     I have been unable until recently to appreciate your very worthwhile effort on behalf of all Christian peoples. I believe that nothing is wanted more in these days than a true appreciation of our responsibility and attitude toward our fellow Christians in the light of the understanding of our position before our heavenly Father and His saving grace expressed on Calvary. --Australia.

     I am still interested in your efforts to try and create a better understanding of our problems in the entire brotherhood. I recognize it will take time to undo the evil that has been done. I never expect to see it accomplished in my day. However, keep on laying the foundation. Someone will take up where you leave off if the Lord tarries. --Ontario, Canada.

     What does "For freedom Christ has set us free" mean, if we are to make a set of hard and fast rules, and condemn all who cannot agree to such rules? "Freedom" has about ceased to exist and we are hedged about as much as before Christ brought real freedom. --Ohio.

     I personally enjoy very much your analytical treatises as they seem to depict very closely my own convictions, although your thinking is deeper and your choice of words better. I liked the article on "Sectarianism" very much. - -England.

     Each month I anticipate your paper eagerly and read it with great interest. It is indeed refreshing...I particularly enjoy it because it causes our people to think by giving us a realistic evaluation of ourselves. It should cause us to think and act because it shakes us out of our complacency. --Arizona.

     The last couple of issues have been superb. This is not taking anything away from previous issues, but these two seemed to say the right things that so badly need saying. --Alabama.

     I enjoy each issue immensely. I wish our brethren editing other papers would have the courage to deal with the fundamental issues that you keep raising. It seems that the prophet must always be "a voice in the wilderness." -- Okinawa.

     I thought you might be interested in a new subscriber's reaction to your January issue. Your article "The Times of the Stork" was very enlightening. The subject of soul and spirit has intrigued me for some time, since learning that Alexander Campbell was of the opinion that it was the spirit of man, not the soul, which is eternal. Your article gave me a better insight into the distinction between the two. - -Tennessee.

     If the apostle Paul in the First Corinthian letter could refer to them as saints and brethren, with all of their divisiveness, discord and sin, why can we not follow his example today? He did not "disfellowship" them, blacklist them, start a faction, hold a preacher's luncheon, or give them the silent treatment. He admonished them in love and referred to them as saints. --Virginia.

     Your feature article "The Times of the Stork" in the January issue is splendid and worth the price of many years of subscription to the paper. Though you have written many very instructive, and even outstanding articles, I consider this one the very best ever. --Colorado.

     I am enjoying the paper very much and feel greatly indebted to you for helping to open my mind to so many great truths. It thrills me to see the conclusions reached without forcing the scriptures. --Iowa.

     I have just finished "The Kingdom of the Messiah" and found it most interesting and informative. -- California.
