We recommend The Unity of the
Spirit by Carl Ketcherside, which is a
permanent book containing all the issues of Mission
Messenger for 1963. This represents some of
Mr. Ketcherside’s most brilliant essays on the meaning of
religion and the nature of Christian fellowship. The price is only
$2.95. Because of a special pre-publication offer, this office will
send along with this book the monograph by Leroy Garrett on Alexander
Campbell and Thomas Jefferson, or one year’s
subscription to Restoration Review,
for yourself or someone else. But we must have your order at once,
for the deadline on this offer is March 1.
New Possibilities for Disciples
and Independents by A. T. DeGroot is a 112
page paperback which is most descriptive of the conservative
Christian Church, which DeGroot calls “Church of Christ No.2”.
If you are interested in how a religious body divides and becomes a
plurality of denominations, something that our people are experienced
in, then this book will hold peculiar interest to you. Some
references are made to “Church of Christ No.1” by way of
comparison. $1.25
The Human Rift by Noel Keith is another little book (125 pages) that will prove edifying. The “rift” is the alienation that comes between man and God because of sin, which in turn causes frustration and anxiety. Keith points his reader to the “finding of one’s self” through self-denial. He speaks wisely of the need to escape the deification of desire, realizing that desire cannot be eliminated completely, or at least this is not the proper approach. It is only $2.50 in hard cover.
If there is any error in
our record of your subscription, please inform us. You may know that
according to our record your subscription has run out if your copy is
stamped “Your Sub Expires With This Issue.” Your
subscription is valid until this notice appears.
When you are renewing,
please inform us that it is a renewal.
Otherwise
we treat all names sent to us as new subscriptions, which requires
the cutting of a plate.
It is very important that
you inform us of change of address, giving both the old
and new
address.
It costs us ten cents for each change of address supplied by the post
office, which is prohibitive for our budget. If your address is
incorrect, please inform us.
We are gratified with the
response to our last issue. Hundreds of new subs have come in. Since
this is a new beginning for Restoration
Review, now
that it is issued on monthly basis, we need your help as never
before. We want readers from all backgrounds of Christian Churches
(Disciples, Independents, Churches of Christ) since much of what we
have to say concerns them especially. But we also want the journal to
go to anyone who is searching for more light, whatever his religious
persuasion, if any at all. We make no claim of having all the
truth, or
even most of it, but we are in the search for truth, and we are eager
to share with all those who are like-minded.
For this reason Restoration
Review will
always present material of general interest to the religious thinker.
Much time and thought goes into the production of every issue, and
many sources are drawn upon in order to present something substantial
for our readers. But all this will bear fruit only to the extent that
the paper is circulated and read.
We solicit your
warm-hearted support. Show the paper to others. Share your
copy. Make up lists of names at only 50 cents each. Some write us that all
they have to do to get subscriptions is show their copy of Restoration
Review.
Subscribe for others that
believe in thinking for themselves, but who need encouragement. In
clubs of six or more the rate is only 50 cents a year per name. Many
have sent us $3 and six names. All of our readers can do this; many
of you may choose to send a longer list.
If you have friends that
would appreciate receiving a sample copy of this paper, send us their
names and addresses and we will see to it that they receive an
examination copy.
To some of you this issue
of Restoration
Review will
be a sample copy. If you wish to subscribe, send $1 to us at
1201 Windsor Dr., Denton, Texas,*
and your name will go into our files for a full year of the journal in addition
to this sample number.
SPECIAL NOTICE ON BUNDLES:
Anyone ordering Restoration
Review in
multiple number (two or more each month) will receive his copies in a
separate wrapper. This not only gives you extra copies to pass to
others, but it keeps them cleaner and fresher. We encourage more of
you to send us orders for bundles at only ten cents per copy. This
means that for $10 we will send you ten copies monthly for the year,
or for $2 we will send you two copies each month (in an envelope).
Only multiple subs will be mailed in a wrapper.
Bear in mind that all
readers are invited to share in Truth
Seekers’ FORUM by
sending questions or comments to Curtis Lydic, 1703 Loop 288, Denton,
Texas. Editor Lydic will not have room to run everything sent in, but
everything is given careful attention and a representative selection
is made. So get into the act. Keep him busy. College profs do not
have anything else much to do anyhow!
The editor plans to
attend the fellowship forum in Wichita, Kansas, March 5 and 6. For
information on this meeting contact Henry Hill, 1819 W. Douglas, in
Wichita. The editor will share in a forum on unity for all segments
of disciples at Brite School of Religion, Texas Christian University,
Fort Worth, on March 17. This is a luncheon gathering beginning at
11:30. The editor will remain to address one of Prof. A. T. DeGroot’s
classes in the afternoon. If you would like to get in on this
meeting, check with Jack A. Gardiner, Brite School of Religion,
T.C.U., Fort Worth, Texas.
Back numbers of the quarterly
Restoration
Review are available at three for $1 or ten for $3, while the supply
lasts.

How do you like this 20-page issue of the new,
monthly Restoration Review? Presently we are offering this
journal for only $1 per annum, or in clubs of six or more at only
50 cents for each name. This we can do only because some
concerned disciples are willing to give a little more in order
for this journal to circulate for a price within the easy reach
of all. Let us take advantage of this by giving this paper the
widest circulation possible. Here is a ministry that has for its
purpose the cementing of brotherly relations among all disciples
of the Master and the enhancement and liberation of the Christian
mind. Join our ministry by sending us a list of names at once.
