About This Issue: December 20, 1963

The Rev. R. Eugene Crow of Los Angeles is the winner of a competition sponsored by CHRISTIANITY TODAY for sermons dealing with universalism. His entry, “Eternity, Our Responsibility,” begins on page 13. Other winners are listed on page 12.

The year-end mood always has a tinge of sadness, as the article on the opposite page says, and the passing of 1963 will be particularly sad. The editorial on page 20, however, calls attention to some encouraging notes. Another editorial, “Christ Comes Twice,” underscores hope for tomorrow.
