PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, DECEMBER 2, 1986
PAGE 13
Last week I finished
Mr.
Armstrong's 'Autobiography.'
I
enjoyed it very much. I laughed and I cried, I felt sad at
parts and happy at others. It has opened my eyes to a few
things about God's truths, and I
am
so
glad for it.
Florida
Thank you
so
much for the book about
Mr.
Armstrong. It is
amazing1 I grew up in Oregon and have been to the very places
he lived. I
am
so
sorry I did not get to meet him, but this
book is very interesting! I look forward to the next edition.
California
We are taking this opportunity to thank you for 'The
Autobiography of Herbert W. Armstrong.' This book and
'Mystery of the Ages" are among our most cherished
possessions. We are happy to have them grace our bookshelves,
and we expect that in time they will become worn from being
read and reread by our many friends and family members.
Michigan
Thank you
so
very much for sending
me a
copy of the book on
Mr.
Armstrong. I
am
sure he will have a good position in the
world tomorrow, because he did what God wanted
him
to and
preached and explained His Word.
New Mexico
Thank you
so
much for your gift
of
the "Autobiography.' I
must say that I cannot remember the last time
I
read
a
book
as
interesting as this one. I was actually sad to come to the
end of this beautifully written, informative book on the life
of
a
true man of
God.
Needless to say, it has left me
thirsting for more reading of the life of
Mr.
Armstrong.

ON THE
WORLD
SCENE
SINGLE EUROPEAN ACT APPROVED IN BRITAIN;
THE POPE'S GROWING ROLE
AS
WORLD
SPOKESMAN FOR PEACE
Homentous
Decision
for
Britain
In Britain, the debate on legislation to
either approve or reject British adoption of the Single European Act is
over. In the first week of November, the House of Lords approved the
European Communities (Amendment) Bill by an overwhelming 124-vote
majority. It was not possible to amend any of the provisions of the
Single European Act. The parliaments of Britain and all the other 11 EC
members are required to either ratify it as
a
package or n6t--a simple
"yay
or
nay." Thus there exists
a
certain inevitability about the Single
European Act, whose
main
thrust is to introduce qualified majority voting
in place of unanimity in broad areas of Community economic and social
life, with the aim of a truly single, harmonious market by the end of
1992.' The main logical argument given by those favoring it
is
basically
this: "Look, we've come this far, we can't turn back now. We must
eliminate the remaining barriers to free trade in goods, services and
labor.
