PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, DECEMBER 30, 1983
to other senior citizens in our community who are interested.
You'd be surprised how many are.
J. & M.K. (Grosse Ile, MI)
I love my PLAIN TRUTH magazine. I look forward to it every month.
I can't wait to read your "Personal" message. I'm a poor writer
and a slow reader.
I have arthritis in my hands so it's no fun
to write. I love the many articles about world affairs. They are
interesting.
I'm a 71-year-old widow and don't have much money, just my Social
Security to live on, but I'm sending this to help in our Lord's
work. I have learned a lot I never would have known if it weren't
for your booklets.
V.R. (Lyons, WI)
Your messages, books and magazines have been a real blessing to
us. For years the Holy Bible has been our church. Much of the
Bible we did not understand very well.
We listened to many
broadcasts of the various churches and were more confused than
ever.
Then we happened to receive your message over TV one
morning and answers to many of our questions became more and more
clear. Now, we have most of your booklets and magazines.
We are old people, crippled to some extent with arthritis, so we
have time to think and study God's Word. Sometimes I think our
afflictions are really a blessing after all. My husband will be
91 in April and I will be 94 in May.
We have so much to be
thankful for. God has been so good to us, and we pray for you
too.
Thank you for the hope you are sending to our troubled
world.
Mr. & Mrs. P.H. (West Sacramento, CA)
It is always a pleasure for us elderly people to receive your
magazine and to hear your Sunday broadcast on TV. Some of us can­
not get around as much anymore. Also, some of these daily news­
papers do not always tell the truth.
I.H. (Portland, OR)
I am enclosing the renewal card for your magazine for another
year. I am also sending a donation. It is not much as I am 88
years old and live on Social Security. I enjoy your magazine so
much as I am not able to travel due to my age, so I visit all
these places through your magazine.
A.M. (Norfolk, VA)
I find The PLAIN TRUTH is global in coverage, stimulating in con­
cept and spiritual in application. It is my basic standard of
thinking because it reduces to a minimum the verbiage so rampant
in the media.
I
depend upon your editorial wisdom because it is
far-reaching and expressed with a rare sense of justice for your
readers to relish and grow with informed minds. I am grateful
indeed for its contents each month and, although I am 90 years of
age, I keep up!
A thousand thanks to you and your well-equipped
staff.
H.K. (Eliot, ME)
