With this issue, the magazine known as "THE YOUNG CHRISTIAN" since January, 1911 becomes "CHRISTIAN TRUTH for the household of faith."
There has been much exercise before the Lord as to making this change in a periodical which we believe has had His blessing. We do feel that the new title more aptly expresses the aims and scope of this publication. By enlarging and rearranging it we have increased the reading content by approximately 45%; this will enable us to include certain valuable articles written by men of God in the past. These articles have been out of print for many years, but contain rich ministry for the present day.
We purpose to continue to speak frankly on current matters and problems through "The Editor's Column," and will seek, with the Lord's help, to bring the light of the Word of God to bear on such subjects.
The recent arrangement of questions and answers will he continued. We hope this will stimulate a greater interest in searching of the Scriptures.
The new and nominal subscription rate of $1.00 per year will not cover the actual cost of publishing and mailing, unless—as we hope and rather expect—there is a substantial increase in our subscriptions.
We desire the prayers of our fellow-Christians for wisdom and guidance in both the editing and publishing, and for the Lord's continued blessing on this work. We truly desire that through the pages of this periodical the children of God may be helped by ministry "to edification, and exhortation, and comfort."
