Comments From Monthly Church Reports
LAFAYETTE, IN--CHUCK CALAHAN:
We are having an influx of new
people coming to services. Most are friends and relatives of
members. Many have commented on how strongly God is using Mr.
Armstrong. His telecasts seem to picture a man in his 60's and
the message is straight to the point.
COLUMBUS (A.M.), OH--ROBERT DICK: There is a steady flow of new
PM's coming in, something we have not had for years. There is
also excellent growth in the number of new readers of the PT as a
result of the telecast--also something we have not had in years.
MOBILE, AL--STEVEN D. MOODY: We have had an upturn in PM visits.
Several people we had contacted many months ago are asking for

Armstrong's travels.
EVANSVILLE, IN--C. FRED BAILEY: Please convey to the writers and

comments in regard to recent articles for the brethren. They
state that the timely subjects and the powerful, straightforward
style is very helpful to them in their lives.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA--LES McCOLM: Enthusiasm runs very high in
this Church area. We have more volunteers for The PLAIN TRUTH
newsstand program than we can really use. This is fast becoming
the youngest (in age) congregation I have ever had the privilege
of working with. Thank you very much for sending Mr. Tom Root and
Mr. Dick Burky out here for Pentecost services. They both did a
very fine job--inspiring.
PORTSMOUTH, OH--DAVE TREYBIG:
Have visited several excellent
PM's recently. This is encouraging to the local congregation as
Portsmouth has not had much activity in the past few months. My
thanks to everyone who helped make the Refresher Program II such
an encouraging and educational success! The brethren thank you
too for the information in my sermons that has come from the
programt
BAKERSFIELD, CA--ALFRED MISCHNICK: The opportunity to attend the
fifth session of the Refresher Program was beyond my description.
It is setting things on balance now that we are quite well �ack on
the track. The Church here is warming up and the more rapid con-
