READER'S EXCHANGE

 

I was surprised and sad to see that your The Stone-Campbell Movement is out of print. I gave my copy to missionaries who had just returned from the Philippines, who were delighted to get it. Since I am in my 80’s I probably will never get another copy, even if it is reprinted. Thanks for the enjoyment I have had through the years of Restoration Review.—Florence Bonham, Columbus, Oh.

Thank you for blessing our family and all whom you’ve reached over the years. To pilfer Bush’s paradigm of “a thousand points of light,” you and your paper are one of the brightest.—Pat Flynn, Nashville, Tn.

I am now with an instrumental church. I am amazed how much the instrumental and non-instrumental churches are alike. The estrangement over the instrument is sad indeed. The more fellowship we have with each other the more we will realize our similarities, which is due to a common parentage. Pray for me that Christian unity will always be my polar star.—Randall Massey, Howard, Pa.

What you are saying in “What Must the Church of Christ Do to be Saved” has needed to be said for a long time. We hope many changes will take place because of it.—Ken and Ramona Brown, Paradise, Ca.

We have been doing a lot of sharing with a friend who is experiencing the typical treatment accorded those in the Church of Christ who begin to think for themselves. He was not acquainted with the work that you and Carl Ketcherside have done over the years, so I introduced him and he can’t get enough! How many lives you and Carl have blessed and freed over the years!—James Ledbetter, Birmingham, AL.

The Spirit is moving among Churches of Christ, the winds of change are blowing. I hope it is not too late.—Tony Thompson, Murray, KY.

Your series on “What Must the Church of Christ Do to be Saved?” is as thought-provoking as anything I’ve read. It should be reprinted in our church bulletins. I especially like the proclamation of repentance, and endorse it wholeheartedly.—Chuck Weinsheimer, Doylestown, Oh.

On what the Church of Christ must do to be saved, right on, Leroy! I’ll sign the proclamation!—Virginia Adams, Las Cruces, NM

I don’t see how you can cut off your paper entirely upon retirement. You won’t be happy to do that, now will you? I wonder what Ouida does for exercise. Does she take walks while you take runs? She makes one helluva assistant editor and secretary. (Publish that one!)—Joan Morrison, Columbus, Oh.

(Yes, I probably will not be happy if I quit writing entirely. I’m thinking about what to do about that. Ouida gets exercise aplenty by climbing the stairs all day to her mother’s room—and by guarding the cardinal’s nest!—Ed.)
