Ray will also secure any publication upon your request, and can handle all special offers. Here is a brother who suffers from a severe physical handicap but simply will not quit. You can help him by giving him your magazine business.... If you'll mail us a check for $7.50 we will send you four books by Kenneth S.

The series of studies held at James River Chapel, south of Springfield, Missouri, broke all attendance records. Every night service closed with a baptism, twelve being immersed in five nights.

Johnson, who labors with Plymouth Congregational Church, 1900 Nicollet Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota; Fred I. Gardner, Johnson City, Tennessee, who informs me that an Emmanuel Graduate School student will be doing a thesis next year on "The Glory of God as Mentioned in the Old Testament"; Graydon Jessup, who speaks highly of the prospects of work in Anchorage, Alaska; Mary Hendren, who keeps us posted on conditions in Belfast, North Ireland; and Gary W. Campbell, Taos, New Mexico, who is seriously considering opening up a coffee-house ministry in that area.... This is probably the last call for my book Apples of Gold, which contains all of the copies of the paper for 1967; and One Great Chapter, which is the bound volume for 1971. The books are only $2.95 each, but there are but few of them remaining.... If you have not yet secured a copy of my latest book of sermons, The Parable of Telstar, we urge you to write for it. There are sixteen talks to all kinds of groups, and we think it will be most interesting to you. It also sells for $2.95 per copy....
