DEAR FELLOW-MEMBERS,

It is with sincere gratitude that we write this Foreword, as

it completes the forty-ninth year of the Berean Expositor.

While the actual subject matter is still the work of the

Editor, it has become increasingly evident that the expansion

of our witness called for helpers in many departments.

In addition to the most valuable work done by our

Honorary Secretary,  Mr. George T. Foster,  by our

Publication Secretary, Mr. Leonard A. Canning, and by our

Assistant Editor, Mr. Stuart Allen, willing helpers have

come forward to check MSS, to read proofs, to type the MSS

ready for print, to address envelopes, to keep stock and to do

the numberless jobs that must be done behind the scenes

without recognition, except in the knowledge that in so doing

such are serving the Lord Christ.

As fellow-members "In the measure of every part", every

one according to "The measure of the gift of Christ" play

their role as "Joints of supply" (Eph. 4: 1-16), and for this

practical outworking of our high calling, all who value the

testimony of the Berean Expositor must be thankful.

My fellow-Trustees commend this volume of Expository

Truth both to the Lord and to His people.

Yours by grace,

CHARLES H. WELCH,

STUART ALLEN
