Week
Letter Comments
Our letters this week show that through Mr. Armstrong's autobiography,
readers have identified with his experiences as well as certain person­
ality traits. Other comments relate how The PLAIN TRUTH continues to
amaze people. They enjoy reading about current world conditions and are
fascinated to see events predicted by The PLAIN TRUTH taking place. And
many of our readers said Mr. Armstrong's ''Personal" in the August PLAIN
TRUTH was particularly appreciated, as it gave a heartwarming insight into
his personal life.
Readers Identify With Mr. Armstrong Through His Autobiography
Thank you, Mr. Armstrong, for writing your autobiography. It has
been a tremendous help and comfort, especially since it has paral­
leled what my husband and I are experiencing in our lives. My
husband is in the process of developing his own business. Your
approaches to advertising and dealing with customers has given him
ideas and encouragement. He has also tried to apply the principle
of being of service to others instead of trying to get from them.
--Mrs. Clayton E. Hoke (Newburg, PA)
