He n , . r ,,rr te a b ok, and yet all the libraries o,f 1he country could n t h ld the !1ook ,that hav been wriitten about Him. He never wrote a song ,1nd , ·et He h, ft1rni hed the theme for more ong than all the son~iters • c n1bined. H n ver founded a college but all the e!hool pu,t ,together cannot boast f ha,,ing as many tudents. He n ver mar haled an army, nor drafted a oldier, nor fired a gun; and yet no leader ever made more volunteer who h·ave, under His orders, made more r b 1 tack arm and surrender without a hot fired. He ,never praoticed medicine. and yet He has healed more broken hearts than 1 all .the d ootors far and near. Every seven~h day the wheels of commerce cease ,their turning and multitude wend their way to worshiping assemb 1 Lies to pay homage and re pect to Him. Though time ha pread nineteen hundred years between the people of this generation and the scene of His crucifixion, yet He s.til,l lives. Herod couJd not de troy Him, and the grave could not hold Him. He tands forth upon the highest pinn,acle of heavenly glory, proclaimed of God, acknowledged by aOJgel , adored by ainrt:s, and ·feared by dev ils, as the living personal Christ our Lord and Saviour. A Word From Your Editor ... As editor of this magazine, our name has been placed on the mailing li t of ome of the pastors in our OARBC fellow hip. We appreciate this. One such pastor who fa1thful•ly sends us his church calendar is our Brother Rev. Donald Grollimund of the Wheeler burg Baptis;t Church. He has been doing something whlioh might be good for all of our pastors to do. Each week he presenits some different phase of the work of our GARBC. He has written short ar– ticles presenting its doctrinal position, its hi tory and position on sepera– tion, as well as information concern– ing our schools, missions and bene– volent social agencies. In just this way. his people are being intelligently informed. In our travels about the country, (in and out of Ohio) we are amazed at the ignorance on the part of so many of our people regarding our GARBC and OARBC. Only recently, a n1an in one of our Ohio churches (supposedly a churoh trong in our Regular Baptist position) asked 1me wha,t the letters ' 'GARBC" swod for! Oh . . . I ·meant to say that this fellow was one of the deacons in thi church. We were havin·g dinner in his home. Incidently, he knew LirMJle or nrothing about the Baptist Bulletin or THE OHIO INDEPENDENT BAPTIST! It i because of this ignorance on the part of so maniy, that we think it would be a good ,thing if every OHIO Church in our OARBC fel– Jowship would SUJbsoribe cto THE OHIO INDEPENDENT BAPTIST. Just ,this past month we maiiJed cards to all the pastors in our OARBC en– couraging them to order ' 'bundle lots' ' for their churche . A bundJe of 25 copies ent to 1the cburch each mon,th for a year would co t the church only $25.00. This averages out ito about fifty cenits per week. A m·all price to pay to have your people better informed. DO LET U HEAR FROM YOU. PLEASE!!
