If it is God's will I will celebrate my 93rd on May 16. I trust that Ouida's mother may join me. Join me in praying that the "Unorganic" church may rise above the spirit of self-righteous exclusivism and join those who are bouncing the message of Jesus Christ off of satellites to the hungry people of the world who are receiving it gladly. Christ's love knows no party lines. - Stewart Hanson, Sr., Long Beach, Ca.

(Mother Pitts did join you in celebrating her 93rd on May 16, and we will all join you in praying that our people will become more open and become more a part of the church catholic. - Ed.)

On our first trip to Berlin we were impressed with its beauty. Wide streets lined with trees reminded us of Paris. We stayed with a lovely Christian lady whose house is but 150 feet from the Wall. Looking over the Wall at the guards and barbed wire fences beyond, it gives one the feeling of being in a large, elaborate, and beautiful prison. But it doesn't seem to bother the Berliners, who go about their lives as if it were not there. -Dick Smith, Dallas, Tx.

Your book, The Stone-Campbell Movement, is a marvelous example of fair-minded history and of speaking the truth in love. All of us in the Movement should follow your example. - John Zachry, Disciples of Christ minister, Cheverly, Md.

Your writing has helped me immensely. It has brought me almost totally out of legalism and it feels so good. - Gordon Matthews, Manchester. Tn.

Your publication continues to lift me up, give me food for thought, and make me hope that my brethren in the Church of Christ will eventually accept all of God's saved people as fellow Christians in love. - Rebecca Smith, Ormand Beach, FL

I praise God for your diligent work. You continue to stimulate me. Quite often I find some of your articles saying what I have been wondering about already. That does not mean that we both might not be blind, but I would hope it means that we are of the same spirit and the same Word is teaching us. I am confident that is true. We stand before an infinite God. Praise Him! -Don Henry, Prineville, Or.

I was especially interested in your article on Jewish roots. I listen to radio pro-grams that are presented by Jewish believers on Nashville stations. Nothing impresses me more than hearing Jewish people affirm their faith in Jesus as Messiah. In fact envy their faith in that it appears to be genuine and complete trust in the Cross. - Larry Dotson, Centerville, Tn.
