After just reading your "Analysis of Legalism" we are compelled to let
you know we feel it is a masterpiece. Thank God for raising up men, such as you, to lead our
people out of the darkness of "law" and into His glorious grace; I know that most people reared
under such a system as we have been are full of fears because they are trusting in their own
righteousness and knowledge for justification, rather than in the saving power of Jesus Christ. I
believe that in this article you dealt with the very root of all, or most of our problems in the
Church of Christ, including that of fellowship. --Texas.

It is a thrill to see the truth as it constantly presses itself into vivid
existence before our eyes. The Spirit is at work. He is at work in our lives daily to bring truth out
before the eyes of the world. It seems that every time some important subject seems to work
itself into the church or into my life I see that you also are dealing with it at the same time. I can
see no other reason for it except that God's Spirit is desperately trying to bring God's people to
the Way with much truth and effectuality. I pray that you will vividly and plainly set forth the
positive truth about the Gospel and the law as you have done in the last
issue. --Illinois.

We have come to love the MISSION MESSENGER and look forward to
its coming monthly. The article "Covenant With Abraham" in the May issue was wonderfully
presented. It may interest you to know that I am a full blooded Hopi Indian, and that I am
engaged in translating the New Testament into our language; that we now have the entire N. T.
in typescript awaiting revision prior to printing. The Lord has blessed us wonderfully and we are
anxious to reach our people with the printed Word. --Arizona.
I truly have "my enjoys" for an hour when the little paper arrives. I not only like what you say,
but I like the way you say it. You keep an eye on yourself and thus keep consistent. I am sure you
have much opposition, but keep on with the growing, glowing, going gain you have
made. --Illinois.

I want to commend you especially for "Our Special Mission" in the June
issue, and for both the featured article and "The Bed of Procrustes" in the July number. My
heartfelt thanks to you for your tireless research and able presentation as you point out the spirit
that has blighted the Restoration Movement, and for your courage and wisdom in prescribing the
simple scriptural solution. --Colorado.

I have read the journals you sent and find many good ideas in them, but
to many people they would be quite a jolt. No use talking about the sects being hard to reach, for
"our" people are as hard, if not harder. Any new idea must of itself be wrong. I may not agree
with you in all things but that is not necessary for us to still be Christians, and to have
fellowship. Our Lord's prayer was not that all people, through all time, were to agree upon
everything, but it was that they were to agree upon His divinity. --Ohio

May I once again thank you for MISSION MESSENGER. I believe that it
will do a good work. It is now being read in homes where we are not known and may reap a
harvest among those who become interested in its contents. --Great Britain.

I have been following your recent series of articles and they certainly
have been enlightening and thought provoking. From some of the letters you publish from the
readers, it is apparent that there are many others who are seriously thinking of these things. The
general attitude that you express and advocate in these articles is commendable and I hope you
will continue stating your convictions based on your interpretation of God's truth in spite of the
opposition and disagreement that you have received. --Missouri
