In bringing to completion this XIVth Volume of The Berean

Expositor we are made conscious of the good hand of God upon, and

also of the sacredness of the trust committed to, us. While desirous of

adhering closely to our role as an expositor, faithfulness has sometimes

compelled us to engage in contention for the faith.  We need the

prayers of all who have this ministry at heart that we may ever be found

FAITHFUL and FREE.

While holding unreservedly to the full inspiration of all Scripture,

our peculiar privilege and responsibility is to make known the riches of

the glory of the mystery among the Gentiles. To this stewardship we

desire to be kept faithful.

We are happy to be able to say concerning The Berean Expositor

exactly the same as we said ten years ago, viz., that it is:--

"The organ of NO SOCIETY,

The property of NO SECT,

The exponent of NO CREED."

To this freedom may we be preserved.

We take this opportunity of wishing our readers all "joy and peace

in believing", commending to their prayers and fellowship this simple

Yours by grace,

CHARLES H. WELCH
