E very month, letters pour into the K in g ’ s B u siness offices. In many there is this heart-cry, expressed in a number of ways: “We are hungry for spiritual food—desperately hungry. Give us something fro the Word that will satisfy, that will steady us in these days of modern ism, fanaticism, coldness.” The letters come from ministers and shut- ins, from parents and young people, from teachers and students. What would you do if, some morning, the postman made a mistake and delivered all these letters to your door, instead of to the Bible Insti tute of Los Angeles? You would feel about as the disciples did when they faced a fainting, hungry multitude and saw only a lad’s lunch with which to feed them, wouldn’t you ? What would you do ? What could you do ? Recognizing hopeless inadequacy in yourself, you would look to the King, wouldn’t you? You would expect Him to perform the miracle of satisfying every hungry soul. You would know that if the work were done, He must do it—do it all, and receive all the glory. What you would do, the KING’S BUSINESS staff has done. It has looked to God in faith and definite prayer for the provision of spiritual food for the thousands of K in g ’ s B u siness readers. The divine response has been wonderful beyond all human expectation. Month after month, the Lord’s choice servants have been the agents used in the provision of satisfying portions. A glance at the authors and their subjects, shown on these pages, will give an indication of the richness and variety of coming articles. Would you like to feel intimately acquainted with the men and women whose pictures you see here? You may! In the K in g ’ s B u sin ess family group there is delightful informality, understanding, fellowship. Slip
