THINK of it! NEVER BEFORE in modern history such a ghastly unthinkable tragedy as the MASS SUICIDE of more than 900 people! In a ritualistic "religious" ceremony, parents administering a mixed drink of fruit juice and cyanide, then watching their little ones writhe in piercing painful conv ...

Plans are almost complete for the second International Y.O.U. Conference. To date we have received forms from 340 representatives, representing 170 U.S. churches. This means that there are still 75 local chapters from whom we have not heard. We have 30 international youths from fourteen countries co ...

S.E.P. Camp this year is still on. By cutting the staff by 30% and raising the tuition to $300 per session we can still operate much as usual. The tuition raise may seem rather steep to some until it is compared to the inflation rate over the same three years since the last raise took place. The ...

Progress has been made in paving the way for Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong's visit to the People's Republic of China in early September. Making advance arrangements for Mr. Armstrong is Mr. Stanley R.

Question: Should a minister be called "Reverend"? Answer: In Psalm 111:9 we read: "... He [God] hath commanded his covenant forever: holy and REVEREND is His name." Other translations of this verse describe God's name as "glorious," "awesome," "inspiring awe," "majestic" and "terrible." Th ...

THANK YOU, brethren, for the fine response to my previous letter regarding the financial need at this particular season of the year. Once again, as it has been every year for the past four years, we have not had to borrow a million or more dollars at the bank in January, to be paid back in April. Go ...

We have just completed a very encouraging Passover and first Holy Day service in Pasadena. We had a record attendance for both the Passover and first Sabbath - 2,545 took the Passover while 3,535 were in attendance for the first Holy Day service. Both the Passover and the first Holy Day had more in ...

Just received some encouraging statistics from the Canadian office on the PT. At present the PT reaches some 58,750 subscribers in English and 22,758 in the French language in Canada. A newsstand program is again being launched in Canada and it appears quite successful. A total of 140,000 newsstand ...

"Mankind must put an end to war - or war will put an end to mankind." This shocking statement was made recently in an address to the United Nations assembly by President Kennedy. This entire world is fast plunging to destruction at the hand of man in world suicide or cosmocide. This present age is s ...

We are happy to report that P.T. Newsstand distribution has begun in Burbank Airport and in the departure area of Honolulu Airport. I mentioned in a recent Pastor's Report that we were planning to begin distribution through "Dobb's House" airport outlets in Austin, TX, San Antonio, TX, and Charl ...

THOUSANDS of ministers and missionaries on every continent claim to be the servants of God today. Hundreds of churches claim to be doing God's work in our age. But how many men or churches do you suppose God was using back in the time of the Flood? How many was He using at the time of the Exodus? ...

During Tuesday's all-day service in the Hall of Administration, Mr. Rod Meredith explained the intent and meaning of Romans 13 regarding our being "subject unto the higher powers," and how Paul's instruction specifically applies to our present confrontation with the state of California. Here are ...

I'm sorry for the necessity of this hurried last-minute announcement. We here at headquarters did not think about the fact there were so many who could assemble at one place, but who would not be able to go to Gladewater, and had made no plans for a service there. Just an hour ago I learned that s ...

Question: "I have noticed from various sources that Easter is pre-Christian in origin. I had assumed that it is a Christian commemoration of the resurrection of Christ and dating from the original Apostles. What is the answer?" Answer: A common assumption is that Easter was instituted by t ...

Lesson 12 of the Correspondence Course has run into a few last minute snags, but things are rolling again and it should be out soon. (I'm beginning to feel like the boy who cried "Wolf!" on that one!) The two new booklets, Tale of Two Prophets and Coming A New Age are doing well - we'v ...
