AN EDITORIAL POLICY ECÉNTLY c r it ic is m has come to the editor because o f cer tain editorials which have appeared in the KING ’S BUSINESS during the past months. One such editorial had to do with the alarming increase in homosexuality. It was objected to on the grounds that, because o f the editorial, parents did not dare to leave the magazine around for their children to read. Certainly we would not wish to do or say anything whatever which would shock unduly the minds o f young people. We are confident that this reaction comes from a sincere and serious-minded parent who has only the noblest aspirations for her children, and nothing that we shall say here should be construed as a light-hearted atti tude toward the criticism that has been expressed.

It was the prayerful hope o f the editor that parents o f young people might be able to point to the editorial as presenting another voice along with their own and that o f their pastors, as well as other Bible- believing, God-honoring servants o f the Lord Jesus Christ who
