Philadelphia, Pa.
Dear Sirs,
Although my schedule as a student at Westminster Seminary is a busy one, I want to take a few minutes to express to the editorial board of the TORCH AND TRUMPET my deep appreciation for and Christian joy in the Christian and reform-ing articles which have appeared in the last few issues of the magazine. I would express my own deepest appreciation for the three-article series on “Christianity and Politics,” by Drs. Born, and for the incisive article by L. Tamminga, “Bigger Vision in Christian Education,” The fact that the editorial board has had the Christian vision to assess what arc critical needs in the Christian community today, and has had the courage to devote cover-articles to the attempt to begin to answer them, is a real encouragement to me, and to others here at Westminster seeking to prepare ourselves for positions of leadership in the Christian community.
May the Lord grant that his reforming of his Church will continue to find in the TORCH AND TRUMPET a strong and faithful instrument, reaching into the very hearts of God’s people at whatever post they have been given of the Lord.
Yours sincerely,
MARK A. DAVIES, Westminster Theological Seminary, middler
The Editorial Committee of TORCH AND TRUMPET
Dear Brethren:
Thanks for publishing my letter in which I expressed my appreciation for the apology from the person responsible for placing the letter of Mr. William A. De Jonge in the October issue of TORCH AND TRUMPET.
I trust you will be so kind as to publish my reaction to the note which you appended to my letter. In this note you seem to suggest that I should have entered upon the issue raised in the letter of Mr. De Jonge.
As to the issue touched on in that letter of Mr. De Jonge you may tell Mr. De Jonge that if he addresses himself to the editor of De Wachter, as he should have done in the first place, and if he does so in the proper manner without confusing persons with issues, I shall be glad to serve him with an answer.
It seems to me that, since you grant that I had just cause to be displeased about your placing that insinuating letter in your periodical, you could hardly expect that I would enter on the issue in TORCH AND TRUMPET. I thought it well to call your attention to this lest your readers should get the impression that my not entering upon the issue was a matter of evasion.
Fraternally yours,
WILLIAM HAVERKAMP
