"The Twisted Scriptures" will continue throughout this year and

published quarterly by The Cincinnati Bible Seminary, contains an
address entitled "The New Testament and the Unity of the Church"
by R. C. Foster, in the Fall (1964) edition. This speech

a very thorough analysis of 1 John 1:7 under the title "Walking
in the Light." In conjunction with it we will also print an
article by Obert Henderson on "Biblical Illiteracy in Churches of

we do hope that you will share it with others.... A goodly number
have written to us asking when we would analyze 2 John 10, 11,
"If any man come and bring not this doctrine, receive him not
into your house nor give him any greeting." We are pleased to
announce that our June issue will deal with this scripture which
is generally twisted completely out of its context. The July
issue will have an exhaustive study of the expression "That ye
all speak the same thing" under the heading, "Conformity or
Diversity." We promise you that this will be a challenging number
of the paper.... We regret to report the

trouble is that many of their original ideas are not sound, and
many of their sound ideas are not original."... I am looking
forward to one week this year with a great deal of enthusiasm. It
will be my privilege to be one of the daily speakers at the
"National Christian College-Career Conference" in California,
September 6-11, at which Dr. Robert Fife, of Milligan College,
will also be a featured speaker. We will share our thinking with
some 250 college men and women, and there will be no "pulling of
the punches" by anyone. The theme is "20th Century Christianity:
Faith Under Fire." We will be exploring the question of whether
our historical plea is still intellectually tenable, and what can
be done with it in an ecumenical world. The goal of the seminars
and discussions for the whole week will seek to answer the query,
"What can college people do to really spark a movement to
Biblical Christianity?... We appreciate the fact that Martin M.
Mitchum shared with us some of the manuscripts gathered at the
