PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, MAY 11, 1984
Thank you for letting us know of your brother's illness--my
prayers are for you both at this most difficult time. He has
indeed given us so much beauty and joy through his music. What a
great honor our Father has given him, that he should have the
opportunity and talent to add the music to His beloved Psalms.
W.E. (Norfolk, VA)
I just wrote a letter to your brother Dwight Armstrong, thanking
him and telling him how much I enjoy singing the Psalms he so won
derfully put to music. I really love to sing and over these past
nine years in God's Church I have really become familiar with
many of the songs in my Bible Hymnal.
A.C. (Montpelier, VT)
Thank you for letting us know how ill your brother, Mr. Dwight
Armstrong, is so that we could write to him. My husband and I met
him about 16 years ago at the Feast of Tabernacles in Squaw
Valley. We told him then how much we loved the music that God had
inspired him
to
write.
I wrote and told him again a few days ago. We are praying for God
to take away his pain and his cancer, and that we are looking
forward to meeting him again in the resurrection--in God's
Kingdom.
Mr. & Mrs. E.V. (Farmersville, CA)
I am so glad you wrote about your brother Dwight. I have enjoyed
and appreciated his music for so many years. For the past three
years I have had the privilege of being pianist for our local
church, so I have been practicing through all the hymns in the
book every week. The more I play them, the more I appreciate the
quality of the music. I look forward to additional hymns he has
composed. I was pleased to have an opportunity to send him a card
and note of appreciation. His contribution to the Church and
Sabbath services is of inestimable value.
E.T. (The Dalles, OR)
Your letter, telling about your brother and your illness, arrived
today. I am so glad you let us know about him--I have often won
dered where he lived, etc. And I feel as if the psalm-hymns he
has made so familiar are a part of my mind! Often one will pop
into my head, and I find myself humming it.
He has a great
gift.
E.W. (Orange, NJ)
It was truly shocking to hear the news of the illness of Mr.
Dwight Armstrong. He has provided an added beauty to the Sabbath
day due to his God-given talent.
Mr.
&
Mrs. A.W. (Dallas, GA)
In your last letter you told us about your brother Dwight. As one
of the pianists here in Sacramento, all I can say is it's such a
delight playing the music he has written--helping us to sing the
very songs David and the congregation of Israel sang.
