> (the original editorial deadline), and a comprehensive index of all four
> volumes.

> Bradley Weidenheamer (representing the Brethren Church); Robert Lehigh
> and Jacob Ness (representing the Dunkard Brethren); Jerry Young and Ron
> Clutter (representing the Grace Brethren); and Fred Benedict and Glen

> With regard to accuracy, people who know of mistakes in the first three
> volumes should notify the committee so that corrections can be made,
