Editor’s Note from May 07, 1976

Happy Mother’s Day to all our reading moms! I’m married to a mother and a grandmother as well. In praising mothers, let’s not forget the wives who are not mothers and the single women. I’ve had two single secretaries who helped me for at least eighteen years, and they deserve kudos for their service to God and to the work of the kingdom.

Dr. Blaiklock’s article on permissiveness, which not infrequently has been the sign of a decadent culture, should alert us to the fact that Western man has lost his bearings; without an accurate compass to guide him, he’s headed for disaster.

Gasoline prices are on the rise again. In my article I suggest that we close all businesses and stay home one day a week. It would help!
