King's Business - 1946-10

ACROSS THE DESK of the Associate Editor

THE K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S Published Monthly by and Representing The Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Incorporated

rpHIS month we are very thankiul “*■ for our new paper. None have been more aware than the editors that the inferior grade of paper cheapened our magazine, but during -the war years, it was inadvisable to attempt any change. However, through a real ef­ fort on the part of our publishers, who have become our friends, this improvement is being brought about. We hope it will meet with a hearty response from our readers, Visited for a brief time at WMBI, radio sta­ tion of the Moody Bible Institute. This broadcasting station is wholly and completely dedicated to sending forth the good news of salvation through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. They have recently completed twenty years of operation, and their record is an enviable one. Theirs is a well- rounded out program, free from ob­ jectionable elements, and broadcast in a manner which would be a- credit to any radio station. flWhile in Chicago, I noticed an article by a prominent preacher in one of the large Chicago dailies, in which he stated that most of the religious radio programs of to­ day were “scandalous.” He declared that, with very few exceptions, re­ ligious radio is composed of ranters and ravers, those harping on one string "of some particular doctrine.” If this is true, it may explain why the broad­ casting studios have been cutting down on the number of religious programs. It is a subject for discussion at many of our King's Business confer­ ences why so few of our readers write in to express their opinion of our arti­ cles. I suppose that the proverb “No news is good news” would hold good here, which would mean that our read­ ers are enjoying the contents of the magazine and therefore find it not necessary to write. However, it is nice to hear from our readers occasionally. If In a recent trip, it was forcibly brought to mind how obnoxious to non-smokers is “second-hand” ciga­ rette smoke. It is passing strange how this habit, which is so silly, so expen­ sive, so odorous, and so filthy has secured such a hold, not only upon the men of our land, but upon a sur­ prising percentage of women. One wonders just what is the reason un­ derlying so much smoking. One phy­ sician reports that it is for ninety per cent a nervous habit. Perhaps some of our readers can enlighten us. yj One cannot travel by air without being impressed with the size of our land. The pattern of fruitful farms forms a pretty picture from 5,000 feet elevation. The American harvests of 1946 are again exceedingly bountiful OCTOBER, 1946
