Volume 79 of the Standard Bearer, which begins with this issue of the magazine, is planned to be very much like the preceding volume. The only change of rubrics or writers is that Rev. Garrett Eriks will join Rev. Richard Smit and Rev. Daniel Kleyn in writing the column, “In His Fear.” We welcome Rev. Eriks as a regular contributor.

The staff reappointed all the functionaries of the Standard Bearer.

The committee on special issues informed the annual meeting that it has planned a Reformation Day issue for October 15 around the theme of “The Reformation and a Holy Life.”

Response from our readers is always welcome, and usually published.

May God continue to bless our witness to the Reformed faith by means of the Standard Bearer.
