 If
it is with a sense of fear and trembling that Bro. Turner begins
his work in Australia again, it is no less so with me in staying
at home and assuming the responsibility for getting out Plain
Talk for these next three issues. Robert did prepare a couple of
pages for this issue before leaving (pp 6,8), and for "just
in case" marked a few articles from back issues to be used
as reprints.
In
addition, my good friend Dee Bowman, preacher for the Southside
church in Pasadena, Tx., has consented to help out with several
articles, which will be most welcomed. I know that you will
appreciate his good work. There is a possibility that one or two
others may contribute articles at Robert's request, so look for
them in coming issues.
------------------
Frequently,
we receive requests for back issues of Plain Talk and we are
happy to accommodate such requests insofar as our limited
reserves will permit. Obviously, our supply of some issues,
especially earlier ones, are already depleted. For some time now
it has been my thinking that many of our readers would welcome
an opportunity to purchase bound volumes of Plain Talk. A few of
us have saved our copies through the years and have had them
bound at four-year intervals. At present, we have three
| |
attractive books, each containing four volumes of Plain Talk, starting with 1968. Trouble is, I have
not fully convinced Robert to make them available. If you are
interested. perhaps you could help convince bro. Turner by
dropping us a line. Personally, I feel that what he has written
is worth preserving. ire and passing on to other generations.
Our purpose is not to sell books and even if it were, they would
not be pushed in this paper. But, to my way of thinking, any
library would be enhanced with bro. Turner's works. If nothing
else, perhaps he will consent to having selected articles put
into book form. Anyway, if you agree with my thinking, let us
know. Thanks.
-----------------
As
bro. Turner reported on this page of our last issue, the
Oaks-West church building suffered fairly extensive fire and
smoke damage on Sept. 3. Clean-up and repairs were delayed for
some time, pending settlement with the insurance company.
Finally, we were able to get started and have made good progress
thus far, and all with our own members doing the work. We are
hoping to be back in the building by around the first of Dec.
and in the meantime are meeting at the Burnet Intermediate
School. Attendance for Bible classes and worship has not
suffered — in fact, maybe better. God has blessed us richly!
