covered dish to her sick mother's house one afternoon when her
car was struck from behind while stopped at a traffic signal.
She was hit by a large delivery truck traveling above the speed
limit. To make a long story short, her car was totaled! However,
the member walked away from the accident with only two small
scratches!
Also of interest is the fact that even though both
seats were pushed forward to the dashboard, the covered dish for
her mother and several PLAIN TRUTH boxes were not damaged in the
least!

--Joe Tkach, Ministerial Services
On Monday, July 18th, 90 Japanese students from Bunkyo College in Tokyo
arrived on campus here, accompanied by seven adult leaders--instructors and'
chaperones.
They will be spending three weeks in an intensive study of
English, and will also study American history and culture.
While at
Ambassador they will visit many sites in and around the Los Angeles area.
This group is the largest we have ever hosted on campus here at Pasadena.
Previous groups numbered about 70 each.
Ten students, plus Mr. and Mrs. Steve Pelfrey and Mr. Ralph Levy, a member
of the AC Pasadena faculty, are now busy studying Chinese at Peking Univer
sity.
The following message was recently sent to Mr. John Halford at
Pasadena by Mr. Steve Pelfrey in Peking:

classes.
Accommodations are spartan but nice.
People at the
University here are very friendly and eager to please us.
Our Chinese course is rigorous.
and there is little spare time.

In the last PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT Mr. Hogberg covered Dr. Qtto von
Habsburg 's recent visit to the Southern California area, including his
address to the faculty, students, and employees. The ministers and their
wives attending the Ministerial Refreshing Program were also privileged to
attend his most interesting lecture on the urgent need for a united Europe.
We here at Headquarters hope all of you are having a very profitable as well
as enjoyable summer. It surely does seem as though this summer is whizzing
by quickly. Before long, we will have about 150 new students on campus for
the beginning of the 1983-84 College year!
