King's Business - 1919-04

THE K I NG ' S B U S I N E S S got himself a good wife as the result of being a subscriber. After, having a copy of the magazine pigeon-holed in his desk for a year, one day he took it out and in glancing it through saw the picture of a certain fine young lady. He wrote to her and as a result of the cor­ respondence which was struck up, they are now happily married. HIS OPINION OF THE K. B. Extract from letter from Don. O. Shelton, President of the National Bible Institute, N. Y. City: “I greatly rejoice in the vigorous s p i r i t u a l quality of THE KING’S BUSINESS. The strong, outspoken witness which it has borne in the Feb­ ruary number to the divine authority of the Scripture is most cheering ana strengthening. I have greatly rejoiced in the keen edge the Holy Spirit is en­ abling you to put on your editorial mes­ sages. This is surely a time when all who write in the name of the Lord should pray persistently for ability to deliver a living, energizing message in His name. May ‘THE KING’S BUSI­ NESS continue to be a stalwart and persuasive defender and propagator of the Christian faith.” CONSCIENCE “ ‘Good-by,’ I said to my conscience, ‘Good-by, for aye and aye.’ And I put her hands off harshly, And turned my face away.

Hollowell, 1917, who has been assistant field director for the Red Cross in England and who has been with the forces that went to the Murman Coast, writes: “My experience has been varied since I last wrote you, having spent two months in Northern Russia at Arch Angel and Murmansk. The authorities were pleased to allow me my Sundays free for preaching and I preached three times some Sundays. At one service on Board ship ten took a stand for Christ. On the return voyage a highly cultured Russian accepted the Lord, and in further conversation with him later I found him to be very earnest in his stand. The naval and military author­ ities of the United States in Murmansk sent me a separate letter of apprecia­ tion of my work there and the Italian military commander presented me with a beautiful fur-lined coat, sent for me for a personal interview and then gave me his autograph. Col. Endicott, the Red Cross Commissioner for Great Britain, in commenting on testimony I gave in a certain matter pertaining to Russia, said, ‘Hollowell, I told Major Rockwell that we would depend on your word .alone in this matter.’ I have had more opportunity to do definite work for Him than ever in my life before.
