First Corinthians, by Gordon H. Clark; The Trinity Foundation, 1991 [1975]; 349 pp., $10.95, (paper). [Reviewed by Prof. H. Hanko. ] Gordon Clark has written a short, but orthodox, commentary on Paul’s first epistle to the Corinthians. It is a worthwhile work and is helpful in a study of this difficult part of Scripture. It can be used with profit by ministers who are preaching from this book, but also by any of God’s people who are studying I Corinthians in their societies, their homes, or their personal Bible study.

Since the last report regarding the Covenant Reformed Fellowship appeared in the Standard Bearer, we have moved our worship services from Larne to Ballymena. The reason for our move was the greater interest shown in that area, both in our special midweek meetings and in responses to our newspaper adverts for free booklets.
