the fleet are not profiting. It's really hard on most fishermen
around the coast. It has never been this bad before. Most people
that I know are quitting. My captain even admits that God must be
with us as we have been doing very well. It really is amazing
that one boat out of a hundred is prospering and that's the one I
am on. So it sure pays to tithe.

You mentioned recently in an editorial the man who had not been
tithing his eggs. For some reason we had never realized that we
should have been tithing ours. Immediately we began tithing them
and our egg production doubled! Now we have enough eggs for our
family, whereas before we had to buy extra. And to think we had
been blaming the poor hens--and even threatening them with the

frying pan.

Thank you again, Mr. Armstrong, for helping to
open our eyes to truth!
Mrs. E.H. (Weatherford, TX)
I have been remiss in my tithing, and it seems to have had an
adverse effect on my finances. I understand much more now about
God's Law of love through your publications. I see the need to
obey God's Law in tithing, the Sabbath and the annual feasts. I
am spending more time in God's Word and less on the things of the
world. Recently, I had been wrestling with a problem in seeking
employment, but came to realize the easiest way for me to be able
to observe the Sabbath is by working harder as an insurance
agent. I 3,

t my own work hours a.,d days and thefeby -can refuse to
work on the Sabbath.
As I become more aware of God
1
s Word, I find things work much
faster for or against me. If I violate the Sabbath by making
appointments, I don't sell. If I violate the tithing laws, I
can't make appointments and the ones I do make are without merit.
It is indeed a miracle how things work out according to my
obedience.

BEHIND THE NUCLEAR FREEZE MOVEMENT--ANOTHER MORALITY CONNECTION One of the
biggest pressures on President Reagan right now is the rather sudden
emergence of a broad-based movement calling for a "freeze" in the nuclear
arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union.
The term "arms race," it should be noted (though the press rarely does) is
mostly a misnomer, the u.s.s.R. having done most of the racing the past 20
years, ever since its embarrassment during the 1962 Cuban missile square
off. Since that time the U.S. has essentially been hopping up and down in
place, for the most part improving technology, rather than increasing
either megatonnage or number of delivery systems.
(This, however, would
change with advances in the cruise missile program.)
Nevertheless, Mr. Reagan's political opponents are attempting to capture
the rather amorphous nuclear freeze crowd for their own political gain.
