Synopsis

Vintage stories and practical faith for service readers

This January 1957 program magazine for Armed Forces personnel weaves a vivid fiction piece about Adele, her brother Chet, and a thrilling encounter with a runaway horse on a farm. The tale blends family ties, courage, and quick thinking under pressure, set against rural life and the pace of a bustling farm community.

In addition to the fiction, the issue explores a modern Bible project that uses electronic computing to create a concordance. It explains how a computer and magnetic tapes help list every word’s location in the Revised Standard Version, illustrating a landmark fusion of technology and scripture.
A thoughtful devotional column reflects on Christmas and New Year themes, linking old and new covenants through Simeon’s blessing to the birth of Jesus. A longer ministerial perspective on calling and work considers how everyday jobs fit within God’s will.
What you’ll experience

• A gripping short story about loyalty, family, and facing danger on a farm
• A behind-the-scenes look at a pioneering computer-assisted Bible concordance
• A faith-and-work meditation connecting Christmas, Simeon, and daily duties
• A closing line that helps readers find the right audience for this mix of fiction, faith, and culture

Ideal for readers who enjoy mid‑20th‑century short fiction, devotional writing, and historical glimpses of technology in religious publishing.
