We enjoy The King’s Business so much. Upon our first acquaintance with it, many other Christian magazines and papers were coming to our home, but we soon began feeling The King’s Business to be a “must” and have been sub scribers ever since. No other magazine is looked forward to more eagerly nor read more thoroughly. D r . and M rs . C. H. W right Fredericktown, Ohio I enjoy every feature of your very fine magazine, especially Dr. Talbot’s Ques tion Box and the Bible Quiz by Vernon Howard. However, I disagree with Mr. Howard on Statement No. 2 in the Bible Quiz of the April issue. He says Moses never entered the Promised Land. In Luke 9:30-32 we have the beautiful and inspiring answer. It is true he waited hundreds of years to get there, but praise our wonderful God, he got in. M rs . J. C. C opeland Port Byron, 111. I am astonished at the venom shown in a “ Reader Reaction” in the May issue of The King’s Business. I am heartily sorry that anyone can think they see anything in your magazine to suggest similarity to the God-defying Stalin. Yes, “ you put on a Christian front”—; that extends to the closing page. “What church are you working for?” I can an swer them that you stand for the true church which includes all born-again souls. M innie L eigh Fall Creek, Ore. I must say I am astounded at the lack of knowledge of Catholic doctrine in herent in many of the articles in The King’s Business. I cannot quite under stand how the authors of the article “ Adventuring for Christ in the Andes” could accept and misinterpret the hospi tality of the kind priests of the Catholic missions and their efforts in bringing the knowledge of Christ to Latin Amer ica. Everyone who has studied the doc trine of Catholicism knows that the images or “ idols” seen in Catholic churches and missions are not to be wor shiped as these authors try to convey, but serve merely to put the worshiper in mind of the Deity or those close to it. Every Catholic knows and many Protes tants who have looked into the matter also know that the Virgin was created a perfect human being, the vessel to bear the Son of God. Many find no diffi culty in believing that because of her perfection she suffered no mortal death and was assumed into Heaven. 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 be stows His power to the rest of mankind?
