Autobiography Mr. Armstrong has approved the reprinting of his auto
biography, volume 1.
He has asked for a completion date by April,
1986. Volume 2, which only appeared as a series in ·The Plain Truth"
in the 1960s, is scheduled to be printed in book form later in the
year. Many of our members and certainly a number of co-workers have
not had access to these valuable sources that describe the origins and
development of God's work.
These important books also show how
Christian principles can be applied in everyday life.
Calendar God's Sacred Calendar for 1986-87 should be available by the
end of January. This 32-page full-color booklet will be mailed auto
matically to all English-speaking members, one per household, world
wide.
The theme for the calendar will be "Mr. Armstrong as an
Ambassador for World Peace." For those members who have checked their
pocket calendar lately for Feast dates, they should be happy to know
that a new updated pocket calendar will be inserted in the calendar.
Response to AIDS Article From Mr. Rice's area, we find much response
has come in from Don Schroeder's article in the November-December
•p1ain Truth• on AIDS. Many commented that there has been a great deal
of fear and confusion about AIDS and little reliable information
written. Requests for multiple copies of the article have come in from
medical personnel, college professors, parents and youth organizations.
A few examples follow:
From Pennsylvania: "In the Nov.-Dec. 'Plain Truth' I read the article
'Sexually Transmissible Diseases' and thought it important and well
presented information. Would it be possible for you to send me some
reprints of this article to circulate around college dormitories? We
try to offer education in all facets of the students' lives.•
From Georgia: •Your article is one that should be a subject for lec
tures in every school in our country.
What would be the cost per
booklet if we ordered them for educational purposes for student distri
bution? I feel that the only way we can stem the tide of this terrible
epidemic is to emphatically educate our younger generation to the
terrible heartache they will bring upon themselves by ignoring the
dangers of promiscuity."
From North Carolina: "Your article is the most comprehensive, shocking
and educational on the subject of 'AIDS,' etc. I would appreciate your
sending me four copies that I might put each in the hands of our four
children.•
A reprint of this article is now being prepared to handle all the
requests.
•Good Revs• Appreciated Letters from our "Plain Truth" subscribers
also continue to come in thanking us for the offer of •The Good News."
