Comments From Monthly Church Reports
ROANOKE, VA--ROBERT PERSKY:
The brethren love having Mr. Arm
strong on TV each Sunday. His presentation is so gripping and so
inspiring from start to finish. The brethren in Roanoke have
never been so excited and dedicated toward the Work as they are

LAKE CRYSTAL/MINNEAPOLIS (SOUTH), MN--VICTOR KUBIK: We are get
ting excellent numbers of new people writing for The PLAIN TRUTH
as a result of watching one of the two weekend telecasts.
Several new PMs are beginning to attend services.
On the Sabbath of September 25th, an elderly blind lady collapsed
