==Background==
In the early 1940's, [[Richard Edwin Burson|Richard Burson]] was a Baptist pastor in [[Kansas]], and about 1943 had started editing a devotional called [[The Word devotional|The Word]]. While attending a bible college in Salina, [[Kansas]], and was doing odd jobs for the locals, he was cleaning out a woman's attic when he discovered an archive of "Help and Food" magazines, that he initially thought were cookbooks, and asked if he could take them, which introduced him to the open brethren, with the eventual help of the Littlefield family via [[Waltericks Walterick Publishers]] of Kansas City.
This eventually led to the start of [[Hutchinson Gospel Chapel, KS|Hutchinson Gospel Chapel]] where he eventually landed, in the mid-1940's, and he was also the primary founder of [[Kansas Bible Camp]] in 1946. And the magazine he edited grew to include many Brethren writers during its tenure thru minimally 1953, both regional authors as well as globally known.
