Editor's Notes
In some countries, we are able to boldly present the gospel and ask readers to respond if they want to know more. In other countries, where such ads would not be allowed, we often place a more general message such as: "Would you like to know real peace?" or "Are you lonely? Let us tell you about a friend who will never leave you."
