and opinions.
One would hesitate to say that he is biased, but he makes no
O

emphasis to be.

He just ups and

punching Vanimpee.
And as for Oral Roberts, well, he is the
impressario who produces the musical spectacular and introduces
into it his own particular brand of family-life sugar.

Newsletter Generatin� Good Return:
A flyer and card combination
featuring the Worldwide Church of God was sent with the "Co-Worker
Newsletter" last month.
Three booklets were offered:
Where Is God's
True Church?,
This Is The Worldwide Church of God, and Which Day Is
The Christian Sabbath?
Most importantly, a visit request was also
offered.
So far, we've received 527 visit requests.
We feel the response was helped by a special article featuring
excerpts from Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong's address to the 1978
Ministerial Conference.
The article was titled:
"Not The Work Of
Man -- It's The Work Of Christ."

finally completed.
Richard Sedliacik, John R. Schroeder and Ron
Nelson have all worked very hard on it.
The Doctrines of the Worldwide Church of God booklet, based on the
STP proJect, has also gone to composing today.
We are giving this
booklet top priority.
It will be sent automatically to all church
members.
It is chained to numerous booklets and reprint articles

which expand on the subjects summarized therein.
The international
areas will have to edit out some of these chainings due to the inavail­
ability of some of the literature advertised.
Those responsible for
international chaining and editing should check the manuscript care-

fully for this.
Results are beginning to come in on the February PT.
