PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JANUARY 25, 1985
The reason I'm really writing is to congratulate you understand
ing people on what an A+ job you did on your magazine and with my
history as well. That's right! I was making D's and E's until
your magazine came along. So keep sending them.
A.S. · (Thomasville, NC}
I was recently reading an article on nuclear war. The one thing I
can't understand is why one man would want to hurt or even kill
another. It's so destructive. What would God say if He saw the
people He made committing a sin. Thou shalt not kill, but man
still does. It's just like when Israel was freed from Egypt,
they promised God they would follow His commandments and as soon
as God freed them, they were back to worshipping a golden calf. I
truly feel sorry for God, seeing His people sin, kill, lie and
destroy one another. I truly hope God can help His people on this
problem.
I'm eleven years old and I care about my world I have to grow up
in and possibly have a wife and kids in. I don't want them to be
in danger by a nuclear war.
s.w. {Westlands, MI}
I have to admit I am only ten years old, but your messages are
getting through my mind and I read all the books you have sent. I
even take them to school and read them in my spare time. I know
you expected me to be a grownup. I hope you won't stop my sub
scription to your magazines, because I really enjoy them.
ON THE WORLD SCENE
COMING SOON: THE DOLLAR POUND?;

THE LIBERAL AGENDA {WATCH OUT FOR 1988)
The British pound continues, as do all major currencies, to shrink in rela
tion to the strong U.S. dollar. Experts predict that the pound, now about
$1.11, may reach equity with the dollar as early as February. Even though
the British economy has improved considerably in recent months, it seems
that nothing is able to arrest the decline of the pound. The decline is
particularly galling, especially in the aspect of national pride and pres
tige. Here are excerpts of a report on the "Plunging Pound" published in
the January 17 WALL STREET JOURNAL:
In 1864, during the U.S. Civil War, the British pound hit an all
time high of $9.92. It's been downhill ever since.
The drop has never been sharper than it has been lately, as the
pound sterling approaches the once-unthinkable level of� pound
to � dollar. Newspaper cartoonists are having a field day.
One drew a combination one-pound-one-dollar note depicting George
Washington (smiling) and Queen Elizabeth II (frowning). In an
other cartoon, the queen implores Sir Isaac Newton, whose por
trait is on the one-pound note, "Do something! You're supposed
to know all about gravity."
