I
see your magazine everywhere, on college campuses, etc.
I
can't
tell you how wonderful it is that you provide your literature at no
cost. I am totally impressed by this. Your literature has helped my
spiritual growth enormously as I'm sure it has millions of others.
MAIL PROCESSING CENTER UPDATE
Weekly Radio Response Increases
S.B.
--Ray Wright, Publishing Services
Since the latter half of July, the Work's toll-free number has been given on
the radio broadcast. As a result, the number of calls received has con
tinued to climb. From July through September, radio response averaged 130
calls per week. However, the response in October nearly tripled! We re
ceived 370 calls per week, which is a 185% increase over the previous weeks.
Various factors undoubtedly contributed to this encouraging increase. One
was that prophetic booklets were offered, such as THE UNITED STATES AND
BRITAIN IN PROPHECY and THE BOOK OF REVELATION UNVEILED AT LAST. In addi
tion, listeners may be getting accustomed to hearing the telephone number
and therefore are more inclined to call. There is also a normal response
increase at this time of the year following the summer. Also, since Septem
ber twice as many radio stations carry the WATS number.

What a Wonderful Feast!
We have just returned from the Feast in Norfolk, Virginia. What a
wonderful time!
It was so much needed by both of us. We greatly
appreciated being able to hear you on both Holy Days. It certainly
added much to our Feast. You spoke of more love in the Church--this
was our sixth Feast and never have people been so warm and eager to
meet and talk with one another••.•
We are striving to put on that spiritual armour to stand against "that
wicked one" who would love to destroy us all.•••Thanks again for
speaking to us of things we need to know and apply. Keep up the good
work. We love you.

This has truly been the greatest Feast we ever spent, both physically
and spiritually! I cannot put into words the great blessing that God
poured out on His St. Petersburg Feast site. It went by much too fast.
We are very thankful for both of Mr. Armstrong's satellite messages
and his personal visit! We only hope and pray that we can put all that
