LEITERS TO THE EDITOR
U.S. and Britain in
Prophecy
1 have just completed my
reading of
The United States
and Britain in Prophecy
and
found it, in all sincerity, one
of the most interesting and
thought-provoking books that
1
have read in a long while.
I
have, during the past
couple of years now, gradually
cultivated an ever-increasing
interest in history, especially
that of Europe and Britain in
particular. Tbis book only
served to heighten my interest.
1
found the ideas put
forward most intriguing and
original in conception.
lt
is
indeed always a refreshing
experience to learn of new
thoughts and interpretations
given to, sometimes,
thoroughly overworked and
tired themes, though
1
must
admit to having never read
any other material on the
subject of "The Lost Ten
Tribes," never before giving
much thought to the enigma
of their disappearance from
the face of the earth- that is
before now.
You may be pleased to
know that my interest in
European history was initially
germinate.d by tbe serialised
Plain Truth
article "The
History of Europe and the
Church."
lt
is in fact your
articles on Europe and its
imminent, though fragile,
unification t hat I find of
greatest interest.

Young Subscribers Speak Out
As a young
Plain Truth
subscriber and from what
J
have read so far,
l
am quite
pleased and interested in all of
the free literature provided for
me. 1 have also enrolled for
the Correspondence Course,
and I find it very inspiring.
Now that my summer holidays
have begun, I plan to make
44
good use of it by continuíng
with the Bible Course, reading
The Plain Truth
and the
other free informative
booklets. They help me
understand fully various
subjects regarding the Bible
itself- my most valuable
object.

1
have been a
Plain Truth
subscriber for almost one year
and find it a superb magazine.
Although 1 am only 14 years
old,
I
still find it very
interesting and extremely easy
to understand.

This is to notify you to
please cancel my subscription
to
The Plain Truth.
Unfortunately,
1
don't have
any choice in the matter. My
parents won't allow your
literature in the house, and
there is nowhere else they
could be sent. Sorne booklets
t hat
I
ordered are also being
sent back to you by them.
1
thought it better to cancel.
1
still listen and watch the
broadcasts on CFCW radío
and CFRN television.
I
hope
that sometime in the future 1
will be able to subscribe again.
The Plain Truth
is a
wonderful magazine as ís the
World Tomorrow
program. 1
feel very bad about this.

1 star ted reading
The Plain
Truth
ayear ago at age 15
and l think it's great,
especíally now that you have
those special segrnents about
child rearing- it really makes
you think.
In your May issue you had
an article entitled " For Teen
Eyes Only." 1 thought it was
fantastic! And 1 really
encourage you to write more
of those because they make us
think and parents understand.

lntended for Someone Else
One of our son's friends left
a copy of
The Plain Truth
at
our home.
1
believe it was
actually íntended for her
mother.
I
decided
I
would start
reading the article on abortion
(very informative) and just
kept reading article after
article.
I
am halfway through
the magazine and am enjoying
it thoroughly.

Youth Should Protest-But
How?
My letter is about your
article "Youth Should
Protest ... But How?"
I
th ink that youth should
protest. This is international
year of the youth and what do
you hear on the news? The
U.S.S.R. and U.S.A. talk
about nuclear weapons.
If
we
don't protest now, we could
wake up tomorrow fighting a
war.
I
think that all weapons
should be put in a spaceship
and launched towards the sun.
That is the plain truth.

1
recently picked up a copy
of
The Plain Truth
when the
cover headlines caught my
eye-"Youth Should Protest,
But How?"
1 feel the author, John
Halford, did an excellent job
not only on the article but on
taking the time to understand
the youth of today. I am 17
years old and am exactly as
t he author puts it, " ... deeply
disturbed by the crazy,
mixed-up world that 1 soon
must inherit."
It
made me feel so good to
actually read that someone
(namely an adult) actually did
not condemn the youth of
today as being a bunch of
deranged, moral-less beings
who have no respect for
anythi ng or anyone.
Halford realized, and made
others realize through his
article, that the youth of today
are not as far out as adults
tend to believe. We just want
tO
DO SOMETHING
about our
world rather than sit back and
watch it self-destruct.
Halford also exposed the
only key to straightening out
this world. That is by
beginning to live now
according to the laws of God
that are for our own good.
J ust imagine if everyone did.

1
must endeavor to
congratulate you for this
timely article " Youth Should
Protest- But How?"
You made it clear that the
root of al! evils on earth today
started right from the garden
of Eden as a result of Adam's
rebellion against
God.
It
was
so because he and his wife
listened to the
archenemy-Satan.
Youths are protesting,
though not only youths, to be
precise. Many people are
starving, particularly in Africa
(Ethiopia).
1
was particularly
impressed because you gave
the solutions to the problems
by saying, " But the world's
problems are too big for a
Band Aid-the earth needs
1,000 years of intensíve
care- and only God can give
us that." This is wonderful.
Picase keep on publishing
articles for the nations to be
more enlightened as regards
the world's conditions.
