one to think it is better than ever, in scope and spiritual richness. We are paying more for nearly everything else these days. Most secular maga zines cost more—some of t h e m as much as 100% more (Saturday Eve ning Post, Ladies Home Journal, etc.). The King’s Business is still only $1.00 a year in the United States, arid only 25 cents extra in Canada and foreign countries. Couldn’t you and I get together and see to it that we get this good Bible Family Magazine for all our relatives that we-send gifts to? I want to,send it to our pastor and several mission aries besides. They’ll enjoy the helps for ministers and Christian workers, and the many good, quotable bits. Nell and Rich will like it for the Junior K i n g ’s Business department
So, thinking about Christmas, .I’ve been casting around for something that would be of extra special value for extra low cost. .I think The King’s Business is it! 'You've u s e d it in your Sunday-school and youth work for years; in fact; it was you who in troduced me to its weekly object ,les- sons. I read somewhere that as a service to Christians, in this time of interna tional emergency, the publishers are offering the magazine this year at no increase in cost—though the advance sheets of the magazine would lead

Dear Sis: ,«*/ I’ve been wanting to write to you about Christmas, but I mailed last week’s letter without evdh mention ing it. Christmas is going to be different this year—not just ours, but every body’s. - ; I think it is going to be a lot less extravagant so far as Christian peo ple are concerned. And that’s as it should be. With our men in camps or overseas, this is no time for our insisting on nonessentials at home. I know you feel that way about it. At the same time, it is mighty im portant that we .have for ourselves— and that we give, too—the kind of things that will build s p i r i t u a l /strength. Have you rioticed that any number of national leaders sëem to be awakening to this need? I saw a s t a t e m e n t of Présidant Roosevelt’s ; that was published in a letter of- his riot long ago and I copied down a few sentences of it: ‘Nothing but the prior demands of the war on our resources should -.intervene to curtail or inter rupt the marshaling of the spiritual forces of the nation. . » . Perhaps not since the Fathers of the Constitution established freedom of religion have our people had greater need for a re turn to the teachings of the Master. God speed you i n .knowing His will and spreading His message.’
