May PT Response
Readers are responding favorably to the May issue of The PLAIN TRUTH which
mainly featured articles on the problems of alcohol and drugs. Some are
requesting additional copies of the magazine and multiple copies of our
available 1iterature on the subject. Below is a letter received from a
counselor dealing with the problems of alcohol and drug abuse.
I would like to compliment you on the May issue of
magazine.
Being an alcoholism and drug abuse
rural Iowa county, I have a clear picture of
alcoholism and drug abuse in people's lives.

I would be interested in obtaining additional copies of the May
issue for me to take to public speaking events I have around the
county. About 200 issues would be helpful. In addition, I'd
like an equal number of the article reprint, "Alcohol and Drugs:
Modern Social Curses."
It is my hope that sometime in the future the articles in the May
issue, and perhaps all your past articles on alcohol and drug
abuDe, could be put into one booklet.

Interesting Phone Comments About the Telecast
As viewers call in and request literature offered on The WORLD TOMORROW
telecast, many comment about the quality of the program. Some are recog­
nizing that Mr. Armstrong is preaching the truth--unlike other ministers.
Below are a few of the phone comments received by our operators:
This man is making sense! I have been a Baptist all my life and
now I'm finding some of the beliefs I have been taught hard to
believe. The program yesterday about the true Gospel was wonder­
ful. Mr. Armstrong uses the Bible to illustrate, so it must be
true! Tell him to keep up the good work!
H.W. (Kernersville, NC)
Finally someone is getting down to what is really in the Bible.
Mr. Armstrong is fantastic. I love listening to him. My church
is just a social club--big fun time. I am not learning what I
should know.
K.H. (Baltimore, MD)
I never miss the program. It is so true--each scripture comes
alive.
I quit other churches because they didn't teach the
truth.
P.S. (Los Angeles, CA)
I am nearing 60 and am probably one of the worst sinners in the
world. I've never paid attention to any of the preachers before,
but I heard Mr. Armstrong and he makes sense. His message really
hit me in the heart! I can't wait to read the literature. Tell
Mr. Armstrong that he really knows what he is talking about and
is telling us what we need to hear!
