     On June 1 we mailed out the 1050th free copy of the book Thoughts On Unity to a student of the University of Minnesota. This book is sent without obligation to any college or university student on earth who personally writes and requests it. It is not sent upon the request of preachers, parents or friends. The student must write for a copy and tell the school where he is enrolled. Simply address a card or letter to MISSION MESSENGER, 139 Signal Hill Drive, Saint Louis, Missouri 63121. We urge our readers to inform college students about this offer.... We invite all who are interested to write for a copy of my booklet Equipping the Saints. There is no charge and you may ask for as many as you will distribute to friends and brethren in your area. Please do not ask for more than you are able to use as the cost of printing is very high and we cannot afford to waste them.... You may also request copies of our Book Lists 75-D, 75-E, and 75-F. They contain scores of books which we recommend as helpful and instructive.... We regret to say that the book Pure Speech, containing all of the issues of the paper for 1974, is no longer obtainable. We are taking advance orders for the bound volume for this final year of our publication and hundreds have already been reserved. Only 2000 copies will be bound and they will not last long after they are ready for distribution. You may reserve one or more now and an invoice will be enclosed with the books when they are sent, early in 1976.... Those who want a copy of each of my future books as they come from the press may ask to be placed on the permanent list. If you do this you will be assured of receiving a copy of each book immediately. You may discontinue your permanent order at any time in the future.... We will place the final copy of MISSION MESSENGER in the mails December 1, but I will begin writing monthly for Restoration Review immediately. The editor, Leroy Garrett, has asked me to do the story of my life in monthly installments for two years. In addition, I will have room to tell about my appointments so that readers will know where I shall be speaking. You may subscribe for this journal by sending $3.00 for two years good reading to Restoration Review, 1201 Windsor Drive, Denton, Texas 76201.... Incidentally, Brother Garrett has just issued a 400 page book containing all of the papers for 1973-74 under the heading The Church of Christ--Yesterday and Today. Any competent historian of the future will have to reckon with the content of this large and attractive volume. Write to Brother Garrett for a copy and have him bill you. It is really something else.... Brethren in the Nashville, Tennessee area will be glad to know that we are planning a three-day session with the saints meeting at Belmont Church of Christ, 16th and Grand Avenues, in that city, next March 3-5. It is our hope that God will use the congregation as a catalyst to bring together brethren from all over that section of the country in meaningful gatherings.... During September, if the Lord wills, I shall be speaking at the Chicago Area Men's Meet (8, 9); and at Hanover, New Mexico, near Silver City (17-19).
