The staff members of CHRISTIANITY TODAY join me in wishing every reader of the magazine a merry Christmas and a happy new year. We thank you one and all for the letters you have sent. Our hearts have been warmed by your encouragement and appreciation. We are also grateful for critical letters, many of which we print. They shed further light on complex questions. They let us know that we’re reaching you. They serve to remind us that we do make mistakes—and not only “typographical errors.” They help to keep us humble!
Next year promises to be most interesting. It could well be that the swelling interest in Jesus Christ may lead to a deep awakening, a desperately needed happening that none of us has seen in this generation. What has happened in Saskatoon, Canada (see page 31), may be a harbinger; we pray that it is.
It is with great regret that I report the death of our board member J. Howard Pew (see pages 22, 24, and 32). I attended his funeral service in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, on November 30, when multitudes gathered to pay their respects. Our deepest sympathies go to his two sisters, Mrs. H. A. W. Myrin and Miss Mary Ethel Pew, and to his children and grandchildren. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.
P. S. Our next issue will be dated January 7 and will appear in three weeks.
