Editor’s Note from September 26, 1975

A number of subscribers have asked us how they can tell from the mailing label on the magazine when their subscription expires. We’ll gladly break the code. The data line across the top of the label ends with the letters ITG and a number. If that number is, for example, 30, the subscription has thirty issues (or roughly fifteen months) to go. ITG means Issues To Go. Simple, isn’t it?

I want to commend John Chancellor of NBC for his gracious and fair retraction of his earlier statement that Billy Graham approved of the ordination of practicing homosexuals (for a report on what Graham really said, see our August 29 issue, page 47). Mr. Chancellor got caught in an unintentional misstatement. He has now set the record straight. May we all—CT included—be willing to admit our goofs.

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.
