We trust that our readers know the difference between a meditation and a lecture,. and that they understood that Prof. Hanko’s lecture was mistakenly printed under the caption “Meditation” in the August 1 issue. The error is not to be charged to the staff, but to the printer. Another error appeared in my book review of Promise and Deliverance. The words “a big extravagant”—lest any misunderstood—were not intended to be “a big extravagance,” but “a bit extravagant.”

This volume year is the 85th year that Protestant Reformed men and women have produced our semi-monthly magazine, dedicated to the promotion and defense of the Reformed faith. Over the course of 85 years, much has changed, and yet much has remained the same. What has changed is not essential: a new generation of writers, more writers, a wider variety of subjects, and a more modern appearance. What remains unchanged is our commitment to the development and defense of Reformed doctrine, the fresh exposition of Scripture, and the clear application of truth to the life of the church and the...

As editors, we pray that many more may be finding profit from the articles, which...

The Standard Bearer is 86 The October 1 issue is the beginning of the new volume year. This year is the Standard Bearer’s 86th. First of all, we express our heartfelt gratitude to Rev. Jason Kortering, Minister Emeritus (who asked to be relieved of his writing duties), for his many years of regular contributions to the magazine.
