Editor’s Note from November 04, 1977

I just finished an article for the C.T. Christmas issue on the Virgin Birth of Jesus. I was reminded that when this issue of the magazine comes to our readers it will be only seven weeks until Christmas. How the time flies! The days are getting cooler and there is little time to do the last of the yard work that Friend wife tells me needs to be done. I try to avoid it at all costs!

We present an interview with Ruth Carter Stapleton, sister of the President. We taped it at the O’Hare airport when she was passing through several weeks ago. She’s a busy woman and a warm and delightful person. I’m sorry that space prevents printing all of her comments.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

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.
