DEAR FELLOW-MEMBERS,
"Now when Daniel knew . . . . . he kneeled upon his knees three
times a day . . . . . AS HE DID AFORETIME" (Dan. 6: 10).
The perilous and momentous days in which we live bring with
them a special spiritual peril, the peril of allowing the pressure of
earthly conflict to minimize or suppress service or spiritual
exercise.
While the believer must never allow it to be said that the
unbeliever is more ready or active in his offers of help and
sympathy in mundane troubles, the noble spirit manifested by
Daniel in the words, "as he did aforetime", should provoke us to
emulation. It is in this frame of mind that the foreword of yet
another annual Volume is written.
The year's witness has been prepared, printed, published and
posted, literally in "the presence of our enemies", and we
commend the present Volume and its succeeding numbers to all
who appreciate the "Berean" attitude of heart and mind toward the
Word of Truth.
Yours in peace that passeth understanding,
CHARLES H. WELCH,
PHILIP DIVE,
FREDERICK P. BRININGER
