Advance Information Regarding Some Attractive Improvements Notwithstanding The King’s Business has the largest ; These changes will, of course, involve considerable circulation of any religious monthly magazine in the extra expense—as explained in the October issue—but United States, and many of the “ K. B. Family” tell us we are sure those of The King’s Business Family who that it ‘ ‘ absolutely could not be improved,’ ^ y e t we fcave responded to our appeal, either with two new sub- have felt for a long time that there were some improve- scriptions or a contribution of One Dollar, will feel ments that could be made and should be made, and amply repaid in the increased attractiveness and help- have been planning to bring them to pass. fulness of their magazine.
We have been especially encouraged by the splendid letters we have been receiving from the “ Defenders of the Faith’ ’, who have the matter of securing new sub scribers much on their hearts, and could wish that every reader were enrolled in this valiant “ Army of the Lord.” (See pages 701 and 746.) If you believe that The King’s Business has a needed message for a needy world then resolve to do your utmost to intro duce it to at least two persons who are not now ac quainted with it. What about your Minister, the Superintendent and Teachers in your Sunday School, other Ministers and Christian Workers, your Next Door Neighbor, or the Family Across the Street? If they are all subscribers, well and good. But if not—then keep after them until they are. You will be doing real missionary work, for surely the saints need its stimulating influence, for the strengthening of their faith, and the unsaved need the benefit of its soul-saving messages. The time is short! Our appeal to you is personal and definite. Remember all of our work is constructive and there are no commercial interests involved. All of our funds, from whatever source;they come,,can only be used to glorify God, and our work is all based on a statement of doctrine which rings true to the Whole Bible and the Old Bible, and can never be changed. Help us! ’ Help by service!
In the first p l a c e , we have been somewhat handi capped in our editorial comment on current events because, in order to get the Sunday School lesson helps to our subscribers in ample timé for use in preparing their lessons, we have had to close the forms two months in advance of thé date of issue. For instance, all matter for November was in the printer’s hands September 1. Obviously, under these; circumstances, it was not possible to comment upon really current events, Now we have found a way to overcome this difficulty by issuing all the S. S. lesson helps (both International and Whole Bible) as a Quarterly Supplement, eliminat ing them entirely from The King’s Business proper. This Supplement will positively not be sold separately, but can only be obtained in connection with a subscrip tion to the magazinelfi-both magazine and supplement being included in the subscription price of $1.25 per year. This plan will give us additional space for other feat ures,---such as a continued religious story, etc. The editor of ‘ ‘The Children’s Garden” is planning for some interesting things in connection with her depart ment;-which we are sure will please the wide circle of young folks who call themselves “ Gardeners,” and who have entered with such zest into the various Bible Study and Bible Story contests arranged for them by Mrs. Meader. The covers of the new magazine will be in colored inks on a white background, with à striking cartoon in colors on the front cover. The inside pages will be on heavier paper, greatly improving the legibility of the print.'
