About This Issue: April 09, 1965

Our Easter issue begins with an inspirational and evangelistic message prepared by Associate Editor Harold Lindsell for the annual sunrise service in the Rose Bowl. The meaning of the Resurrection, says Dr. Lindsell, is that God has triumphed in history, that there is forgiveness of sins, and that there is hope in this world. Editor Carl F. H. Henry is scheduled for the Easter dawn message at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland.

Co-Editor Frank E. Gaebelein reports from Alabama on the historic and controversial struggle for Negro voting privileges.
