Starting with our next issue, January 1983, which begins our 31st year of publication, we will take up a new theme for our lead article, and it will run for two years. We believe the subject A Christian Worldview will interest you and it will present material that you may not have seriously considered. I will write this series out of a sense of urgency, for I am deeply concerned over some of the large issues facing the world, our nation, and our churches. I will begin with an essay on the creator God.

We are pleased that Carl Ketcherside will present a series on Renewal through Recovery during the next year.

Ouida says that hundreds of you are due to renew your subscription this month. We always run short on January issues because so many are slow in renewing, and when they do they request back issues. If you will take the time to renew now, it will help us all. And remember you can send four or more other names along with yours, new subscribers along with your renewal, for only 3.00 per name. That helps us to do more good. Many of our most appreciative readers were introduced to the journal in this way.

If you will send us a check for 21.95, we will put a copy of The Stone-Campbell Movement: An Anecdotal History of Three Churches by Leroy Garrett in the mail to you the same day. The response thus far to the book has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic, and we believe you too will appreciate it.

When you move it is imperative that you send us both your old and new addresses.

Since it is renewal time for many of you, please let us know if money is a consideration. We will keep you on our list and you can pay later or never. We do not want anyone to drop out because of money, for we are not doing this for money. Ask Ouida!
