Fantastic changes have taken place in the
world during that 40 years. Many proud mass–
circulation magazonlls in the United States were
torced to cease publication - among them the
Saturday Evening Post. Life.

While
they were going to the wall. the
Plain Truth

ber of pages. improving in quality and
appearance.
41st Anniversarv lssue
The time has come when the editors ol the
Plain Truth
feel we must produce a less costly
type of magazine, in keeping with the times. but

important books ever written.
Today we are heading straight into the intol–
erable paradox of a world-cataclysmic collision
course:
On the one hand. the human mind has
proved so superbly capable that i t can produce
the incredible computer and send men safely to
the moon and back . among other marvels.
Sut on the other hand, the same human
mind has proved utterly
HElPlESS
before our
human problems, troubles and evils here on
earth.
Human leaders for six thousand years have
striven in vain to bring about world peace But
at the same t ime science. technology and indus–
try have produced nuclear and other awesome
weapons capable of blasting all lile off the earth.

Today more than
HALF
ol all humanity is
illiterate or nearly so, existing in abject poverty
and starvation, wracked with disease. living in

And yet modern science cannot find the

nor solve our fatal problems. All religlon
has
failed utterly
to make this a better. happier
world or show us the way to world peace. Higher
education. intent on constant

answers! Governments. supposed to be the ben·

being overthrown, because dissenters conclude
that they have fai led.

wrong?
Where are the
answers?
Could this whole world have been oeceoveo?

The true
ANSWERS
do exist. But they have
not been given by religion . Science has never
discovered them. Higher education has never
known roor taught them. And they are even fur–
ther from the field of politics and human govern–
ment.
