Editor’s Note from September 13, 1974

In this issue we honor Billy Graham, who this month is celebrating his twenty-fifth year in mass evangelism. The glossy-stock photograph of Mr. Graham (see the insert facing page 14) taken by the famous photographer Yousuf Karsh has never been published before. We congratulate Graham and his team for their evangelistic outreach and offer our good wishes and prayers for the upcoming Hollywood Bowl Crusade (September 19–21) and for the Rio de Janeiro rally (October 2–6), which is likely to be the largest yet.

The fund used to provide subscriptions to CHRISTIANITY TODAY for deserving people at home and abroad who cannot afford the subscription price is exhausted. We can easily use $4–5,000. Perhaps some of our readers will feel led to contribute to this ministry. All gifts are tax-deductible.

Friend wife and I will join the Gotaas Mediterranean tour (I will lecture) starting October 24. We hope that among the rewarding experiences of this trip there will be the opportunity to spend time with some of our friends from whom we are separated by distance and whom we long to see again.

The CT archives are a rich treasure of biblical wisdom and insight from our past. Some things we would say differently today, and some stances we've changed. But overall, we're amazed at how relevant so much of this content is. We trust that you'll find it a helpful resource.
