TheMessage Through the Bibl The KING’S BUSINESS in 50,000 homes in 1935 — is this a w or thy ob jective? The Bible Institute of Los Angeles be lieves that it is, for the following reasons: The Mission of the Magazine Is to Exalt Christ No one is ever asked to write for the KING’S BUSINESS who does not believe in the infallible Word of God, who does not seek to magnify God the Father, the person, work, and coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in the present practical life. The magazine, like the Bible Institute of Los Angeles which it represents, is Christ-centered, endeavoring at all times to accord Him the place of pre-eminence. Among the men and women who hold such views are some of the ablest writers and preachers of the present day. Scan the following partial list of the contributors whose work appeared in the KING’S BUSINESS during the past several months, and you will be able, at a glance, to judge the caliber of this Bible Family Monthly.

The Manner of Approach Appeals to A ll Ages Little children find two pages in the magazine that are all their own. Their parents and teachers discover also fresh ways of presenting the truth to youth—whether in the Sunday-school or in the home. The inexperienced or the mature leader locates classified material for a live group meeting. The busy pastor discovers rich suggestiveness in homiletical form or in careful book review. The perplexed inquirer receives sympathetic answers to heart appeals. The man who reads his newspaper alongside his Bible is helped to see new fulfillments of the inspired Record, and new beauties in familiar scriptures. The Christian who sets apart a daily quiet time for worship— whether that period be spent with the family or in the privacy of one’s own room—delights in the daily portions which the magazine provides. The one who craves narrative comes upon many a restful or challenging bit that will live in the memory for days. In short—the aim of the KING’S BUSINESS is to offer a message that will appeal to readers of all ages and in all moods. With this object in view, the writing is done in a spirit of prayer, and the work is assembled and sent forth in continued intercesson.
