Appendicitis Healed
God has just worked a most wonderful miracle in my life! About a
month ago I was suddenly beset with intense stomach pains follow­
ed by vomitting and more pain. I could not even stand up. We
immediately called for an anointed cloth to be sent. The pains
increased and I was only able to drink ice water. The signs read
appendicitis.
I decided to put myself in God's hands and not go to the hospital.
It is easy to say that now, but at the time I was often weak and
had doubts, especially when my appendix burst and the pain was so
great that I was delirious. But our merciful Father strengthened
me and gave me faith.
It was two weeks before the pain quit and I was able to sleep at
night. A week later I was out of bed. God healed me of a most
serious illness that generally causes death when left untreated!
This truly is a miracle.

ON THE WORLD SCENE

RED DRIVE IN CENTRAL AMERICA CONTINUES The Soviets and their Caribbean
surrogates, the Cubans, are moving as fast as caution will permit to ca­
pitalize on U.S. weakness in Central America.
The buildup of Nicaragua into a Marxist regional superpower was covered in
this column last week. That buildup coincides with the continual strength­
ening of Cuba's own military might.
Despite confused protests from Washington (the Pentagon wants a direct
face-off with Moscow, the State Department urges private diplomatic
protests) , the Soviet Union has shipped a squadron of new warplanes to
Cuba. The planes, probably MiG-23's, arrived in Cuban ports disassembled
in crates. A major reason for the Pentagon concern is that one version of
