Editor’s Note from November 18, 1977

Thanksgiving season is here again. We remember our Pilgrim forebears with emphasis on the latter half of their name, “grims.” Although their situation was difficult they persevered.

Indeed we give thanks to God for all his blessings. But how can Christians give thanks for the situation in Red China? Nine hundred million people lie bound in a spiritual prison camp worse than that in other Communist lands except Cambodia and Vietnam.

Let us eat our turkeys and pumpkin pies with joy over God’s provision for us, but let us also beg the Lord of the harvest to deliver China from its bondage and bring to its people the light of the glorious Gospel to be found in the face of Jesus Christ.
