"Our fut u re líes in Asia" is the
recurring theme in sorne influen–
tial economic and politi–
cal circles in the United
States. This viewpoint is
usua11y coupled with the
call for the United States
to eventually cut defense
ties to Europe, to pu ll
United States troops out
of the Continent.
If enough West Euro–
peans don't like the pres–
ence of new Pershing 11
and cruise missiles sup–
plied by America to
NATO, follows this rea–
son i ng, then Jet the
Europeans either defend
themselves or make their
own security arrange–
ments with the Soviet
Un ion.
The end result will be
a Europe cut off from
America- but a Europe
eventually becoming a
" third force" superpowe r
of its own rank.

was challenged to examine the
other
concept of origins of mat–
ter-of the universe-and of life
upon the earth- the existence of
the Creator Goo!
I
entered into an
intensive in-depth research of ori–
gins, of causes and effects.
I
dis–
proved the evolutionary hypothesis.

reality of Almighty God the Cre–

1
proved conclusively, after
intensive night-and-day study, that
the Holy Bible is, índeed , the
inspired Word of God-literally
Goo SPEAKING, revealing spirituaJ
knowledge, history and prophecy
(history in advance).
And

I,
myself,
had been WRONG-wrong in what

lear ned the TRUTH about Jesus
Christ- a truth few, strange as it
may seem, really know!
1
not only
accepted Christ as Savior- 1 GAVE
myself and my life to him, to "brain–
wash" me- that is, wash my mind
clean of false beliefs and false knowl–
edge. To instruct me through his
word in TRUTH. He says, in the
Bible, that HIS WORD (the Bible) is
TRUTH. As he opened my mind to
comprehend, he gave me UNDER–
STANDING of WHY the world is as it
is-of the PURPOSE God is working
out here below, and what shall come
in the future.
Having been many years in the
publishing field,

wanted to start a
NEW kind of magazine-to make

plaín and clear and UNDERSTAND–
ABLE this marvelous revelation of
spiritual knowledge-of history and
prophecy-of life and its MEAN–
ING-of world conditions and what
God has planned for its future. Since
the Bible is God
speaking
to man–
kind- since it is the TRUTH- and
1
wanted to make that truth PLAINand
understandable,
1
decided (and ['m
sure God led me) to call the maga–
zine
The Plain Truth.
But
1
had learned that God says,
"Buy the truth, and sell it not"
(Prov.
23:23),
and God's way of life
is GIVING, rather than getting.
l
knew this magazine must not be
sold, but given freely. And yet my
magazine experience had shown me
that unless people ASK for it- sub–
scribe to it like other magazines-or
pick it up by their own free will and
