LETTERS (coni.) in publishing the article on Sexual Purity in your July issue (“ The Christian Home,” by Paul Bayles). We, as Americans and as Christians, need to face this problem squarely. Can God continue to bless this nation if these things happen even in “ Christian circles” ? The amount of porno graphic literature that is handled through our mails staggers the mind and saddens the heart. It’s time we called sin, sin, and fight it with every ounce of our strength. Normon M. Kensington, Portland, Oregon. S.D.A. OPEN LETTER Praise the Lord and Hallelujah! Some one has finally told the truth! Mary Lyons, having been once on the side of error and brought out into the glorious light and freedom of our wonderful Saviour, apparently knows what Walter Martin and Dr. Donald Grey Bamhouse refuse to acknowledge. Thank you so much for printing this letter in your magazine (July, 1960). Mrs. George L. Corneal, Pasadena, California. PROPHECY I am glad for your good and clear pre sentation of “ The Thousand Years Reign of Christ” as presented in THE KING’S BUSINESS (Dr. Talbot, July, 1960). Keep up the good work, and may the Lord bless you. R. I. Humberd, The Humberd Press, Flora, Ind. HOMEGOING OF POETESS Thank you for the many poems and articles you have pripted by Mrs. Helen Frazee-Bower, who went home to be with the Lord June 25. Her passing leaves a great void for us who remain for a time. As one saint said when informed of her home-going, “ They are singing the ‘Halle lujah Chorus’ in heaven for Helen.” The illustration of her poem “ Land of the Free,” in the July issue was lovely. Unfortunately she did not get to see this —but she knows about it now! With kindest regards and best wishes to the other members of your editorial staff. William M. Bower, Long Beach, California. Your article “ I Remember Father,” by Helen Frazee-Bower (June, 1960), was a great blessing to all of us. It woke us up. W e are growing apart; our family altar has ceased to be. The Lord has melted our hearts through this heart-searching article. Mrs. H. E. Mallett, Cupertino, California. SUGGESTION FOR SERIES Last year I had occasion to read Charles Spurgeon’s seven volumes of “ The Trea sury of David.” They were printed some time in the early 1800’s, I believe. Could you, each month, print a Psalm or two with Spurgeon’s study of it? I believe there has been an abridged version re cently printed. Couldn’t you publish the original? They now seem to be out of print. I have been looking for a set. Elizabeth Krivak, Hazelton, Pennsylvania. W e received a great blessing from the dedicated men of God who help to com pile the magazine. May God direct and guide each of you as you carry on until our Saviour returns. Mrs. Joe P. Bradley, Dallas, Texas.
