Being single and wrapped up in myself made life very mean
ingless, and raising my tTAo small sons almost irnpossible. But
now, through His divine purpose, God has provided a better way.

Student Helped by Mr. Armstrong's Book
I am a prospective member of the Worldwide Church of God and a
sophomore in college. I am reading your book, THE MISSING
DIMENSION IN SEX •..• It has been one of the most inspiring books
I
have ever read in my life. This book is not only backed up by the
authority of the Bible, but
I
can very easily relate the
statements about the "new morality" to college dorm students who
live around me. Thank you for giving me this book because now I
have a true understanding about sex that no one else in the
entire school has.
I
have thanked God for the precious truth He
has revealed to me through your book and I would like to
encourage you to go on.

A Child Writes...
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
I
was in school and
I
did Halloween work­
sheets.
I
felt so bad that
I
went into the boy's bathroom and
prayed. Then
I
went back into the classroom and wrote a Feast of
Trumpets story.
I
felt bad when I went home, because
I
did the
Halloween worksheets. When
I
got home my mummy and daddy felt
good and so did I.

Grateful for Mr. Armstrong's Untiring Efforts
Thank you so very much for your untiring and totally dedicated
efforts in seeking the truth and speaking the truth. Thank you
for exemplifying the strength and fruit of the Holy Spirit and
setting the pace for this Great work. We are most certainly
excited and joyous over the new revelations the Eternal has given
you.
we
thank Him and you for bringing us into an even brighter,
more powerful aspect of the truth. Oh, the knowledge about the
tree of life is so great, so wonderful, so awesome, so exhilara­
ting. We pray that God will strengthen and inspire you to keep on
praying, studying, fasting and striving.
We are striving with
you.

ON THE WORLD SCENE
POLISH CRISIS SHOWS ONLY WAY EUROPE CAN UNITE The crackdown was inevit­
able. But its speed and thoroughness still came as a shock to the world
nevertheless. Overnight, in the early hours of December 13, the backbone
of political defiance to communist rule in Poland was broken.
Though pockets of resistance remain, the bulk of the leadership of
Solidarity, Poland's free labor movement--a budding political counterforce
--has been either arrested or dispersed, isolated from its 10 million
strong membership at large. The flickering flames of freedom that Poles
thought they were detecting have been snuffed out once again.
