EDITORIAL COMMENTS The May issue of THE KING’S BUSINESS was received and read this week. Your editorial was interesting and went along with something I read in our newspaper recently which shows that the rumors are correct. We can be grateful for the removal but would be happier for a thorough house clean ing as your article shows. Mrs. Howard Murphy, Richmond, California E ditor ’ s N ote : The Editorial spoken of concerned the situation at the San Francisco Theological Seminary, whose president has been a frequent storm center in theological circles because of his unorthodox views concerning cer tain tenets of our Christian faith, his advocacy of homosexual practices and his recommendation of pornographic literature. SUMMER BIBLE CAMPS We appreciate very much the recent news coverage on the American Sun day School Union Bible Conferences in the May KING’S BUSINESS. . . We are now launching our Sesquicen- tennial year. In connection with this, we have a new 28-minute, 16 mm. sound motion picture entitled, “ This One’s For Jesus.” I am sure that there are many churches, as well as Bible conferences and vacation schools, which will be interested in using this film. Paul E. Almquist, American Sunday School Union, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania BRAINWASHED In the June issue the article “ I Was Brainwashed by the Jehovah Witness es” by James M. Aiken, was to me one of the most interesting pieces I have read in a long time. We have been for some time plagued by them at our door. I don’t like to be rude, but there seems no other way to be rid of them, short of slamming the door. It seems if you engage in a con versation with them, they know just how to pick apart your beliefs and feelings. Is there some way or some thing you can say to put a stop to their arguments? Mrs. Thomas Berg, Los Angeles, California E ditor ’ s N ote : I would point you to two very important verses in the Word of God found in II John 10 and 11 . Here we are specifically told of the dangers of getting involved with those who bring to our homes false teach ings. I believe you can stand upon this scripture and make certain that they are not given the opportunity to say anything concerning their evil her-

W E t h o u g h t t h a t surely the ultimate had been reached by the judiciary o f our land in the many recent decisions at all levels handed down in favor o f the individual’s rights as op posed to the rights o f society as a whole. But another recent de cision o f the Supreme Court once again has shocked the sensi bilities o f all who still cling to the concept o f historic Christian Americanism as it has been known since the early days o f our beloved nation. In a five to four vote, the Supreme Court has further hampered the effectiveness o f the law enforcement agen cies o f our land. Regardless o f the wording o f this ruling and its interpretation, the net result is that thereby crime is made easier. The task o f our already over-worked police departments has become even more difficult and, once again, the police, rather than the criminals, emerge as the defendants in any brush with the criminal element. After this five to four decision was ren dered by the Supreme Court, the announcement appeared in the newspapers that the President was about to appoint a certain individual to replace a retiring Justice. The press further stated that it was expected that this particular Justice would follow along with the liberal wing o f the Supreme Court. Unfortun ately, this means that future decisions o f a similar controversial nature will find the Supreme Court divided six to three, instead o f five to four. The utterly incongruous part o f the whole situa tion lies in the fact that on the one hand the President would make such an appointment, knowing the liberal, socialistic ten dencies o f the appointee, and on the other hand that he would dare to make a rather plaintive, if not pathetic, cry before Congress in one o f his addresses this year to the effect that "the fact o f crime and the fear o f crime mark the life o f every American.” How befuddled can an individual get! The police and the various law-enforcement agencies throughout the land, whose duty it is to maintain law and order and to reduce crime to the lowest possible level, are being ham strung at every turn. Wherever riots occur, whether on uni versity campuses or in areas ó f minority groups, all one hears is the stupid cry, "Police Brutality!” Is there no one in a place o f governmental responsibility to raise his voice in defense o f the noble but thankless efforts that the police are putting forth in an attempt to maintain law and order? If the results would not be so utterly disastrous, it might be o f interest some time

if, when a riot breaks out, the police would just quietly withdraw from the scene so there could never be any charge o f "bru tality” leveled at them. Wouldn’t then the cry ascend to high heaven, "Where are the police? What’s the matter with the law-enforcement agencies o f our land? Where is our protec tion?” As a matter o f fact, this was exactly what took place at the Watts riots in Los Angeles, during the summer o f 1965. The police were there doing the very best they could in the midst o f wild-eyed utterly irresponsible mobs who roamed the streets o f the Watts area. The police were accused o f brutality. In the same breath, the National Guard, which was not present during the early stages o f the riot, was severely condemned for its absence from the scene o f activity. I f the National Guard had moved in, they would have come with fixed bayonets and other effective weapons o f defense and law enforcement. So the ir responsible yowl goes up, whether or not the law enforcement agencies are present. They are always wrong! In the meantime, the "nine old men” , to quote the late President Roosevelt, on the Supreme Court bench, go merrily on their way, interpreting the law as favoring the destructive elements in our society, under the guise o f protecting personal liberties, and handicapping those who would keep this a law-abiding nation. It is difficult to understand what sort o f illogical thinking is employed in pursuing such an ideological enigma. Could it be that there is a hesitancy lest mobsters who represent more votes at election time than do the law enforcement agencies, be offended? One trembles at the possibility o f this sort o f at titude. O f course, it is readily granted that there may have been a few instances o f excessive restraining power in the intense stress and strain which is always to be found in an emotional crisis involving an appreciable number o f people. Cases like this inev itably occur, but it must be understood that these extreme situa tions are on both sides. Yet no one seems to consider that the hoodlums are revealing themselves to be extremely brutal as well, without the excuse our police officers have. It is quite readily granted that morally speaking we as a nation find ourselves in a very deplorable condition. Centuries ago the Lord had some things to say to a spiritually decadent nation through the lips o f His prophet, Isaiah: "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. I f ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good o f the land: but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword.” (Isa. 1:18-20). On every hand we see a rebellious nation, defying the laws o f God and the laws o f men. Tw o courses o f action may be followed: one is to be willing and obedient to God’s laws; this leads to blessing; the other is to refuse and rebel against God; the certain end result o f such a course o f action is too horrible to contemplate. It would mean hurtling ourselves into the inescapable judgment o f a holy God. God grant that it may never happen here!

penalty. With them, we believe there is only one God. Aside from these two points, however, our viewpoints are widely at variance.” However, a study of D aw n ite teachings reveals that many more heresies than rejection of the Trin ity and hell are identical with those of Jehovah’s Witnesses, such as soul- sleep, no-heaven, second probation, universalism, restoration, and par ticularly their rejection of the Deity of Christ, His substitionary death, and His triumphant resurrection. Actually, Dawnites claim to be the “ orthodox” fo llow e r s of Russell, founder of both cults. They have re printed, circulated and propagan dized Russell’s original set of Bible- denying books, originally entitled Millennial Daum, the Divine Plan of the Ages, The Helping Hand for Bi ble Students, and afterwards, Studies in the Scriptures. Russell's blatant claim was that the Bible could not be understood without these volumes. Upon the death of Russell, Ruther ford became head of the sect, renam ing the much-named group Jehovah’s Witnesses. Dawnites and others re jected his authority and went their own way. Although they use slightly different methods from those of Je hovah’s Witnesses, the Dawnites are

Question: I have been receiving a magazine entitled The Dawn, pub lished in New Jersey. The teachings sound exactly like Jehovah’s Wit nesses, but they do not use that title. Are they the same? Answer: They “ sound” like Jeho vah’s Witnesses because they are a splinter group from that sect. The difference between the two groups is that of Tweedledee and Tweedledum. In one of their folders the Dawnites themselves declare: “ Many are ask ing the difference between the teach ings of the Dawn Bible Students Association . . . and those of the sect known as Jehovah’s Witnesses. . . . We hold the same views with respect to the ‘wages of sin’ insisting that death, not eternal torment, is the

R i c k c o o k e d this chicken?” our astonished dinner guest asked. “ Yes, our 13-year-old. He has been cooking since he was 8 and Laurie, now 11, has been cooking since she was 9.” People are surprised when they find out that our children can cook. Then they usually asked these two questions: “When did you find time to teach them? How can you stand the mess they leave?” Once when I was very ill, my hus band Dick took over all the house hold duties. I’ll never forget how grateful I was to his dad for teach ing him the basic steps of cooking and caring for a house. It was about then that I decided our children would know how to make a few good breakfasts, lunches and dinners. I made up my mind I would do my very best to make it fun and crea tive both for Laurie, who would spend much time cooking as a fu ture mother and for Rick, who some day, as a father, would have to “ pitch in.” We began with simple things like putting the toast in the toaster, waiting for it, and buttering it quickly. They were not aware of the teaching process much of the time as it seemed a natural thing to “ help” with dinner. The first thing Rick ever made was pancakes (it helps if they LOVE what they are cooking) and we taught him gradually, not all in one lesson as in cooking school, but slow ly. For instance, one day he broke the eggs, another day he beat the batter, and finally, pancakes, from start to finish! When mothers think of teaching their children to cook often they stop right there. You and I know that there’s more to cooking than just cooking! There’s cleaning up the mess! So with teaching our children to cook, I taught them how to use the right utensil and to clean up as they went along. For instance, one little piece of paper toweling under the pitcher of pancake batter is easier to clean up than dried, hard ened batter on the sink. We estab lished a rule that part of cooking was the cleaning up. Too often we forget this and our own cooking leaves our kitchen in shambles. Now when our children cook, the kitchen looks as it does when I cook (messy but not demolished). The Scripture that tells us to “ train up a child in the way he should go” was written, not only for his spiritual growth, but for every area of his life; to help girls and boys to be someday the best moth ers and fathers that they can possi bly be.

When someone says, “ This is de licious; who cooked it?” , I’m not sure who beams more proudly, the children or we the parents, but I do know that I fairly burst with pride as I say, “ The CHILDREN cooked it!” RICK'S CHICKEN (It's not really Rick's chicken as we got it from- a BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS BOOK. . . . But he has made it so many times we have given it this name.) 1 - 2Vi or 3 pound fryer chicken. Cut up. (Or special pieces if you like.) Vi cup butter or margarine. 1 - 4 ounce package of potato chips. 14 teaspoon of garlic salt. (Use onion salt if you prefer.) Dash of pepper Set oven to 375 degrees. Melt but ter in a small skillet. While it's melt ing, tear off a small part of the corner on the potato chip bag (to release the air) and then crush the chips with a rolling pin before open ing the whole package. Mix crushed potato chips with garlic salt and pepper on waxed paper. Dip chicken into butter, then roll in potato chip crumbs. Place pieces on a pan, skin side up, so they do not touch. Pour rest of butter, crumbs over chicken. Bake 1 hour (do not turn). This serves four. Note: I have made this for 25 to 30 people, using thighs and/or drumsticks. Remember to allow Vi hour extra time in baking. Thought: Home cooking is where a lot of modern women should be.

(Highway 39) BUENA PARK, CALIF. 12 THE KING'S BUSINESS Q. What is the main task o f the church ? A . Christ founded the church for the purpose of propagating the Gospel. Often, however, we interpret this solely in terms of evangelism. We must not minimize evangelism since this is the starting-point of the life in Christ. But then comes the im portant task of nurturing the believ er and equipping him for effective service for Jesus Christ. Since the church is composed of believers, it would appear that the main task of the leadership of any church is to offer a ministry that will prepare the people to do effectively the work that Christ has committed to us. Q. How should a program he set up in the church? A. When we think of a church pro gram, it is important to approach it in terms of people rather than simp ly program. A program must grow out of and attempt to meet the needs of the people in the church. Our over-all objective should be to offer a balanced program through which our people may grow spiritually. To provide this balance, consideration must be given at each age level for an opportunity to worship, to be in structed in the Bible, to fellowship with other believers and to engage in effective service. Q. How can the church accomplish its total ministry in the little time available ? A. There is no question that the time limitation is one of the most diffi cult problems facing the educational ministry of the church. To accom plish something educationally in one or two hours a week demands the utmost from everyone involved. Cer tainly we must make every minute of the time we have count. We must think in terms of packing every mo ment available to us with meaning ful instruction and activity. This will demand careful and prayerful preparation as well as performance on the part of all of our leaders. Also, we must seek for ways in which we can extend the teaching time of the church. This can be ac complished through an additional hour on Sunday which is not being used, week-day classes and club ac tivities, as well as home study groups. *Rev.

Both par ents and children can improve their methods of facing difficulty if they choose. Four general possibilities of conduct are open to everyone who meets a difficulty. One teacher has compared meeting difficulties to traveling in a car and coming upon a road block. We may detour around it; we may turn back; we may just park there; or we may decide that it is possible for us to go ahead as far as we wish to go, that this road, block is for something farther up ahead. When as a family and as individuals we use the method of direct attack, we may decide that the block is not really insurmountable. Perhaps we find that it was a mirage and not a real block. Demos thenes used this method when he refused to allow his speech defect to keep him from becoming a great orator. Before we adopt this method, how ever, we need to evaluate the situation before us. We would all see the fallacy of driving ahead every time we approach a road block. Sometimes we need to change our goals, and at other times, change the route over which we are trying to reach these goals. The little child who bangs on the screen and then pounds his head on the door until he cracks the glass panel has a worthy goal—he wants to get in to mother—but he is using the wrong tactics. It would be better for him to detour and go around to the kitchen door where mother will hear him. Sometimes we and our children are blocked by life’s problems and just seem to give up. Someone has called it a sit-down strike against maturing. The one who seems so blocked in his spiritual life that he is making no progress may give in to a sense o f frustration and remain a mere child in the Lord, needing to be fed milk instead o f strong meat. Very often such persons become critical and sharp-tongued. They do not realize that it is unde sirable to escape from our challenging experiences by giving up and using our energy to find fault. As Christian parents we must try to steer our children away from the luxury o f any kind o f self- pity or other inadequate method of handling our difficulties. Job was permitted to be greatly tried and tested as an object lesson by Satan to show what the grace o f God can accomplish in one of His servants. On a much smaller scale we may have opportunity to demonstrate to those near us the power of God which enables us to meet the prob lems and difficulties in the lives of the members of our family. The One who notes the sparrow’s fall is not unconcerned about any problem to even the least of His children. Used by permission, Moody Press, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. From GROWING WITH OUR CHILDREN by Gertrude Nystrom. I J udson T aylor was once visiting with a new ** missionary at a Chinese inn. Filling a glass with water, he struck the table with his fist. Then he said, “ You will be struck by the blows of many troubles and sorrows in China, but remember, they will only splash out of you what is in you. Out of some the blows of circumstance splash complaint and bitterness, but out of others joy and victory. It only brings out what is in you.” Edwin Markham expressed a similar thought in his well-known poem in which he shows that defeat is as powerful as victory to let glory out of the soul. He compares such experiences in human beings with great oak trees straining in the wind. But as they strain, the trunk sends down deeper roots on the windward side, and the boughs drink in new beauty. Adults, however, are not apt to react to diffi culty and disappointment in these mature Christian ways unless they have learned early the meaning of trials and troubles, and have been helped to develop in their ability to handle problem situa tions. Since emotional habits are so easily copied in a home, it is apparent that if our children are to have good emotional control, the parents will need to be well-adjusted themselves. Butler, in The Way of All Flesh, expressed the feeling that some chil dren would be better off if they came into the world with no chance o f parental training. The charge may be justifiable in some cases, but we know that God intended the long period o f infancy in the human race to be a time for wise training. In most cases, the children who seem so admirable are so because of wholesome training by their parents. It would hardly be possible to overemphasize the importance of your influence on your children. Most o f us have watched the surf breaking on the shore and have observed the way in which the waves start toward shore, gently and at some dis tance, gathering momentum as they hurry along. So it is with the confidences of little children. They come to us with their problems, slowly at first, then perhaps more dramatically in some crisis, and then as suddenly as the surf they withdraw, and are gone away from us. But the parent, like the sea shore, must always be there waiting for the coming o f the tide. One o f the first principles which parents need to accept is that the problems and difficulties o f chil dren of any given age are as great to them as any major crisis is to an adult. Unless we frequently remind ourselves of this fact we are" apt to dismiss a lot of their troubles with a shrug, and might even be tempted to say aloud, “ Oh, forget it. Wait till you have some real trouble to worry about.” It is very important that we realize, and show our chil dren that we realize, that every one o f their difficul ties is real; that some are more serious than others, but that all problems have a solution. 15 AUGUST, 1966 PROPHECY FEATURE Editor Charles L. Feinberg, Th.D., Ph.D. Dean of Talbot Theological Seminary The Exceeding Power of ANTICHRIST by Gordon Chilvers G od has left us in no doubt about the future his tory of the nations of the world. As far back as the time of Daniel, He revealed facts which tells us events which will soon take place here. In his vision Daniel looked to the River Ulai and saw a ram with two horns (Dan. 8 :3 ). This ram repre sented the Medo-Persian empire, that was then about to arise and rule the world. God gave Cyrus strength “ so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand.” While Daniel was gazing at the ram, he saw a he- goat come from the west. “ The great horn that is be tween his eyes is the first king,” the angel interpreter said. Horns indicate strength and eyes point to intelli gence. This was Alexander, known as the greatest gen eral in the ancient world and well called “ Alexander the Great.” Its speed was so phenomenal that it “ touched not the ground” as it seemed to fly over it. Alexander’s at tacks were so swift and vigorous that they carried everything before them. He “ came to the ram . . . and ran unto him in the fury of his power.” “ There was no power in the ram to stand before him,” for the fury of Alexander’s army was so great. Inevitably, “ the he-goat waxed very great.” But it was only for a time. Strong as Alexander was, he was only in the prime of life, 32, when he was suddenly cut off. He was not overcome by the king of another nation, but by the king of terrors — death. His kingdom was at once divided. “Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.” Alexander had no direct successor and his generals ruled his kingdom in four parts. But they did not have Alexander’s power. He was a genius; they were not. They quarrelled among themselves and soon the empire collapsed. Following these generals was the wicked man Antio- chus Epiphanes. “Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great.” A number of in cidents in Antiochus’s life, as well as details in his character, agree with the prophecy. Yet he is but a foreshadowing of the even more wicked one who is to come. For we are expressly told that the vision relates to “ the latter time of their kingdom, when the trans gressors are come to the full.” “At the time of the end shall be the vision,” the time when the earth will be dominated by the outrageously wicked man, the Anti christ. Antichrist will be victorious in his battles. He “waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land” or “ the land of the glory,” we read. After his conquests in the south and east he will go for the prize, Palestine, the country that Ezekiel (20:6) calls “ the glory of all lands.” The land will then be extraordinarily prosperous. Up to the beginning of this present century, crops in Palestine were tiny. But since so many Jews have re turned to their country, considerable strides have been made in cultivating it, and the land has become very fruitful again. Jewish skill, together with the natural fertility of the soil, will bring a striking increase in the community’s wealth. The vast resources contained in the Dead Sea are largely untouched and these will be gathered in by millions of dollars. Increased wealth will give Palestine great attraction and Antichrist will make it the center of his territorial aims. Antichrist will be a cruel tyrant. He is described as “ a king of fierce countenance.” Nebuchadnezzar showed the sort of thing a man of this description can do. Three Hebrew youth, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego re fused to bow down to the image that he had set Up. Full of fury against them, he commanded the men to “ heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated” (Dan. 3:19) before the three God fearing men were thrust into it. Antichrist will know neither mercy nor love; instead he will rule all nations with a rod of iron. This man will be intellectually brilliant, “ under standing dark sentences.” The word for “ dark sen tences” is used of the unanswered riddle that Samson put to the Philistines (Jud. 14:12); and also of the 16 THE KING'S BUSINESS
