READERS' EXCHANGE

 

I enjoy the Review more than anything else I read, with the possible exception of the Bible. I have tried with great diligence to find something with which I could disagree, but thus far have been unsuccessful . . . I really don’t understand the millennium. How about an article or even an entire year on the subject? --- Clyde E. Hopingardner, Boise, Idaho.

(There are many who find things with which to disagree, and with little effort! As for the millennium, I don’t understand it either, but I have a dear friend who does. Perhaps it is enough for us to be ready for it, however and whenever it comes. There you have my position in a single line- --- Ed.)

Sorry to be so late renewing. Have had company. The children gave us a 65th anniversary party on Oct. 17th. What a day! We still get meat from your journal. It is rich. --- Rupe and Tabitha Tipps, Essary Springs, Tn.

(The Tipps’ have been subscribers since we started back in 1952. --- Ed.)

You have the knack of causing us to look at ourselves honestly and that may not always be a pleasant thing to do. Praise the Lord, it is very needful for me and I can grow spiritually because of it. ---Nathan Hopson, Sweetwater, Tx.

Praise the Lord the “Church of Christ” is waking up in some areas of the country. Hope it will soon hit this area! --- Bob L. Howard, Myrtle Creek, Or.

Your writings renew my faith in men to know that there are still some who stand their ground in what they believe and are not afraid to tell it like it is. Sure miss reading another brother’s publication, Carl Ketcherside, who has also stirred me time and time again. I pray God will keep fellas like you around for a long time, to keep the church thinking. --- Bill Miller, Springboro, Oh.

Restoration Review is so refreshing and a beautiful reminder that there are those continuing to grow. Former Uptown Church of Christ and the Church of Christ, formerly 5th and Atlantic, have merged. It lifts me up to see congregations joining rather, than splitting. --- Elnor Mohr, Long Beach, Ca.

While I am not a prophet nor the son of a prophet I predict freely that a lot more men will become unable to live with their conscience by remaining silent and will start coming out of the woodwork to declare themselves. Let us hope that not many will begin to do it because it will become the popular thing. The question asserts itself everywhere in our day and it has to be discussed. Much of the discussion will consist of legal mouthings but once in awhile, in the most unlikely places, a truth will get through and folk will realize what it is all about. You cannot educate people and keep them enslaved forever. --- Carl Ketcherside, St. Louis, Mo.

Extend my subscription. I enclose check for amount of 10.00. I am 85 years of age and I like to read Restoration Review. --- Ealon O. Miller, Collinsville, Ok.

I have never left and do not consider myself to be a “defector.” Who told you that I am? I did not. In fact, the last time we were together --- in Denton when I was there talking about the Moonies --- I remember rather distinctly telling you that I had not gone over to the Moonies, but that I was still “just a Christian.” --- Warren Lewis, Rt. 1, Box 485, Red Hook, NY 12571.

(When we conclude that one is a “defector” from the Church of Christ, and there are more than a few of them around, we do not mean that they have necessarily defected from Christ. I am surprised that Warren would object to being described as one who has left the Church of Christ, but I am also pleased, and I gladly make the correction. --- Ed.)

We will soon begin another year and another volume. There will be a modest increase in our subscription price. This is a good time to renew your sub and send the paper to four of your friends, all for only $10.00. Some of our most enthusiastic readers have come to us in this way. You may have a friend who would appreciate being on our mailing list, who will never know of our ministry unless you take the initiative.
