Editor’s Note from February 14, 1969

Retrospect is good, but sometimes prospect is even better. It is the lot of an editor to keep looking ahead. He has little time to look backward except as he smarts over his mistakes—things he didn’t do that he should have done and some he did but shouldn’t have. But the future is bright.

Coming up shortly will be two essays, pro and con, on the issue of government aid to parochial schools. We have an excellent essay on academic freedom that will surface shortly. In the works also is a paper on tongues from a Pentecostal perspective. Paul Rees is writing an Easter article that our readers will appreciate. Ascension Day comes along and except for those who watch the church calendar it attracts little attention. We have a solid treatment of that subject ready to go. Readers will be interested also in a forthcoming essay on sexual deviation in relation to the Word of God and the law of the land. For the scientifically minded we have on tap a splendid paper from Australia on biology and faith. So there are good things in store for our subscribers who want to be where the action is and know what God is saying in response to man’s perennial search.
