Truth for Youth
Periodical Series number: 61
Span Dates: 1944 - 1950
Truth for Youth was a publication of the Committee on Young People's
Work, an agency of the Bible Presbyterian Synod, Collingswood, NJ. Originally
titled Faith and Fellowship, it was issued as "a quarterly
manual containing articles, topics, musical suggestions, and recreational
pointers for young people."
The Rev. Jack Murray served as Editor of the magazine and he was initially
assisted by the Rev. John E. Addy, who served as Managing Editor. By the
time that the Summer 1946 issue (Volume 2, Number 3) was published, Rev.
Addy had been replaced by I.A. Wagner. With the Summer 1948 issue, Dr.
Robert G. Rayburn was noted as having joined the Editorial Advisory Board.
Cover photography during at least the first two years of publication was
produced by H. Armstrong Roberts.
