DEAR FELLOW-MEMBERS,

"It is required in stewards that a man be found faithful". We

neither judge ourselves, nor allow other to do so, leaving this as all else

to the Lord. Nevertheless we remind all our readers that this high ideal

is ours. That we fail we are only too conscious, but that we depart from

this standard we most strenuously withstand.

It is because we consider ourselves "stewards", with the

obligation to "faithfulness", that our magazine continues along the lines

of exposition, and not of inference.

While recognising that "the body without the spirit is dead", we

nevertheless know no other medium, and no other authority, than the

inspired letter of the Word.

The day seems not far distant when "we shall know even as we

are known". Till then we look for grace to be "found faithful".

Yours in that blessed hope,

CHARLES H. WELCH
