Box 488 R EDONDO BE:ACH , CALIFORNIA John Allen Chalk, Minister Family of God Cookeville, Tenn Feb. 21., 1965 Hi son. Here is a little check you can pass along in your next letter to Highland. Gene Darby sent me name and address of aJJ. elders and deacons of Highland and I am listing th.em to get ACTION. Your letter came today with the article on "An Exercise in Application." You are right - it is an explosive subject but so far as I am concerned, you stay right in there and pitch. As long as you are holding up the teachings of Christ have no tear of any man or all men. I would gladly lose every subscriber on that basis. There is, however, as you well know a, lesson from Jesus - the~ tor things . I do not know that this is any better time tor this subject than any other but I can th.ink of nothing facing the church tod~ that should be postponed. Hit it with all you have but do so wisely as matters of this kind move slowly foD.atng long periods of teaching. Even in your lifetime you are not going to move our people there in the South too tar on this but they need to be taught what is right. Actually, as you well know, it is really not a matter of joint worship but rather the real.Jn of socia1 which holds most of our people back . Joe Barnett is on a good subject - spiritual dropout and he just sent his March article which is a dandy. In yours, try to hold to about two pages where possible. Since the first of the year we have received orders for bundles amounting to almost 3000 copies and I would guess sane 500 other singles. You can see we are moving. Joe thinks he can get Central to order for every family on the basis of $1. 2S per with out the church ever having to renew. I think this makes a good deal for a church and every publication should make similar offers at their prices. Brush me up on your work and what I should mention in the paper about it. Love to you and Sue. 1 I i 7 l L I J <-L--"<.___ -~ James L. Lovell Every person has more right to hear the Gospel once than any one person has to hear it twice
