one man, who really appreciates The King’s Business and its defence of the Fundamentals, to do in extending its circulation. What HE has done, YOU can do. We must double our subscription list, and this can soon be done if all the members of the K. B. Family will follow his example— introduce it to their friends, and thus help put it on a paying basis. “The King's Business Requireth Haste!" -1 s o m m i 21.8
