The world is rapidly being transformed from a rural to an urban society, and some of the largest cities are to be found in the eastern nations and the underdeveloped countries. We need to listen to what C. George Fry has to say about “Christ and Cosmopolis.” James Kelso has an interesting and informative word on the reliability of Scripture and the need for personal acceptance of it, not simply head knowledge. In “Sex Education and the Church,” two medically competent Christians explain why they think churches should teach young people—and their parents—about sexuality. We lifted another essay scheduled for this issue to make room for “Sowing the Wind,” by David Bryant. This is an analysis of the Kent State University tragedy by a pastor who works with students on that campus. He claims that the conditions leading to the deaths of the four students include permissiveness in the home, egotistic humanism, the Church’s capitulation to humanism, and the activity of Satan. His report should stimulate all of us to pray for our college students.
This first issue of June seems a fitting time to report on the progress of love and marriage within our ranks. Janet Rohler, our editorial assistant, who came to us six years ago, recently became Janet Rohler Greisch. She and her husband have our best wishes. Diamonds sparkling on the fingers of three secretaries assure us that three more weddings are in the offing. In these turbulent and troubling days, it’s good to have evidence that love is still alive and well.
