We are pleased to have sold several sets of Millennial Harbinger, a 41 volume work by Alexander Campbell, beautifully reproduced by College Press for $289.00, which is $61.00 below retail price to our readers only. If necessary, we might be able to arrange for you to pay for it in three payments at 30 day intervals
When your subscription expires you are notified by way of a hand stamp on your last copy, Your Sub Expires With This Issue. Until this appears you will continue getting the paper. Usually, but not always, Ouida sends still one more issue (if we have them to spare) with still another stamp, Final Notice, etc. Our operation is very simple and we don't have any plan for badgering folk to renew, but this device makes it clear enough when your sub has run out. We do urge you to renew promptly if you opt to stay with us. Subs are $3.00 per year; $5.00 for two years; in clubs of 5 or more $1.50 per name per year, and we do all the mailing from here. If you want a bundle for yourself, the price is 25 cents a copy for ten or more.
We are pleased that some of our new readers take advantage of our offer of 18 assorted back issues for only $3.00, including postage, for this gives them a feel of what we've been saying in years past.
When you move we must have both your old and new address. When you don't do this, we have to write you at your new address and ask you where you moved from! This is because our sub list is arranged not by names but by zip codes. We are very thankful that nearly everyone does this. Too, the postal people are in some areas becoming hard taskmasters. We got a return from a small Oregon town because we did not have "St." following the name of the street. All else was correct. The subscriber's paper was destroyed and we had to pay 25 cents for the notice.
Randy Becton's "You're Not Alone" is one of the most relevant articles to appear recently in Firm Foundation (Jan. 11, 1977). It is a special message to those suffering from cancer, copies of which can be had by writing to the author at Box 2439, Abilene, Tx. 79604. Randy himself is afflicted with lymphoma and has undergone surgery several times and two years of chemotherapy. He is now in remission and is praying for further remission. He has special concern for his young children. He shares some truths that his shattering illness has brought home to him: (1) Cancer only sharpens the focus on what is already a fact with us all: life is as a vapor and everyone is terminal; (2) We can have a security that even cancer cannot threaten, Jesus Christ; even if the earthly tent is folded by way of cancer, a dwelling that is eternal is ours; (3) When we pray amidst serious illness, we should tell God exactly how we feel and exactly what we want; (4) Always we are to remember that we are not alone; even "in the valley" he is there. The article pulsates with warmth and meaning and it should prove to be a blessing to any believer who is seriously ill.

Gospel Tidings is a paper emanating from the non-Sunday School Churches of Christ. It now has a new editor, Larry Branum, 1200 N. Loop, Austin, Tx. 78756. By writing to him you can get a sample copy. Larry has for a long time been interested in the oneness of all God's children, and he has been instrumental in putting together some effective unity meetings. Change along these lines is not so apparent in any of our groups as among these brethren.
