OFFICE NOTES

 

There is a sister in Wichita who had prepared herself to use braille. She is interested in helping the blind in some way. If you have any suggestions for her, write to Mrs. Tillie Miller, 6528 E. Murdoch, Wichita, Ks. 67206. She is an enterprising lady. A coach’s wife, she studied Greek with Steve Eckstein while her husband worked with the university in Portales.

We plan to enlarge Restoration Review for next year, with a minimum of 200 pages over against 160 pages for this year. The subscription price will be 2.00 instead of 1.00, with group subs still going at 1.00 for five or more. New subs and renewals through Dec. 31 will be 1.00.

For 2.95 we will send you The Living New Testament in handsome paperback. This is the popular Living Bible. The entire Bible is also now in paperback, entitled The Way and is especially appealing to youth, with its flashy introductions and pictures. Only 5.95. A children’s edition of the entire Living Bible is 4.95, and it has colorful pictures. the best I’ve ever seen in a Bible.

I would urge upon you Thomas Campbell’s Declaration and Address for only 1.50. This handsome, clear print account of one of history’s great documents is indeed a blessing.

You can also read deeply in restoration history in the two-volume edition of Millennial Harbinger for 9.95. It is a handsome set, ideal for a gift to a lover of our history.

A Methodist church in Ohio is doing the unusual thing of sending Restoration Review to 400 high school or college students free of charge. If the student will simply send us his name and address, marked “gift stub,” his name will be added to our list of readers. Groups of names form the same school, whether university, Bible college or Christian college (or a high school), is all right so long as each student decides for himself that he wants the paper.

That Which Is Perfect is a 15-page insertion of the Christian Chronicle, neatly done in color, with pictures of the six authors who treat 1 Cor. 13:10 on the cessation of spiritual gifts. They are John McRay, Roy Osborne, Jim Reynolds, Rubel Shelley, Carl Spain, and Leroy Garrett. .25 each. In my article I argue that it is perilous to contend that 1 Cor. 13 teaches the cessation of the gifts anytime this side of heaven itself.

We have five volumes of Restoration Review in hardback editions. These are matching volumes, all in colorful dust jackets. 3.00 each. The double volume for 1 971-72 will be issued next year. You should reserve your copy now.

For 3.00 we will send you Carl Ketcherside’s The Parable of Telstar, a kind of “The kingdom of heaven is like telstar” approach. There are other essays as well, emerging from campus confrontations and unity forums. This is all new stuff, not reprints of material already published. My favorite is the telstar parable, which is just great. I read it to my boys, hoping that they’d see how Jesus would make parables out of things within their experience if he were now among us.
