PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, April 3, 1981
Page 17
I have now finished the Correspondence Course.
It is the best thing
that has happened to me.
It changed my thoughts, theories and
myths from my previous religious background to the inspired Word of
God.
I proved every chapter and verse quoted in the course. It
completely agreed with the Bible.
I've read other supplementary
literature.
It also agreed with the Bible.
I have learned that
life is an everyday relationship with God.
May God give me the
knowledge, wisdom and ability to continue.

ON THE WORLD SCENE
CRISIS IN POLAND:
WILL GERMANY FINALLY WAKE UP?
The Soviet Army is
poised around Poland, ready to strike.
Reports of troop movements, even
an airlift of supplies into a Russian base in southern Poland, are rife.
The calling off of this week's scheduled nationwide strike by the
Solidarity labor union movement has settled nothing.
Moscow is convinced
that the radicals in Solidarity are determined to turn the movement into
an alternate political force.
Such a development is absolutely imper­
missible in Moscow's eyes,of course.
The Kremlin prefers that Poland's
Communist leaders solve the crisis themselves but they seem powerless to
do so.
The Soviet press is firing one salvo after another at the "weak"
Warsaw government--just as it did _before Mr. Brezhnev "rescued" socialism
in Czechoslovakia in 1968.
