"Scripture
Truth" was first published in 1909 by the Central Bible Truth Depot under the editorship of J T Mawson and H D R Jameson. At that time, articles were scrutinised by a
committee of responsible men amongst the Brethren: H J Vine, J T Mawson, H P Barker, F B Hole, H R Jameson, Mr Huntley, J Murray, Capt J W Smith, Hamilton Smith, Mr Bell, R Dunn,
Robert Whyte and Walter Westcott. Indeed, much of the content of the early issues was written by them - and the content of many of the books published now by "Scripture
Truth" Publications (and the Central Bible Hammond Trust and Central Bible Truth Depot in the past) first saw the light of day as articles in "Scripture Truth"
magazine. In more recent years the magazine has been edited, solely or as part of an editorial board, by John Blackburn, Theo Balderston, Colin Curry, Bos Menzies, Jeffrey Brett
and Gordon Hughes.

Cheering Words Calendar
The "Cheering Words" daily tear-off calendar of Scripture readings (NKJV) and relevant hymns, poems or comment has been a familiar sight on the walls of Christians for many years. The present compilers are David and Stephanie Pulman.
Orders can now be placed for Cheering Words calendar for
2010. This year, for the first time, the wall calendar backs are printed with a picture on each side, so you no longer need to make a choice. You receive a calendar with
both pictures: "The tide coming in at St Ives, Cornwall" and "Cragside House, Northumberland". If you wish to place an order for calendars,
please click here to open the Cheering Words Calendar 2010 Web Order Form (in Adobe Acrobat PDF format) in a new window.
Print the form with your browser (or save it for printing later), and then close the window.
To place an order for delivery to the UK or the rest of the world, complete the form, and send it with the appropriate payment to the address on the form. The form contains full details of the postage and packing costs for various quantities.
This year, as an alternative way of mounting the calendar, we are continuing to offer a burgundy leather-look desk stand.
You may prefer to receive only the calendar block and not the picture back (perhaps because you wish to continue to view a picture from a previous year). The costs for this option are given on the form.
Please note that orders for calendars can only be processed if payment is send with your order.
