PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JUNE 26, 1981

including Mr. and Mrs. Paige and their daughter. The Israelis have really
appreciated the very fine example and the good work done by our students in
the past. I am sure we shall, once again, receive very good reports con
cerning the coming summer's digging in Jerusalem.
The diggers are
scheduled to arrive back in the U.S. on Wednesday, August 12th--shortly
before the 1981-1982 college year begins.
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Kissee are now here attending the Ministerial Refresher
Program and are looking forward to serving at the college in Big Sandy,
which is scheduled to open this fall.
The following quote from Mr. Francis Bergin's letter to me shows how minis
ters visiting Pasadena notice the continuing unity which God is giving us
here at Headquarters. Mr. Bergin says: " •..thank you for your hospitality
while I was on the refresher programme."
(The British still have
difficulty spelling properly.) "We thoroughly enjoyed the programme and I
am now looking forward to the next one! We were particularly impressed with
the sense of unity that now exists at Headquarters."
Please continue to pray for the students and faculty of Ambassador College.
We are here to serve God's Church.
--Raymond F. McNair, Deputy Chancellor
PUBLISHING SERVICES UPDATE
The redesign and reprinting of some of the Work's basic books is moving
along very well. Two of Mr. Herbert Armstrong's books and the Bible Story
series are presently in various stages of completion. The new paperback
version of THE MISSING DIMENSION IN SEX, published by the Church (not for
sale), is now available. The book is currently being mailed out in new style
protective cartons to the 200,862 people who have requested it both in the
U.S. and overseas since it was offered by Mr. Armstrong last year. Church
pastors should have received an advance copy in the mail by now.
The new paperback version of THE INCREDIBLE HUMAN POTENTIAL, also published
by the Church, is now being printed. We expect delivery in early July.
Both of these new "paperbacks" are in our 5� x 8� regular booklet size and
are intended to be used to fulfill needs created by our church promotions
via Mr. Armstrong's ads, TV or PT/GN ads.
The newly redesigned Volume I of the four or five volume set of the Bible
Story is in its final stages of production prior to going to one of the
largest book printers in the world, the Arcata plant in Kingsport, Ten
nessee. Plans call for completed books of Volume I to be distributed at the
Feast of Tabernacles. An advance copy of each volume will be sent first
class to all church pastors soon after production is completed on each one.

ON THE WORLD SCENE
FRANCE: COMMUNISTS IN; POLAND: RUSSIANS STILL HESITATE Europe, both East
and West, is 1n a state of dynamic tension. In France, Socialist President
Francois Mitterrand has brought Communist ministers into the French
government for the first time since 1947. Four Communists will hold four
relatively minor, non-security related posts out of 43 portfolios. The
move was surprising in that Mitterrand's Socialists won a clear majority in
the parliamentary elections of June 14 and 21, and thus did not require
