READER'S EXCHANGE

 

Because of our belief that there are indeed Christians in other churches we have moved to another denomination, a Jesus-centered fellowship rather than church-centered. Still deep in my heart is a profound grief that I can’t explain, except that I grew up in the Church of Christ. I suffer coldness and rejection of family and friends, but God is my judge. My hope is that the veil will be lifted, and for that reason I am grateful for your effort to reach those I cannot—LaNita Hafer, St. Helens, Or.

Even though I never met Mother Pitts I felt I knew her and we grew to love her through your writings. It is only fitting that she pass on before the paper is stilled, so that those of us who got to know and love her through the paper could read about her beautiful passing. Thank you.—Dora and Carol Bailey, Ballwin, Mo.

Since you close shop in December some of your readers may want to know of other journals that deal with reformation. You might tell them about my paper, The Reformer.—Buff Scott, Box 10074, Phoenix, Az. 85064-0074

(Yes, why don’t you give Buff’s paper a try? I have been reading it from its inception. The sub rate is only $4.00 a year, or he’ll send you a sample copy upon request.—Ed.)

It doesn’t seem possible that I am sending in renewals for the last time after all these years. Your paper has been a welcomed mend that visits month after month, year after year. I am enriched by her knowledge and wisdom and can pass the same along to others. I will cherish her visits these final few months, and when she is at last put to rest I can console myself that her labors will follow after.—Harold Shasteen, Centerville, Il.

Who will take up your prophetic role when Restoration Review ceases?—Michael Hall, Grand Junction, Co.

Just one more year? You’ll just have to publish four times a year after that, or something. We can’t do without you!—Virginia and George Adams, Las Cruces, NM

Sorry to see this come to a close. Thank you for all the spiritual stimuli you’ve given us through the years and helping people who disagree to do so in an agreeable manner.—Phyllis Walker, Ellettsville, In.

Thank you for your many years of encouragement to live a Spirit-filled life.—Gene and Joyce Bohenblust, McPherson, Ks.

I was moved by your report of the death of Mother Pitts. I pray for you and Ouida many more years of productive service in His name.—Paul DuBois, Arlington, TX.

(We are encouraged by all the letters expressing appreciation for our labor of love in your behalf all these years. Yes, we will be missing each other. Virginia and George Adams have a point. We should come up with some way of keeping in touch, at least occasionally. The Lord will lead.—Ed)
