Glancing at the windows of homes in our neighborhood, we do not see the empti- ,4» ness and spiritual void which is the lot of so many families. It lies within our power to give to such families, at this coming Christmas season, a gift which could well result in their acceptance of the Supreme Gift — God's Only Begotten Sen.

The value of a gift cannot bo measured by the amount of money one spends. One of the finest remembrances is a publication which, twelve months out of the year, brings vital .truth and practical daily application to the lives of each member of the heusehold.

H OW ARE PEOPLE W ON TO CHRIST?

First of all, God awakens our hearts to the need. We see the people next door, our neighbors down the street, relatives in distant cities. They may all be fine, moral people, yet without a knowledge of Jesus Christ . . . LOST! Your own home has been a testimony to them. Doubtless you have tried to speak of the Saviour in various ways. Yet you feel the urgent need to do some thing more, yearning to see them won to the Lord. There is a simple method by which they can be reached with the Gospel.

At the Christmas season, publishers urge us to let friends and relatives know of our love by giving magazine subscriptions. This is a practical thought because our remem brance enters the home every month of the year. THE KING'S BUSINESS, however, is far more than just a token of our thought fulness. For more than a half-century, our total editorial purpose has been to strength en the spiritual battlements of the home. A publication which will do this fulfills a double purpose in spiritual giving.

PERSONALIZED CHRISTMAS CARDS As soonaswereceive the order blank attached, our staff wil prepare a beautiful Christmas card to send to eachone whom you indicate. Signed with your name, it will stand out among the other cards received at Christmas announcing your thoughtfulness for the months to come. mu* h a n d y o r d o r f o r i n t

"FOR CHRISTMAS, I W A N T . . A Children are not the only ones who know what they would like for Christmas. We older ones, too, forget that Christmas is the day set aside to commemorate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. How fitting then that we give Him gifts of our love. And what better presentation than those who havebeen won to Christ. But how will we reach them? One ofthe great tools for evangelism today isthe printed page. Select a half-dozen or more people whom you love and whom you want to remember in some way this Christmas — Christians and non-Christians.

Send them a year's subscription to the beautiful KING’S BUSINESS. Let this trusted, half-century old, dedicated publication reach them with practical, stimulating help throughout the twelve months ahead. Next Christmas may forever betoo late. Signs point to the nearness of the Lord's return. We must do all we can to reach men and women for Christ. The froth of what the world hasto offer wrapped in tinsel and ribbon is not the answer. Give them the meat of the Word of God which is able to make onewise unto salvation, and to build up the saints in the most holy faith!

(Their subscription will follow them home should they leave on furlough.)

We do not suggest you give THE KING’S BUSINESS to every one on your list! But . . . as you write your order, think of those to whom you have already spoken a word for Christ— those to whom you want to have a continuing testimony.

NOVEMBER, 1962

( Û John Bolten, Sr., president of The Sunday School Times Foundation, has recently made the following an nouncement: “We announced a plan for the association of The Sunday- School Times and Eternity magazine under one board of directors. How ever, there are always far-reaching legal and practical problems in the merging of two non-profit organiza tions, and The Sunday School Times Foundation and The Evangelical Foundation were no exceptions to the rule. Therefore, although the bene fits and advantages to the organiza tions still exist, it has been decided not to proceed further with our nego tiations.” Sam Postlewaite is the new art de partment manager for Scripture Press, leading independent publisher of Mr. Postelwaite has had consider able experience as art production man ager and director for several well- known Chicago advertising firms. Mrs. Walter L. Wilson, wife of the be loved Bible teacher, went into the presence of the Lord September 25 following a brief illness. All eight of the children were home, which brought a real comfort to Dr. Wilson who, himself, has been suffering from heart trouble. Mr. Walter W . Scott has been ap pointed to the newly-created post of Executive Vice-President of The American Sunday School Union, pio neer rural missionary organization. Mr. Scott’s main task will be the overseeing and administration of the work of the several departments of the Union. Dr. S. A. Witmer, executive director of the Accrediting Association of Bi ble Colleges, died September 11 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. An outstanding authority in the field of Christian higher education, Dr. Witmer had served as a leader of the AABC since its very beginning. Dr. Witmer had been connected with Fort Wayne Bi ble College for a total of 28 years as a student, instructor, dean and pres Sunday school ma- tenais. He will be responsible to the Production Divi sion Director for providing art serv ices and maintain ing high stand ards of art quali ty for the firm. Mr. Postelwaite T J

THE KING'S BUSINESS

“I am as thoroughly sold on a departmentally g raded children’s church program as on a departmentally g raded Sunday School. Each age child needs a meaningful worship time on his own level and a challenge for serv ice. And adults need in their own service an opportunity for greater con centration on deeper truths from G o d ’s W o rd .” Only SCR IPTUREPRESS _

— Dr. Edwa rd Simpson

/offers a complete children's / church program for all ages!

Church-time for 2’s and 3’s . . . has been expanded in Scripture Press’ famous “Debby and Dan” Nursery course for January, 1963, and will be even more a full-fledged course in April . . . with individual and group activities, songs written to order, handcraft, visuals, finger plays, and motion rhymes. This pro gram is correlated with each Debby and Dan Bible story and theme, but is flexible enough to suit users of any other Sunday School curriculums. Train 4’s and 5’s at their spiritual, mental, and physi cal level with this planned two-year program. Simple yet significant worship services emphasize: teaching from God’s Word; building on pupils’ natural abilities and interests; and participation by individual pupils. Planned periods of alternating active and quiet times provide 1 to l l/> hours of real learning and training. Teach children Christ-honoring worship habits with this planned three-year program. NOW, Primaries can participate in worship services slanted to their level of understanding. Adult-super- vised sessions focus on these highlights: becoming a member of God’s family; discovering truths in God’s Word; and learning through missionary education, that Christians should tell others of the Lord. Prepare Juniors for participation and leadership in Adult Church Worship Services. Teach boys and girls the meaning of true worship ■ .. prepare them for active church leadership through planning and conducting ( under adult direction ) wor ship services slanted toward their level of spiritual understanding. Most weekly programs are composed of four major segments which may be adjusted to fit 45-minute to l}^-hour time schedules.

GIFT SUBSCRIPTION Sometime ago my sister and I received notice that a gift subscription to THE KING’S BUSINESS had been given to us by “A Friend,” and we have been receiv ing the magazine regularly since then. We want to thank you and the friend for this generous gift—one that brings much blessing. Marian Bishop Bower, Suma Ku, Kobe, Japan POSITION OF FUNDAMENTALISM I am writing to express my apprecia tion for your excellent editorials in THE KING’S BUSINESS. They are informa tive, articulate, concise and faithfully state our position as Fundamentalists. I am not ashamed to be classed and identified among that despised group. Quite some time ago I attended a meet ing in which the speaker was (at that time), editor of THE CHRISTIAN CEN TURY. During the course of his forgotten message was one expression which remains with me: “ wooden headed Fundamental ists.” By contrast, I remember a message delivered by William L. Pettingill more than thirty-five years ago; the very words he used remain vividly in my memory as he faithfully declared the immutable truths of God’s Holy Word. “ There were giants in the earth in those days.” Giants, spiritual giants, as compared with the Casper Milquetoast modernists of our day with their little sermonettes which offend not the self righteous religionists nor awaken sinners to the doom which awaits them. Such men as Henry Ostrom, E. J. Pace, Arno Caebelein, George McNeeley, Henry Walton, Ford C. Ottman, William Petting- gill, R. E. Neighbor, Harris Gregg, James M. Gray, T. C. Horton, Keith Brooks, Isaac Page, and others of like stature faithfully proclaimed the Word without apology; I thank the Lord that the breed is not extinct, albeit somewhat reduced. Your editorials are like a refreshing breeze in the sweltering oppressive atmosphere of “ neo-orthodoxy” and the “ new” evan- gelicism. Our prayers are with you, thank God for His truth and the remaining few who will “ earnestly contend.” Paul H. Wilson, (A "wooden-headed fundamen talist), Orlando, Florida SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONTROVERSY Of all the comments I have read on the controversy within the Southern Bap tist Convention, Dr. Sutherland’s editorial is by far the most searching and to the point that I have read. I always share these with a former Pastor. Mrs. D. Lyons, Hackensack, New Jersey

Heres the Amazing NewHospitalization

This unique plan for non-drinlcers pays you $100.00 cash (tax free) for every week you are in the hospital . . . from the very first day . . . even for life!

I F you do not drink, here is an opportunity to save up to 40% on your hospital insurance! Gold Star Rewards You I f you carry ordinary hospitalization, you are naturally helping to pay for the accidents, ill ness, and hospital bills o f drinkers. Alcoholism is our nation’s No. 3 health problem, ranking immediately behind heart disease and cancer. Statistics show that those who drink are sick more often, and for longer periods. Until now, your insurance cost as much as theirs. Now, with rates based on the superior health records of non-drinkers, Gold Star rewards you instead of penalizing you for not drinking by offering you more coverage at a lower cost.

Only You Can Cancel And the present low rate can never be raised as you grow older, or have too many claims, un less there is a general rate adjustment up or down for all policy holders! Moreover your Gold Star policy can never be cancelled by the company, no matter how long or how often you are sick. Your protection is guaranteed for life. Only you can cancel! It Could Happen To You Remember, one person in every two families will be hospitalized this year. A sudden fall, a spell o f illness, or an operation could put you or one o f your loved ones in the hospital for weeks, perhaps months, and could cost you hundreds, even thousands of dollars. Don’t Take Chances Can you afford a long siege in the hospital, with costly but necessary doctors’ bills, expen sive drugs and medicines? Many people lose their savings, their cars, even their homes trying to meet these ever-increasing costs. Don’t take chances with your financial security, or your fu ture. Remember—once the doctor says it’s your turn to enter the hospital, it’s too late to buy coverage at any price! Tax-Free Benefits With Gold Star you gain not only good de pendable protection, but also peace o f mind, freedom from fear and worry, as well as assur ance o f financial security. I f you can qualify for the Gold Star Plan, you will receive $100.00 a week, in cash, TAX FREE, from your first day in the hospital, for as long as you are there . . . even for life!

LEADING AMERICANS SAY:

“ I appreciate STONY BROOK'S Student Achievement” says Richard Hillyer Woodbury, New Jersey The academic program of Stony Brook is arranged to stimulate and help a boy achieve the highest scholastic rating of which he is capable. The School belongs to the Educa tional Records Bureau and makes regular use of its intelligence and objective tests. Various scholastic prizes and membership in the Cum Laude Society, the honorary pre paratory-school scholastic society, furnish mcentives. Stony Brook carefully plans to help each student improve his weaker sub jects without holding back the stronger mem bers of the class, through the use of ability sectioning and regular extra-help sessions. Christian Education at Stony Brook has real meaning. The atmosphere is wholesome without being pious. Boys are urged to live their lives in accordance with the will of God as set forth in Scripture. Bible Study is a major subject and is required of all students throughout tbe entire course. By maintaining a balance between reli gious, academic, and recreational activities, the School aims at a harmony of ■ purpose. By intelligent applica- 4 tion of this Christian program, in | both administration and teach- ing, Stony Brook is making a dis- tinctive contribution to American

(( WHAT IS MODERNISM? ft A part o f the rich heritage which the great reformers gave to Protestantism has been the glorious privilege o f having the open Bible available to every Christian. Taken out o f the cloistered mon- astaries where it was read and interpreted exclusively by the clergy, it reached the laity — the common people. The reformers believed that if the W ord could get into their homes and hearts it o f itself would be "qu ick and powerful” enough to direct the Christian in the way that he should go and make his testimony to the saving and keeping power o f the Lord Jesus Christ effective in the lives o f those with whom he came in contact. And , thank God, this was true. During the centuries which have followed the Reformation period the Bible has become an increasingly major factor in the life and discipline o f the people living in those countries where the W ord of God has been allowed to be sold and read without fear o f molesta tion. However, Satan was not about to give up so easily his hold upon the minds o f men. Over the years he has used various and devious means to bore both from within and without the church o f Jesus Christ in his effort to destroy, or at least weaken, this great bulwark o f the Christian church, namely, belief in the Ho ly Bible as the Word o f God and the only infallible rule o f faith and practice. His method has been to work not on the masses, but rather on the spir itual leaders. To accomplish this, it was necessary for him to reach the very fountainheads o f theological thought in order to train an unbelieving corps o f religious leaders who, in turn, would teach others also their own unbeliefs. Quite successfully this has been accomplished in the majority o f the theological seminaries o f every one o f our major Protestant denominations. In recent years this unbelief has been called by various names and may be found in vary ing degrees, but essentially it is one and the same thing: namely, a denial o f the complete authority o f the W ord o f God. The Bible must stand or fall as a unit. I f one is allowed to elim inate any one portion o f the Bible, some one else may eliminate another, and before long every part o f the Bible is eliminated by one or other and so it ceases to be the norm or the standard o f belief or o f conduct. This unbelief is best expressed by the word modern ism , a diabolically clever word because, quite naturally, everyone wishes to be considered up-to-date in his thinking — not antiquated or reactionary. Modernism cannot be designated as a system for there

THE KING'S BUSINESS

is no particular system connected with it. A modernist is not known for what he believes so much as for what he does not believe. For instance, first o f all, he does not believe in the verbal, plenary ( fu l l) , inspiration o f the Bible. And because he does not believe in the inspiration or supernatural revelation given by God to men, he de nies all supernatural accounts in the Bible: (1 ) the virgin birth o f Christ, (2 ) the miracles o f the Bible, both Old and New Testament, (3 ) the atoning death o f the Lord Jesus Christ on Calvary’s cross, (4 ) the bodily resurrection o f Jesus Christ, (5 ) the second coming o f our Lord and His glorious millennial reign upon the earth, (6 ) the new birth o f the believer which is a supernatural work accom plished as a result o f His death upon the cross, (7 ) the personality o f the Holy Spirit. Some even go so far as to deny the personality o f Satan and the reality o f hell. Still others hold that certain books o f the Old Testament or N ew Testament canons are not inspired. Actually, there are as many shades o f modernism as there are shades o f gray. But even as any shade o f gray has a certain amount o f black mixed with pure white, so the shades o f modernism have varying amounts o f the blackness o f unbelief mixed with the pure white o f God’s truth and God’s revelation to mankind. Strangely enough, the major damage in the Christian church today is not being accomplished by modernists. Instead, the devil is using for his pur poses the rather disgustingly soft attitude on the part o f real Bible- believing Christians, both clergy and laity, toward these doctrinal defectors. They do this by fellowshipping with them and harboring them within the fold, allowing them to be heard and to have a part in evangelical circles. Years ago, the modernists labeled those who were endeavoring to hold the line in connection with evangelical doctrines, beliefs and practices "heresy hunters” . This term has come to have a very odious meaning. The tragedy is that in order to avoid being thus denom inated, all too many individuals refuse to acknowledge heresy even when it is staring them right in the face. But our Lord Jesus Christ Himself has given us the rather effective example o f heresy hunting. He hunted out and exposed the heretics o f His day, namely the Phar isees and those who consorted with them. W e read His "woes” against the Pharisees as recorded in the twenty-second chapter o f Matthew’s Gospel account. Indeed, the Apostle Paul, too, was a rather effective heresy hunter. As one reads Paul’s epistles, he observes that nearly every one corrects some heresy and denounces some heretics who were found in the early church. Under the inspiration o f the Holy Spirit, Paul exposed them and warned the people o f the church against them and their heretical views. And from Paul’s day to the present, the degree to which the fact that there were those willing and courageous enough to be called "heresy hunters” . They held to the truth o f God’s W ord even above personal friendships or the relatively easy manner o f life which "lives and lets live” . . . the line o f least resistance. Today our prayer should be that the Lord will raise up a generation o f staunch believers who are willing and ready and able to expose heresy wherever it appears and that God will also awaken the laity to the devilish dangers o f modernism and unbelief in whatever form it may appear and stand, once again, for the eternal truth as it has been revealed in the entire inspired Word o f God.
