Interesting Letters

In our work as editor, on must try to maintain an equilibrium which only God's wisdom and His Divine control can give over even such matters as the mail we receive. A writer can be so bland that he never ruffles any feathers, either toward fear or fierce opposition. The dogs of dogdom neither growl nor wag their tails, if the scribe effectively is, "All things to all men", as "courier of favour among all kinds of readers. But that is not The Researcher's role. We wish we could graciously and inspirationally minister to Christians in our confused world, that we could come to our thousands of readers as one whom they perceive to be a welcome, loving helper, who comes to take each by the hand to lead him or her into enchanting gardens of fragrance and beauty, which they could not resist. The trouble is that human perversity is such that too many Christians are already swooning in the Enchanted Garden, of which John Bunyan speaks with solemn warning. They need some shock treatment before the stupor of ignorance or deception is broken and eyes are directed again to the mystery-charged words of Divine prophecy.

In order that prayerful friends may share more wisely with us in understanding and prayers, we give herewith a few letters, that represent more than one welcome point of view.

Dear Brother Boyd:

     Christian greetings in the Name of our Saviour Jesus Christ.

      I do enjoy The Researcher, and also The Berean Ambassador.

      As I was in Dr. Scofield Dispensationalism, for about twenty-five years, but in the year 1947, a young minister gave me the booklet "Why I left the Futurist School." And it gave me back my Bible. Before that I was giving so much of the Bible to the Jews, and after the fourth Chapter of the Book of the Revelation, from there to the nineteenth chapter, it was all for the Jews. I would like you to send me if you can, ten copies of, WHY I LEFT THE FUTURIST SCHOOL. Author T.H Salmon.

Find a cheque for fifty dollars, take out the price of the books, and use the rest where most needed.
