 Ever
so often we beg the patience of “old-time” readers, while we
explain PLAIN TALK to our new readers. This paper is published
by the Oaks — West church of Christ, Burnet, as a part of
their teaching program. Bro. Joe Fitch. “local” preacher.
writes one article each month, and all other material is written
by the editor. (We fudge a little, by devoting one page to
quotations from church history.) We try to keep a variety of
material before our readers, but make no secret of our special
interest in current problems of our day.
The
Burnet church solicits no outside financial support of this
effort and is embarrassed by occasional contributions sent by
well-meaning folk. You can help us most by introducing PLAIN
TALK to honest readers. We do not expect all to agree with us,
but search for those who will sincerely study God’s word with
us.
Now
and then some one will send us the directory of some “liberal”
group and request the paper be sent to all of these. Our
standard reply: “Please select 12/15 whom you know to be
sincere Bible students, likely to give honest consideration to
our material. We are not in the “spanking” business and
realize we can not “force” truth into reluctant, rebellious
people.” We operate within our own means, and can not afford
to “cast pearl” even if this were right. (Matt. 7:6)

RE CHANGES OF ADDRESS
In
this age of shifting population it is difficult to “keep up”
with those who really want PLAIN TALK, but
fail to notify us of their move. We
dutifully pay the Post Office several dollars each month, to
furnish us “address change” information; then purchase and
address new mailing stencils for people who or not want our
product.
We
are about to adopt the policy that IF YOU REALLY WANT THE PAPER,
YOU WILL SEND US YOUR ADDRESS CHANGE.
We
are aware this will work a hardship on a forgetful segment, but
it is becoming a necessity — as we try to keep our spending in
line with our income, and make the best possible use of this
particular effort.

interest in the “Arlington Meeting” (a ‘confrontation’
of conservative — liberal issues. by well— known men on
