OFFICE NOTES

 

Ray Miller, 4388 Rota Circle, Ft. Worth 76133, is a brother who seeks to earn a living even if he has to do it from a wheel chair. Through the years he has developed a dependable magazine subscription service. He has made some renewals for us to national publications, at no extra cost to us, and it helps him along. Why not let him attend to these chores for you? 

The republication of the Millennial Harbinger is now a reality, all 41 volumes, from 1830 to 1870. The College Press is to be commended for such an excellent job. I compared the new edition with my priceless set of originals, side by side, and was made to marvel at what science has done. Alexander Campbell would be delighted! By means of photographic reproduction the set is an exact reproduction, but the print has been slightly enlarged, making for easier reading. The hardback binding is beautiful and durable. What a blessing this is for those who want to make a serious study of our history. We sold several sets at the pre‑publication rate, and we are still prepared to make you a good deal at 289.00 for the complete set. We might be able to allow you to pay this out over three installments. Write us about it. What a bargain this is when you realize that each of these volumes, averaging about 700 pages, is easily worth 10.00 to 12.00 each. 

We are pleased that our bound volumes are as much in demand as they are. We are now in short supply of our 1967 volume. 1966 and 1969 are all gone. But we can still supply 1967, 1968, and 1970 (single volumes) at 3.50 each, and 1971‑72 and 1973‑74 (double volumes) at 4.50 and 4.95. The double volume for 1975‑76 is now being bound. If you have ordered it, it will be sent to you with invoice enclosed. We have had more advance orders for this one than ever before. We plan to double the number to be bound of this 1977 edition, which will be a single volume of 240 pages. It is not too early for you to place your order for it, but if you have ordered the last volume there will be a convenient way for you to reserve a copy of the next one on the invoice you will return to us with remittance. 

We can supply you with both volumes 1 and 2 of William Barclay's Daily Celebration, which are half-page (More or less) meditations on various subjects, one for each day of the year. Ouida and I ignore the calendar arrangements and read freely here and there and all the way through. Delightful and instructive! 5.95 each, and they can be purchased separately. 

Harry Boer's Short History of' the Early Church is a readable and understandable story of the church for the first few centuries. Whether it's the formation of the canon, the Apostles' Creed, or the persecutions against the church, the author lays out the facts, shelled! Only 3.20 

Those of you interested in Restoration history will want the Biography of John T. Johnson by John Rogers. 5.50. And we have McGarvey's Commentary on Acts for 5.95. Louis Cochran's paperback edition of The Fool of God, a historical novel on Alexander Campbell, is 3.75. 

You will find William Neil's The Difficult Sayings of Jesus exciting and refreshing. Thirty‑four subjects are treated, such as self‑discipline, marriage and divorce, church and state, renouncing the world, all of them pointing to some difficult saying. 4.95. 

One reason K. C. Moser's The Way of' Salvation keeps on selling after 40 years (and especially of late) is that many of us have just now come to appreciate what he was trying to tell us about the grace of God in this work on Romans. It is also being re‑reviewed these days, even though Cled Wallace and G. C. Brewer have reviews in this edition that is still available. It is dedicated to those "who have learned something of the riches of God's grace." It will be hard for you to believe that this could have come out of the Church of Christ of 1933. Perhaps it figures that recent reviews are on the negative side and from our far right wing. 3.50.
