Mr. & Mrs. R.M. {Pasco, WA)
Our children recently received their Y.E.S. lessons on the fall
Feasts. They liked them very much and said they plan to use them at
the Feast. I like the easy-to-read printing as well as the overall
format and design. Our children also like the YOUTH 81 magazine very
much. Many thanks to all who had a part in preparing these publica
tions.

Life Changed Through Literature
I am writing to express my deepest thanks to you for sending me The
PLAIN TRUTH each month, as well as different free booklets and The
Bible Correspondence Course.
For as long as I can remember I had
always thought of life as miserable, without meaning, joy or
happiness. Your booklets have changed my life completely. I now wake
up each new day rejoicing, no matter what is in store. The PLAIN TRUTH
anj the Bible Correspondence Course help me apply the Bible to today's
world, something I always thought impossible.

magazine for two years. I read other magazines and newspapers and
watch TV, but I think that your magazine is of a high standard, sophis
ticated and clearsighted. It stimulates thinking about everything.
In my opinion, your magazine is the most objective and truthful.
Thank you very much, Mr. Armstrong!

ago to become a potent political force in Western Europe.
Last month,
during two weekends of demonstrations, leaders of the movement called out
more than 850,000 protesters into the streets of five capital cities.
Europe
I
s new neutralists are specifically determined to scuttle a NATO
agreement, reached in December 1979, to deploy a new generation of nuclear
missiles on European soil.
A force of 572 Pershing II •s and ground
launched cruise missiles are slated to be positioned to offset the Soviet
Union's nuclear buildup against Western Europe.
Youths are in the forefront of the neutralist movement, the fact being that
a new generation of Europeans is maturing politically, one with no personal
experience of World War II, the Berlin blockade or the cold war. Nurtured
on detente, this generation has a different view of the United States than
do Europe's elders. To the former, Americans are not viewed as the libera
tors of Europe, but rather as the oppressors of the poor and politically
