THE K I N G ’S BUS I NES S
SPOILING THE ATMOSPHERE A correspondent says: Some years ago a Christian gentlem an told me th a t I could call every sp iritu alist in th e city togeth er, and if I were to kneel down and invoke th e presence of th e Lord Jesus Christ, they could do absolutely nothing. This gentleman, as a young man on coming to London, had been led away by Spiritualism , b u t some of his expe riences were so dread fu l th a t he was led to repent, and to renew his allegi ance to th e Lord Jesu s Christ. Of his two friends who w ith him self became Spiritualists, one comm itted suicide, the o th er died in a lunatic asylum. The first tim e he was in one of th e ir m eet ings he felt he was in a wrong atmos phere, and he began to p ray inw ardly; a fte r a tim e th e medium stopped and said: “ Someone is praying h ere; we can do nothing.” THE ILLS OF PEACE Thomas H. Marshall, V ice-President of th e United States, says: “The Pocket Testam ent was th e most valuable th ing which th e soldier carried into th e fight w ith him. Because of the agony and sudden death, w ar was looked upon, as it is in many ways, as a frig h tfu l calam ity. It had one good featu re about it, however. I t kep t th e though t ful man constantly in remembrance of the fact th a t a t any moment he m ight be compelled to answer for th e deeds done in th e flesh. The though t th a t now th a t th e w ar is over th e Pocket T estam ent is to go, w ith th e submarine and th e helmet, into the museum , is a frig h tfu lly m istaken idea. Serious as is the business of life when death im mediately impends, it is far more serious when th e average man th ink s th a t it will not arrive for years to come. Now is th e tim e when, if never before, the soldier needs his Pocket T estam ent to meet the ills of peace.”
