Editor’s Note from July 18, 1975

The good old summertime is upon us, and as is our custom we will change our publishing schedule slightly to allow for staff vacations. The next issue will appear in three weeks, dated August 8. Then, after another three-week period, will come the August 29 issue. Beginning with the September 12 issue we will be back on the regular two-week cycle.

One of our readers has a set of CT going back to the first issue that he is willing to give to anyone who will pay the postage. Write us. First come, first (and only) served.

A gratifying number of readers have sent suggestions for the renaming of “A Layman and His Faith,” the column now written by Edith Schaeffer. We are working our way through these letters and hope to make a decision this summer. You who wrote don’t agree, of course, and now we who are to decide don’t either!

I’m off on a busman’s holiday—working on a book that has been simmering on the back burner for ten years. Happy summer holiday to you, too!

Also in this issue

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.
