THE KING’S BUSINESS
children for ruin here and eternal damna tion hereafter. You are moral monsters. The saddest feature in the present neglect and misuse and abuse o f the Lord’s day is. the way in which the children o f supposedly respectable and honorable parents are being brought up to have no real respect for the Lord’s day. When one thinks o f the future o f theSe children, his heart trembles. The whole underpinning o f their moral life is being weakened. Those boys and girls, now so sweet and attractive, are certain to go wrong. Many o f them will become a prey to the vilest vices, and their eternal future will be awful beyond description. Oh, you men and women who have put so little value upon this precious gift o f God, the Lord’s day, and have used it for your own pleasure instead o f for His glory and your own highest moral and spiritual devel opment, I call upon you from the depths o f my soul, after close observation o f fam ilies that I have known, and deep thought upon the subject, and much prayer, repent, repent, repent, repent today. The following is from a recipient o f T he K ing s B usiness ,, through the generosity o f a friend: “I am exceedingly grateful to you for sending me T he K ing ’ s B usi ness , and especially am I grateful to the generous ‘friend’ who has made this possible. I greatly value the magazine and thus appreciate such kindness. Will you please express this to the friend in my behalf.” Rev. A. J. Arthur, Capitol Hts., Md. : I have read carefully your paper for the past year, and feel that the subscription price is a dollar well invested; indeed, the riotes on the S. S. lesson by Dr. -Torrey are worth the price, to say nothing o f all' the other instructive and inspiring articles. May God bless you in your noble work of spreading the truth pf the Gospel o f our Lord Jesus.” , Bishop Sanford C. Yoder, Kalona, Iowa: ‘ I especially appreciate your helpful mag azine and rejoice because o f the stand you take to promulgate and defend the whole Gospel. May you have abundant grace to continue in the work.”
glory, and that is the supreme purpose o f the Lord’s day. Let ps never forget that the day' is “ the L ord ’ s Day,” that it belongs to Him. 1 Will you who have been neglecting and abusing the Lord’s day confess your sin and repeqt? Will you stop your working on this day? Will you stop your compell ing otjiers to work? Stpp your pleasure seeking, your automobiling, your reading secular books and papers, your idle think ing, and worse than idle gossip, and read only' the best books and think and talk about the things you ought to talk about, cultivate a Christian home life, go to the house o f God for public worship and instruction in the things o f God, and go to work in a refreshing occupation, that of saving souls? I appeal especially to fathers and mothers.^ You fathers and mothers who are not cultivating a proper observance o f the Lord’s day on the part o f your children and leading them by careful exam ple in that observance are bringing up your Rev. George H. Chambers, Bradford, R. I . : “ I am sending this note to let you know that I have dropped every preacher’s mag azine in the past.year that I might -give myself to the study o f T he K ing ’ s B usi ness . I told my church last Sunday morn ing in my sermon, as I quoted ‘The Menace o f the Movies,’ from the May number, that I would not be without T he K ing ’ s B usi ness magazine if it cost me $10. I am a poor man and need all the money I get, but I spoke the truth. I could better go' without clothing or something else than your magazine. It helps me in my preach ing; it helps me in my Bible study; it helps me in my Christian faith; it makes me a better man: a better preacher, and o f course a, better pastor.” Walter S. S.cott, Evailgelist, Taylor, Texas: “ The June number o f T he K ing ’ s B usiness has been received, and find it another feast o f good things and an arse nal o f Bible truth. The articles on Chris tian Science alone are worth the year’s subscription.’^
