READER'S EXCHANGE

 

I prize your Restoration Review. I have read and re-read the bound volume, The Hope of the Believer. I continue to ponder your series on “What the Church of Christ Must Do. . .” and affirm that we must ALL do them. I have wakened in the night smiling over your “Be ye of an harborous disposition.” —Frank S. Smith, Piney Flats, Tn.

Cecil Hook always has something important to say, and he has the grace to say it graciously as well as pointedly. His name is not Hook for nothing.—Frankie Marie Shanks, Poplar Bluff, Mo.

You have left your mark on the Church of Christ, or I should say you have done your part to clean up our act.—Woodrow Wilson, El Paso, Tx.

As a physician I have high regard for the care you gave Mother Pitts. I can testify your action was far above the norm, but from what I read and hear the norm is not your goal.—Dr. Daniel Retzer, Rockford, Il.

I am sorry to learn that you must cease publication in December, 1992, but I know all good things must come to an end. I have been a subscriber since 1975 and have looked forward to each issue. I am sure the Lord will bless you and Ouida as the years go by.—Herbert Pollock, Indianapolis, In.

I was touched by your beautiful tribute to Mother Pitts. I have often thought of you and prayed for you, as my own family was in a similar situation. Only a few days after Mrs. Pitts’ death my grandmother, who was bedfast and had to be cared for like an infant, went to be with the Lord. It was a sad time, but, like you, we can rejoice. You have meant so much to me in my Christian walk. May God continue to bless you.—Cathy Jody, Corbin, Ky.

I shall miss your monthly visits and your incisive mind, as well as the spellbinding word pictures. —Walter Jones, Sand Springs, Ok.

Thanks for “filling my cup”!—Linda Kelley, Chattanooga, Tn.

You and brother Carl Ketcherside have been (are) a blessing to me. I, along with many others, am saddened to see the cessation of Restoration Review.—Mrs. Royce Griffith, Forrest City, Ar.

Since returning home I’ve thought of the conversations we’ve had. I’ve thought of the study which you have prepared and which is due to be published in “The Australian Christian,” and I have thought of you as I’ve read “Restoration Review.”—Ken Masterson, Victoria, Australia

(Our Australian brother is referring to the study guide I prepared for the World Convention of Churches of Christ to be used in their assembly in Long Beach in August. In support of the WCCC it is my understanding that the study guide, called “God’s Dominion from Sea to Sea,” will also be published by the Christian Standard (Independent Christian Church) and The Disciple (Disciples of Christ).—Ed.)
