PUBLISHING SERVICES UPDATE
The highest number of requests generated by The PLAIN TRUTH in recent
years has come in for booklets advertised in the April edition.
We advertised the U.S. and Britain In Prophecy, Revelation Unveiled at
Last and Ending Your Financial Worries. So far, we have received well
over 24,000 requests for these booklets.
More positive coverage for QUEST and the Foundation took place last
Saturday and Sunday, the 3rd and 4th of May, in Chicago.
QUEST magazine was used by the Chicago White Sox Baseball Team in a
special promotional to 15,000 of their adult fans at the Saturday night
game. The White Sox owners are so impressed with what QUEST stands for
that they felt it fitted right in with their team's goals of questing for
the pennant
in
the playoffs.
The first 15,000 adults who came through the gates were given a copy of
the latest issue of QUEST, and the scoreboard carried further promotion
about QUEST. Prior to the game, QUEST magazine was promoted free by the
White Sox owners on radio spots in the Chicago area. On a Chicago Sunday
morning TV talk show, QUEST was used again by the Sox owners as an example
of a fine magazine. This kind of publicity we can't buy; it has to be
earned.

Blessings of Tithing Highlighted
My greatest pleasure is sending my tithes to you to be used in the
Work all over the world. I get great benefit out of all the booklets,
articles, reprints, the broadcasts, The PLAIN TRUTH, and The GOOD
NEWS, for which I thank you and all tithers and co-workers who have
made it possible. My tithes help make all these fine things possible
for others, I am sure.

Last pay period I was so inspired by your letters and an article
I'd read that I added five dollars to my tithes. Guess what
happened? This pay period I was given a raise! Yes, of $50 per
pay period or $100 per month!! I thought you would like to know.
