This is Volume XL, and it completes fifty-one years of witness.

We think of two words, as we record this fact, they are "Ebenezer"

and "henceforth".

Ebenezer, as we all know, refers in the first place to a stone

memorial erected to commemorate some signal deliverance, and is

actually engraved on the famous Moabite Stone. In Scripture we

We not only look back over the years with grateful recognition

of past deliverances, but

"His love in times past

Forbids us to think,

He'll leave us at last

In trouble to sink.

Each fresh Ebenezer, He brings to review

Confirms His good pleasure to help us right through."

In the confidence that past grace begets, we go forward with the

witness entrusted to us, and pray that all our readers will more

abundantly share the hazards and the triumphs that are inseparable

from such a work as is represented by The Berean Expositor.

Yours by All-sufficient grace,
