DATING OF POEM On page 31 of the August KING’S I BUSINESS you have quoted part of the j famous poem written by Jeanne Marie | Bouvieres de La Mothe Guyon which be gins “A Little Bird.” It is not known when this poem was written hut in one of her terms of im prisonment for her faith it was composed. But since she was born April 13, 1648 and died in June 1717, quite obviously the poem was not written in 1868. It will he interesting to see if any others will note this slight error. I have her wonderful biography, a book which has been out of print for many years and one which is certainly a real gem! Mrs. Betty Bruechert, Biola. (EDITOR’S NOTE: Mrs. Bruechert is quite correct although we have not heard from anyone else about the mistake. The life of Madam Guyon would certainly prove interesting reading, portions of which could perhaps be used in THE KING’S BUSINESS.) COMMENTS ON EDITORIAL This is to express appreciation for your good editorial in THE KING’S BUSINESS. Other expressions of appreciation have come to us from our men and we would like permission to reproduce this in the VOICE magazine. The subject of Catholicism of course is attracting a good deal of attention these days and your analysis of the Protestant Council on Roman Catholicism is a timely one. Please be assured of our continued prayer on behalf of Biola and your ministries there. Glen A. Lehman, National Executive Secretary, In dependent Fundamental Churches of America, Chicago, III. Thank God for your recent editorial. It would appear that the time is ripe for a 20th Century Reformation, spearheaded by men bom of the same Spirit who led forth Luther, Calvin, Huss, Wycliffe, etc. I They were privileged, at great cost, to lead I God’s people out of the abominable Baby- \ Ion and all her blood-denying, Christ-re- jecting sins. Is there not a 20th century man of God to draw the line of cleavage existing in truth between that great ecumenical Baby lon now taking shape before our very eyes, and the blood-bought children of God by faith in Christ Jesus? If there exists such a man the Spirit of God shall raise him up, and I predict that he will be a man whose conscience and actions are bound absolutely and decisively only by the Word of God as we know it. It will be a man who fears God to the extent that he fears not even the most exalted of men, a man of the Spirit and of His wis dom. He will know what the will of the Lord is as clearly set forth in the Word, and who, by reason of use has his senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Thanks, too, for your crystal-clear ar ticles on the subject of Seventh-day Ad ventism. Robert Kluttz, Missionary, Wakkanai, Hokkaido, Japan.
