Emotional Maturity
One article that rnade me take notice
was "Ernotional Maturity" in the Au–
gust
Plain Truth.
l
began to understand
how far advanced you are of the other
educators in the field of psychology.
I
knew what you wrote had to be dead
center.
It
was like the dawning of a new
day in rny understanding. Now
I
need
to keep this truth before me. 1 appreci–
ate your leadership.

Your article on "Emotional Matu–
rity" was truly an inspiration tome, as it
brought out the truth on severa! issues
regarding my personal emotions.
r
fall
into your second group of extrernists
who control their emotions with their
rninds to the extent that al! emotions are
nonexistent. That entire paragraph Jet
me look into a rnirror that reftected my
real emotional self for the first time.
I
believe, however. that instead of
dying in infancy, rny ernotions were put
on hold. And it is your writings that
The PLAIN TRUTH

have enabled me to begin to reconnect
the circuits.
1
truly enjoy your writings
and look forward to future issues. as I
can finally see sorne light shining on my
doubts and frustrations.

An article in your July issue , " Painting
Africa Red" by Mr. Gene H. Hogberg,
is one of the rnost brilliant articles that
it has been rny good fortune to read.
Not only does he tell the truth as it is,
but rnakes no effort to hold back and
lssues a warning to the entire world as
to what we have to look forward to. lf it
isn ' t already too late,
1
hope the rest of
the world sees the picture Mr. Hogberg
painted and will awake and do sorne–
thing.
1
want to cornpliment you on
allowing such articles. and
1
hope there
will be sorne way of putti ng this infor–
rnation in a parnphlet and sending
copies to the Presiden! and every rnem–
ber of Congress.

All your recent articles on Africa con–
centrate on the political and econornic
issues while convenient ly ignoring the
human tragedy behind them. In a tone
of mindless rage you condemn the Rus–
sian irnperialisrn in Africa , but at the
same time you advocate rneasures that
will change the African situation to suit
the econornic and political advantage of
Arnerica. Black mi litancy in Africa
seerns odious to you, but you tend to
view. the institutionalized, centuries-old
white racisrn in Africa as sornething that
E
R
S
is somehow less offensive and more tol–
erable . You cleverly point out the in–
humanity of the black-controlled
African governments, but you are
shamelessly silent on the gross and vul–
gar repudiation of all traces of human
dignity in Rhodesia and South Africa.
True, the black-controlled African
governments are far frorn being perfect,
but so are the white-controlled govern–
rnents in Africa. Instead of taking posi–
tions on political issues, why don't you
try to be a little more objective? After
al!. not all of your readers are rniddle–
class, conservative white Americans.
1
don't understand why you serve as a
mouthpiece for provincial , conservative
and nationalist ic political views .
J
would like to see
The Plain Truth
be–
come truly humanitarian and inter–
national in its outlook.

The author replies: Recent articles on
events in Africa hove been intended sote/y
to keep readers informed ofprophetically
important trends such as the decline of
American power and wi/1 and the grow–
ing cha/lenge of Soviel Russia. The arli–
cles of necessily stress the polilica/ and
economic issues al stake on the troub/ed
African continent.
The Plain Truth
does
not "advocate" (even though
it
might
explain) any particular course of action
token by any governmenl in Africa or
anywhere else in this world.

Thank you for sending the J une / J uly
issue of
The Plain Trulh
magazme.
Your article "What Do You Mean
. .. Salvation?" has been the only thing
to change my life since rny divorce and
rernarriage of fourteen years ago. I did
not realize a rnan of
57
years could be
forgiven his sins. After realizing this,
l
know
J
can live up to what is expected
of me for a better life for all of us in my
farni ly. The enclosed check should help
sorneone receive this fine word.
