world, telling the truth about
the happenings in the world.
Thank you for your courage

1
received your address
from a friend.
1
have been
reading your magazine with
great interest.
1
had a chance
to read the corresponding
scriptures to the different
articles during a stay at the
hospital.
1
am always amazed at the
message of the Bible in light
of today's news.
lt
can't
be
emphasized enough as to how
necessary your publications are
for a better understanding of
the Bible. Your magazine was
the reason why
1
decided to
get out my dusty Bible and
look into the book of books.
1
really look forward to each
issue of
The Plain Truth.

1
have received last week
my first copy of the
Plain
Truth
magazine.
1 saw your advertisement in
California where
1
spent my
holidays Jast summer.
1
was
really impressed the way it has
been dealing with the main
news topics.
1
want to thank
you and your fellow workers
for Jetting me become a
subscriber.

1 am so grateful for my
brother who happened to come
on the Greyhound from
Vancouver, where he had
found a copy of your magazine
The Plain Truth.
He knew 1
have been always wanting to
read such magazines like
yours, and believe me that
first magazine was the most
precious gift he ever gave me.
Reading it soothes my inner
feelings of discomfort and fills
my heart with faith and
confidence- it helped me cure

myself from being sick of the
world around mo-l am sick
of the T .V. and radio news
such as killing, robbing, sex
abuse.
1
am an old woman of
76
who has lived in a different
world, back in Egypt. Yes, of
course there were such things
happening, but not so open
and continuously repeated
with no consideration for
chi ldren nor for the aged
people. May God help us to
cross the bridge and reach the
other shore where we may
find peace. May God grant
you, Mr. Armstrong, the best
health and long life to
continue brightening the
corners everywhere i.n the
world.

l
am an Egyptian Coptic
student studying in the United
States. Lately,
1
received a
copy of
The Plain Truth
and
was extremely impressed by it.
One thing bothers me here:
a lot of Americans do not
know the real truth about lhe
Copts of Egypt. Do you know
that the Coplic Pope (one of
the oldest churches in the
world) was exiled? Do you
know that Coptic cburcbes
were bombed and sorne bornes
put on tire? A lot of these
facts remain hidden from the
world.
1
do recommend you do
sorne research on tbat, as l'm
sure an article on that subjecl
would be of great interest to a
lol of people.
Mr. Armstrong, do keep
going on spreading the word
of peace and love.

magazine
The Plain Truth,
I
drop every activity behind to
digest all your interesting

is unique, because in every
article there is a biblical
message quotable in precise
terms .
1 conclude by suggesting lo
include a medical article on
current discoveries to enhance
lhe curiosity of many
readers.

Useful to Understand
Chrlstlanlty
This is about your free
booklet on Cbristmas customs
offered in the
NovemberJ December
Plain
Truth.
Being a Hindu by
origin, 1 don't know too
much about these things. But
my children are being
brought up in Canada.
It
will
be useful for them to
understand Christianity-the
meaning and symbols of
Christmas, Santa Claus and
the origin of excbanging
gifts, mistletoe, etc.
If you could, kindly send
me your free booklet, so
1
can share the ideas witb my
friends and relatives.
1
appreciate your effort in
helping us to understand
Christianity.

1
must say that
1
do
enjoy reading your magazine
and have since the early
sixties. Sorne of the statements
made do stir up controversy.
1
have to agree with sorne and
disagree with others.
On the subject of
Christmas,
1
will agree with
you wholeheartedly, but
1
doubt if our society is ready to
accept such radical changes in
our holidays, and traditional
way of thinking. One wonders
if our traditional way of
worshipping God will
eventually lead to our
destruction, as declared in the
Bible.
One thing is certain, your
magazine does indeed make
people think, and go to the
Bible for research and
that in itself is good. On the
other hand, organized religion
would take a different
view.

Correspondence Course
lndeed the comments
received by otber students
concerning this course are in
no way too exaggerated.
Personally, I've always wanted
to take up such a course, but
told myself it has got to be
good. What 1 was looking for
was precise information and
precise it is. 1 am now in my
eighth lesson, and every single
subject of the Ambassador
College Bible Correspondence
Course has been verified by
not just one or two, but
sometimes as much as a dozen
examples to back up a specific
truth.

l'm so excited about finding
out the truth. I'm sick of this
world. I'm tired of turning on
the T.V. or radio, and hearing
about who got killed, raped,
mugged, beaten or stabbed.
1
realize now
I
can't live
without God.
1
have had my chance to
live in this sick world, and
1
hale it.
1
know now
1
want
God.
J
need God. And
1
want
to thank you,
Mr.
Armstrong,
for the free booklets l've
received. I'm really enjoying
the book called
Where ls the

I
am very grateful to have
been able to help God's work
and his people through tithing
and
1
did not go without
blessings as a result of
it.
On the fi rst day of the tithe
year
I
received a raise in my
salary that completely covered
the tithe payment. On the last
day of the tithe year 1
attended a wedding-mine.
What blessings God bestows
on us- even beyond the
awesome gift he gives us of
being able to serve his work
and to help people.

1 have been blessed with
occasional jobs all year and
have taken out my tithe
faithfully. This is the most
l 've ever been able to send in.
l 've truly been blessed this
year. 1 know it will be put to
good use and 1 hope tbat
maybe it could even help to
help someone else. I've
been so generously given to,
that it is with great pleasure
that 1 am able to give in
return.
