OFFICE NOTES

 

It is our plan to increase the size of this journal to at least 24 pages per month for 1977, except for July and August. This will give us an extra 40 pages for the year, which is equivalent to two extra 20-page issues. At the end of the year they will all be bound in a single volume of at least 240 pages. We plan to follow the new theme of Principles of Unity and Fellowship. October 1977 will be a special issue since it will be in celebration of our 25th anniversary in publishing Bible Talk-Restoration Review.

The extra four pages each month will give us a little more room to do more things. Ketcherside’s Pilgrimage of Joy will not only continue, but it will be an extra page longer each month. The part of his life that Carl will be telling next year will be most appropriate for the theme we are following.

Our new subscription rates for 1977 will be 3.00 per year or 5.00 for two years. We will still offer the club rate for those who elect to share the journal with others for 1.50 per name in clubs of five or more. For 240 pages of reading, 3.00 is still very low, but we are going to try to hold it at that price, at least through 1977. Those paid in advance will not of course be affected by the new rates.

At the end of this year we will proceed to put all of 1975-76 issues of Restoration Review into a bound volume, entitled The Word Abused. In size and format it will match the other seven bound volumes we have issued. If you have ordered this, it will be sent to you with invoice enclosed when it is ready. If you would like to have this bound volume, we urge you to place your order now, for already our advance orders have been more than ever before. Bound volumes for 1967, 1968, 1970 are still available at 3.50. Double volumes for 1971-72 and 1973-74 are 4.50 and 4.95.

Edward Lewis, 7410 Raleigh St., Westminster, CO 80030 has prepared a helpful booklet on True Christianity that you would do well to read and then pass on to someone else. He is asking only mailing expenses, which is 40 cents, first-class. It stresses the spiritual life of the believer. He says he wrote it because of Calvary.

If you have any of the first seven volumes of Mission Messenger, please contact Stan McDaniel, Johnson Bible College, Knoxville 37920, who needs them for research. Once he is through with them, he will deposit them with our historical society in Nashville to be used in perpetuity.

With Christmas approaching you might want a copy of the Children’s Living Bible for a child in your life. Many sharp, colorful pictures, a handsome volume, boxed and wrapped in cellophane. The price has recently increased, but we still have them at the old price of 6.45.

We will send you 18 assorted back issues of this paper, dating back to the 1960’s for only 3.00. We recommend these to our new readers, so that they can get a feel of what we’ve been saying through the years.

Some of our popular paperbacks: Schaeffer’s The Mark of the Christian (1.25) and The God Who is There (3.50); Shirley Boone’s One Woman’s Liberation (1.75) and Pat Boone’s A New Song (1.75); Elton Trueblood’s The Yoke of Christ (1.95).
