at a new high. Mr. Armstrong's tapes are much welcomed by the local
Church.
DAYTON (AM/PM), OH--DICK THOMPSON:
The sermon on "How to Keep the
Sabbath" gave a lot of help to the brethren. They commented that the
overview Mr. Armstrong gave cleared up several questions. Very happy
to hear about LTC material being sent out soon. The Y.O.U. manual has
been most helpful in the specific areas which it covered.
JOPLIN, MO--VINCE SZYMKOWIAK: Everyone is thrilled about the Feast-
all stated that this was the best spiritual Feast they ever attended.
Another observation is that the brethren are talking about the sermons
they heard more than the physical aspects of the Feast such as places
visited, restaurants, etc.
Please express my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Armstrong for his most
recent message on Sabbath keeping. I feel all the brethren need to
hear messages like that from him--they answer a lot of questions that
come up from time to time.
ADA, OK--DAVID CARLEY:
This Church is an extremely warm and close
Ch�rch. Solidly behind Mr. Armstrong. They are growing and overcom
ing. All seem to have had a great Feast which gave all a shot in the
arm for another year.
ALBUQUERQUE/FARMINGTON, NM--WALTER M. DICKINSON:
The members are
desirous of a closer relationship with God and are dedicating them
selves to more fasting and prayer to achieve this spiritual growth.
God has been answering prayer and intervening more directly than in
the past two years. There have been miraculous healings and direct
answers to prayers for jobs, changing of attitudes, increasing
families, solving personal problems.
BANNING, CA--JIM PEOPLES: Members enthused by upgraded Church location
and surroundings. Feast a real boost to the Church. People beginning
to realize that changes must be made in their personal lives if the
Church is to be put fully back on track.
HUNTSVILLE, AL--LAWSON J. TUCK:
I want to mention that I feel Mr.
Waterhouse's visits to the local Church areas are very solidifying for
the Church and help all to see the importance of church government. He
is a real asset to Mr. Armstrong and we appreciate the work he does.
The decision concerning make-up was accepted readily and with good
attitude by the large majority of the brethren. We have had no prob
lems in relation to this decision.

Third Tithe Payers Reap Blessings
As the Work continues to be put further on track, God is not only blessing
the preaching of the Gospel, but also rewarding individual members as they
