Hook's Points

Cecil Hook

"I am appealing to you open-minded people who are not afraid to think for yourselves." Read that again. What Does that mean? "I am appealing to you to let me do some thinking for you so you won't have to think for yourselves!"

University Students: Let me remind you of a generous offer made by Bob Rowland. If you have interest in restudying the role of women in our assemblies, he will send you a free copy of his clarifying book, I Permit Not A Woman To Remain Shackled. Also, he will include a free copy of my book, Free In Christ, which I will supply. (Combined retail price: $14.95.) Many have testified that these liberating books have changed their lives. Request from:

Robert Rowland, 3619 Larchwood Dr., Corona, CA 92881-8784; phone 909-898-1947.

Spanish version of FIC on the internet. Seven chapters of Free In Christ in Spanish may be accessed at http://www.freedomsring.org/lec/ The remainder should be posted soon. It is in a stage of revision and proofreading. Your suggestions may be helpful. Send yours to Moises Lujan LUM0446@aol.com. Blessings on him for his diligent work.

Why do the Jews and Palestinians who live in the same area have to come to the US to discuss peace? I asked that question, then proposed that money must have something to do with it. The next day I learned that our president had offered $170 billion (he is so generous - with our money!) which they turned down. Even Christians approve being duped!

A gospel presentation on CD is offered free for your use by the North congregation in Shreveport, Louisiana (where our son, Sol, is an elder). Click on it from our site or check it out at http://www.cocn.org/free_cd_2.html

In August I sent 80 free books of various titles to a brother in Manila, Philippines. He will distribute them to other preachers. Gifts from you!. A church in Arlington, Texas is using 50 copies of Free In Christ.

Why don't we have all the conventions in the same week and have the elections the next week? We could avoid all those annoying campaign ads. Most voters have already made their decision. Why should we let the "undecided" few choose our president if they are so indecisive! :)

Restoration Forum 2000. Each year since 1984 interested persons from the various segments of the Restoration Movement have met to discuss and promote our much-needed unity. This year the Forum will meet October 22-24 at Bethany College, the campus of the school that Campbell founded at Bethany, W.V. Well-known men from various groups will speak, including our good friend, Leroy Garrett who, dressed in pioneer garb and coonskin cap, will do his impressive impersonation of Racoon John Smith. Campbell's home, library, college, and grave site will be visited. This is a great opportunity. There is a registration fee. To learn more, e-mail Charme Robarts at robarts@acu.edu or call 915-674-2180.

Preachers should be underpaid! Yes, that is right. Selflessness is a part of the profile of one seeking souls. May ministry never be chosen because it pays well. When we support native preachers in other lands with salaries far above their peers, those peers see preaching as a way of gain.

"The Church of Christ upon earth is essentially, intentionally, and constitutionally one." -Thomas Campbell.

Your favorable interest in Curtis Dickinson's piece about hell and unending torment in the last issue leads me to include Leroy Garrett's "Is Hell Fire Endless?" in this issue. I am honored to use his great essay in this last mailout. [].
