PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JUNE 21, 1985
while the second Holy Day offering increased by 5.2%. These offerings were
still very fine when compared to the exceptionally high offerings received
last year during this festival. We are grateful to the members for their
continuing support of God's Church through the Holy Day offerings, espe­
cially in light of the current industrial unrest and economic uncertainty
in this country.
In Asia The PLAIN TRUTH subscription list is growing quite rapidly. Adver­
tisements in the February issue of READER'S DIGEST in Taiwan, Hong Kong,
South Korea and Sri Lanka have brought in 1,391 responses so far, with the
bulk of responses yet to reach us. The Asian mailing list currently has
63,265 subscribers--an 81.1% increase over April, 1984.
In Sri Lanka "The WORLD TOMORROW" telecast is aired weekly on channel
ITNll, Colombo, and Mr. Armstrong's messages continue to capture the
interest of viewers in that country. So far this year 1,619 requests for
the literature offered by Mr. Armstrong on the programme have been re­
ceived.
The count of responses from Asian subscribers to Mr. Armstrong's November,
1984, semiannual letter has now been finalised. Asian readers requesting
the booklets offered by Mr. Armstrong in his letter totalled 10,987--20.5%
of the Asian mailing list.
