PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, NOVEMBER 2, 1981
PAGE 10
Satan used human reason and make-up and WOMEN to START the ball of
LIBERALISM AWAY FROM GOD and TOWARD SIN to rolling in the Church beginning
October 1974.
Finally, I repeat, sin, spiritually, is self-centeredness, self
exaltation, desire to be beautiful, vanity, coveting, desire to GET and
TAKE, to exalt the self, jealousy and envy, competition, oft-resulting
violence and war, resentment and rebellion against authority. These are
the PRINCIPLES of spiritual SIN.
Christ is GETTING
us
BACK ON THE TRACK!
BIG SANDY CAMPUS UPDATE
I know all of you have read about the start of the college year in the
PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT and THE WORLDWIDE NEWS. In Big Sandy, the faculty
and students have started to settle down to the realities of everyday col
lege life after the "high" everyone was on over Mr. Armstrong's visit to
start the college, and the emotion of having the campus teaming with life
again after four years.
It certainly is different having a two-year program. The sophomores are
striving diligently to be an example and provide leadership. We keep re
minding ourselves not to make seniors out of them though. They are doing a
fine job of setting the Ambassador pace and bringing the A.C. atmosphere
from Pasadena. We also have a fine freshman class that is making good prog
ress and we expect a lot from them as well.
Those of us who have been on the campus before still look into the buildings
and around the campus to expect things to be as they once were. But when
the college was closed down four years ago, many of the furnishings, paint
ings, equipment and supplies were taken to Pasadena or sold, no one expect
ing at that time that the college might reopen.
Mr. Armstrong has enthusiastically helped us get off to a fine start, but
cautioned everyone to be ready for a "pioneering" effort and to operate the
college this first year on a "shoestring" budget. So we will have to ex
ercise patience as we wait for some of the finer physical things to be pro
vided when finances permit.
Some of the new buildings or remodeled older buildings are very much ap
preciated. The science classroom, while void of laboratory equipment at
the moment, nevertheless is a fine facility. New laboratory equipment is
on order, though it will take about three months to install.
All of the 192 students are living in the newer dormitories with no students
living in Booth City this year. Mr. Armstrong plans to have 300 total stu
dents at Big Sandy next year, so Booth City will open at that time with 100
students.
