MERIDEN, CT--LARRY WOOLDRIDGE:
About 120 local Church members
are now involved in The PLAIN TRUTH newsstand program. Excite

Airport. We've received an increase from 25,000 PTs to 44,000 as
a result of this program. The magazine should make a tremendous
impact.

Several members have em

profitable and spiritually rewarding Feast they have ever
attended. Comments revolve around the fellowship as well as the
inspiring messages given throughout the Feast--especially by Mr.
Waterhouse who painted such a vivid picture of God's Government
and the World Tomorrow. A number of people have mentioned that
the Feast was a "decided" turning point in their lives.
