Do anyone have any suggestions about short and powerful Reformed devotional works or summaries of Christian doctrine that could be printed in a newspaper (they have to be from before 1925 or so to be in the public domain).

I am Editor of my college newspaper and am considering adding a page to the paper in which I only have one part of a many-part series of a specific Reformed devotional work or easy to understand and short doctrinal work. I estimate I could fit about 3,500 to 4,000 words on a page since we are a broadsheet and it would only cost $32 more to print this extra page, which could be paid for by another ad or two.

I am planning on publishing 14 times, but may go as much as 16 (interterm would be excluded from any publication) and found that a work of the length of Pilgrim's Progress would be way too long for a bi-weekly paper to cover in a year, so any works would have to be short, maybe 40-50 pages in print form max, perhaps less.

Thanks for any ideas. This is not something I will definitely do, but it is on my "brainstorming" list.

I am more likely to have a page for student submissions like poetry and every once in awhile include something like "A Short Statement of the Reformed Faith" or whatever it is called by I believe B.B. Warfield with an editor's note saying it is a classic work on Christianity. I definitely will be putting Westminster Shorter Catechism questions in the paper (LC questions when it comes to Ten Commandments questions due to their depth that goes way beyond the SC), but that would be put on the opinions page.

Hey you have a bevy Of Calvinists here. You could ask all of us to submit devotionals

I do not think any of us would have copyright problems

RW, several of the links above have old, old material, dig around in them and I bet you will find something useful.

I did find a great article by Bonar called "God's Will and Man's Will." It would greatly complement my column on pride I am planning to write, as a major cause of pride is believing you have control. Understanding that you don't is humbling.

Have you looked at REFORMATION INK? = http://homepage.mac.com/shanerosenthal/reformationink/index.html

This is a great website filled with Reformed short articles on almost every topic imaginable, written by well regarded men, you will also find classic Reformed resources, such as the Westminster Confession of Faith, Heidelburg Catachism, ect.

Many of these articles were written long before 1925.. so this should be helpful to you in your search for material.

The guy who runs this site is Shane Rosenthal, who was the on air producer for THE WHITE HORSE INN, with Dr. Michael Horton.. great Reformed teaching on this program ~ http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/The_White_Horse_Inn/Default.asp
