King's Business - 1950-06

BUSINESS

Upon reading my current issue of your magazine, I came across two letters criticizing an illustration which had appeared in the January issue. Since I had never seen anything in The King’s Business that could be criticized from that standpoint, I looked up the January issue to see what all the fuss was about —and was aghast when I turned to page thirteen! No wonder it is hard to in­ terest young people in the church when so-called Christians can see evil in a picture as sweet and wholesome as that. I suggest that these good people look to their own minds for the evil, and re­ member that “ As a man thinketh in his own heart, so is he.” —MRS. FRANK GRIFFEN Weiser, Idaho How we love The King’s Business! It brings peace and comfort to our souls. Just recently I subscribed for a friend after reading the article, “ The Mind Under the Blood.” This Christian friend has a great burden—at times is almost desperate. I prayed and prayed for her, and when I read this article, I felt it would help her so I loaned the magazine to her, and also subscribed for her. She received much help from this article, as well as from all the rest of the material in the magazine. —LAURA MOTT Cleveland, Ohio I read with some interest in your January King’s Business, page 16, the anonymous reader’s letter and your re­ ply thereto, which reply I highly appre­ ciate. I may add that the phrase “many of the best Christians in the world to­ day are members of the above,” i.e. Catholics and Christian Scientists, is totally wrong. Although members of these two churches may call themselves Christians, they are not Christ’s own, Christians. The Word of God very defi­ nitely and clearly says he that has not the Spirit of Christ is none of His (Christ’s). The teachings of the two above churches are not scriptural and therefore they do mislead souls to per­ dition. I always call a spade a spade; I fear not. I thank you for The King’s Business which you are kind enough to send me for over fifteen to twenty years (except during the war time). It has been a source of blessing to me and the mem­ bers of my family and others. I am a lay worker of the Methodist Church, not a modernist, and 1 admit the Bible truths re conversion, regeneration, new life in Christ—without which a Chris­ tian is a dummy. —H. O. MUTTUKISTNA Batticaloa, CEYLON. I am enjoying every article of The King’s Business. I have greatly profited from Dr. Talbot’s series on “ The Mys­ tery of Suffering.” Have been ill quite a bit, and it has been a great help to me. —ELIZABETH MEHAGIAN Pasadena, Calif.
