DEAR FELLOW-MEMBERS,
"I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord" (Rom. 16: 22).
In this sixteenth chapter of Romans, the Apostle expresses his
indebtedness to thirty-five fellow-helpers.
In Phil. 4: we have the
comforting assurance that the names of Paul's fellow-helpers are "in the
book of life".
We feel that we may have been somewhat remiss in this matter, and take
this belated opportunity of associating ourselves with all whose fellowship
make The Berean Expositor possible and available.
"I did the planting, Apollos did the watering, but it was God
Who made the seed grow . . . . . We work together in God's service"
(I Cor. 3: 6, 9 Moffatt).
The initial responsibility for the articles that have appeared during these
fifty years is, of course, the responsibility of the Editor alone. But the MSS
must be legible, and so is typewritten. The Scriptures references,
punctuation, spelling must all be checked. The printer's proofs must be read
and corrected, addresses of subscribers kept up to date, envelopes addressed,
and parcels packed and posted. Bills must be paid, and accounts kept, while
advertising must be planned and supervised. We are happy to say that all
those who thus take part do so willingly and as fellow-members, looking to
Christ from Whom as Head:
"The entire Body is welded together and compacted by
every joint with which it is supplied, the due activity of each
part enables the Body to grow and build itself up in love."
May all our witness be conducted in this spirit.
