T H E K I N G ’ S B U S I N E S S A Personal Word from the Editor
November, 1941
; This is the time of the year in which we learn just how widespread will be the ministry of THE KING’S BUSINESS in the next twelve months. Why do we say this? More subscriptions expire at the end of the year than at any other timé. If our friends renew promptly, and if they also, send in subscriptions for their friends, it means that for a whole year the blessing of the magazine’s regu lar publication is assured. Your editors are making every effort that
prayer and hard.work can accomplish to make the issues of the following months unusually rich in- spiritual values. For example, the articles listed below have been prepared for use in the December number— and these of course are in addition to the. regular departments including editorials, news comments, lesson helps, etc., that each issue con tains. As you read this list, you will see that the needs,of the whole family have been in mind, and indeed this will be our object for every issue of 1 9 4 2 .

Unless you are yourself a publisher, probably you have no adequate idea of what a little coopera tion RIGHT NOW can mean in easing the burden of publication in the face of mounting costs of paper and labor. In fact, we MUST have an in
creased circulation in order to be able to continue on the present basis. I urge you most earnestly to give this matter your prayerful attention. Further information appears on pages 428 and 429 of this issue.

Africa, China, Canada, Hawaii, Alaska, and more than a dozen states of the Union. Fifteen students are the sons or daughters of parents who were themselves trained at Biola, Twelve different denominations as well as in terdenominational churches are repre sented in the student body. In a number of cases, several students have come from the same church. For example, there are eight representatives of the congregation of which the Biola Alumni President is the pastor. Great responsibility is placed upon the Institute for the training of these dedicated lives. No one of them is asked
they do so as the result of deliberate thought and personal submission to the leading of the Lord, it is gratifying to note that an increasing number of young people are turning away from the mere fascination of earning money, and are seeking wisdom in the art of winning souls. At least this observation has been made this fall at the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. Welcomed to this in stitution in September was the largest number of students to' be enrolled In eighteen years! Of the 454.who came, 188 were newcomers and 266 were re turning students.

But that day has passed in most sections Df this country. More positions, some of them highly lucrative, are offered today than have been available in many a year. Christian youth often find this condition confusing or challenging. While no criticism should be directed to tho-e who accept employment when
