DOWN HOME with CARL

 

My work in Escondido, California was thrilling to me. I spoke 17 times in six days. Each evening my theme dealt with the home and the average attendance was 300. Each morning I held an open question forum and approximately 100 persons were present daily. I addressed a meeting of Senior Citizens numbering about 100, spoke at two high schools and answered questions, addressed two luncheon meetings for ministers, and a Kiwanis Club luncheon at the Country Club. At the meeting of the Ministerial Alliance I developed the theme of unity based upon renewal through recovery of the apostolic proclamation, purpose and power … The bound volume of Mission Messenger for 1975 is off the press and all advance orders have been mailed out. Only 2200 copies were bound and they will not last out the year since this is the final edition of the paper and the books will be kept by a number of our readers as collector’s items. The cost is $3.50 for this attractive cloth-bound volume, and it may be ordered from Restoration Review.. The manuscript for a new book, Talks to Jews and Non-Jews, is nearing completion. It will feature my talks to Jewish business and professional men and my answers to their questions. The book will also contain a series of analytical talks on the letter to Hebrews in which I differ with a number of the brethren in my concepts … Many of you will be glad to hear that following completion of this book I plan, God willing, to produce a revised edition of The Twisted Scriptures. Those who wish to do so can be placed upon our permanent order list for all of my books. They will be sent as they come from the press with invoice enclosed … Please remember that a free copy of my book The Parable of Telstar will be sent to any college or university student requesting it. The request must contain the name of the school where enrolled … We invite you to ask for free copies of my reprint booklet called Equipping the Saints … I am looking forward to seeing a great many young people at the Ohio Teens for Christ Convention, to be held in Columbus, April 9,10. It will be my privilege to address the group several times … April 29 - 30 I will be at the Church of Christ, 3911 Main Street, Mineral Ridge, Ohio 44440 … May 5-7 will be my third appearance with the saints at Astoria, Illinois, where God has richly blessed our association in the past, and May 12-14 I will return to Solsberry, Indiana where my esteemed and qualified brother, James Root, serves with the brethren … I should like to suggest that those of you who read this take advantage of the opportunity to send Restoration Review as gifts to your friends. This is an age when men and women read, and we can supply them the kind of reading which will build them up in the most holy faith. When you have found something good, do not keep it to yourself, but share it. — W. Carl Ketcherside, 139 Signal Drive, St. Louis, Missouri 63121.
