As I have continued to ask in the past, I do so lic it your prayersthat God will co ntinually intervene in his life , espe cia lly to givehim the physical strength that he need s so that he can becomeeve n more active .

people happily married! It is also good.. . edition after editio n to see [that] thenew brides [do ] not mind being calledsimply " Mrs. ' John Doe.' "

Very often I am quite frankly annoyedthai women, once they marry, seem as (if)they have no name of tbeir own at all . Thisis especi ally true under pictures. Evenwives of our top officials become " andhis wife" or "the ir wives" or " Mrs.. .." Seldo m if ever is the wife' s namementioned in captions. An example is thepicture of lhe Hoehs and Merediths onpage I , Vol. VI, No . I . Jan. 2, 1978.Maybe for the sake of brevity. " Isabell"(Hoeh) and " Shyrel" (Meredith) wereleft out . but 1like it when the women arestill left with a name of their own.

Would it be possible, if only in theweddings column, to list the couple as" Ed and Sheila Graham, " or " Linda andFrank Pearcy ," if she happens to be onthe left-band side of tbe picture? In many

. names it takes less space than " Mr. andMrs. John Doe."

I feel somewhat relieved , being able toexpress my feelings about women havinga name.

Se~dor pen pa l!!;Most of the pen pais in the " Personals"

are from the v~ry young. After reading thelast issue of WN I was think ing how verynice it would be if there was a separatecolumn tilled " Mature Pen Pals" wherepeople (brethren) 55 years old and olderco uld find so lace in co mmunicat ingthrough the mail with one another. Thereare so many lonely o lder brethren. andthey are shy about adverti sing for penpals. A column that would be specifically" theirs" would help, I'm sure.

She reallysurprised us when, out or-the " blue, " ormost likely because she' s he ard it before ,she paused quickly, closed her eyes andsaid very quickly. " Dear God, bless aUthe children in YES."

Hope: every church area is using thismarvelous too l to unify God's people. Wehave so many religious subjects to dis­cuss. and it has givenml a boost andex tramotivation for my personal Bible study.After being in the Church 12 years, Ireally feel renewed in study and in suchprofitable contact with the children.

One reason for wanting to see dif­ferent places and their peoples is toperceive the news from other pointsof view. " The basic slant of the newsin the United States is left of cen ter.liberal left of center," he observes." But almost all of this news, whetherright. left or center , is still from anAmerican point of view, And onsome of the-e controversial issues,such as the projected U.S .-trooppullout from South Korea. you haveto get out and talk to !he people in theothe r countries and see how they'reaffected by it."

Walter Cronkite ' s word for it. ad­vises News Bureau chief Gene Hog­berg. who think s too many people.includ ing Chur ch members. rely ontelevision news programs as theiro nly mean s of keeping in touch withwhat in the world is going on.

Mr. Hogberg , who is also newseditor of The Plain Truth and writes acolumn for The WorlJwitk News.recommends that a member of God'sChurch. or anyone with an intere st inthe shape of current event s, subscribeto a good week ly news magazine . ifhe can afford it, along with the bestavailable newspape r in his area,preferably one that has a broad na­tional and international outlook .

.. Even the top television anchor­men such as Dav id Brinkley willadmit that, if you're just dependingon litem to give you the importan tnews of the day and not backing that 'up wi th a goo d news pape r ormagazine . that' s not enough." saysthe 40-year-o ld graduate of Arnbas­sadorCollege, who has been with thebureau since 1958 .

Starting that year , while a jun ior incollege. Mr. Hogberg began volun­teering his time to gather newspaperand magazine clipp ings to back upthe radio broadcas ts 'being producedby Gamer Ted Armstrong .

Several people had been invited tohelp supply the material to Mr. Ann­strong. whose father at the time wasshifting more and more of the broad ­casting responsibilities to him. butsome "just' didn't come through with;,." Gene Hogberg, then 21. did .

Mr . Hogberg went on the payrollpan time as a student , but after hisgraduation his career, with what was1hen called Ihe News Galhering De­partment, was interrupted by his as­signment as a ' .second man" to aHeld minister .

1be minister was Burk McNair.who , Mr. Hogberg says. " had thegrueling Denver-Pueblo , Cc lo. .Garden City . Kan ., circu it, whichranged up into Wyoming and Ne­brash . I worked there for aboutfive months. then I came back. Thefield ministry was not my calling . butI've always considered it profitableto have experie nced what the oftenhectic life of a minister is like."

Not an accident

Savannah, a cradle of southernhospitality, is considered America ' sfirst planned city. After establi shingthe colony of Georgia and naming itfor King George II , Gen . JamesOglethorpe founded Savannah in1733 only 10 miles from the seaalong the Savannah River.

By July. 1733, sett lers were as­signed town, garden and farm lots.Two ranks of five side-by-side lots(60 by 90 feet) made up a tithing. andtwo pain of tithings faced each otheracross each 270·by·315-foo t square.Forty town lots made up each ward.Patterns for Savannah's inner citywere set by the original four wardslaid OUI by Gen . Oglethorpe .

Today the pattern is still extant:giving each neighborhood the feelingof a small town with its own land­scaped park in the center . City plan ­ners from around the nation visit thecity to glean ideas from the past onplanning and redevelopment .

Herbert W . Arms trong . Theletter in its en tirel y follo ws .

Dear Mr . Arm strong :As my fami ly and I join many

thousands o f brethren in praying foryour co ntinued impro...eme nt - andrejo icin g with those same tho usandsat the encouraging report s issued byGamer Ted Arm strong - we neces ­sari ly found ourselves reviewing ourlives since that time . a number ofyears ago. when we first came inco ntact with yo u and thi s Work .

The first sounds of Th~ Wor ld To­morrow emanated from my car rad ioin late 1959 , but for me first seve rallimes I heard only An Gilm ore ' sclosing com me nts. I was not in­terested in any world tomorrow, forthe wo rld today was my main co n­cern , and fighting for surv ival for myfamily of seven had me too mes­merized to worry about invol vementin the seeming fant asies of a nebu­IOU5. ethereal world tomorrow.

We had only been in SouthernCalifornia for a few month s , havin gleft the East for a new stan in life . Atage 30 my acco mplishme nts couldhave been easil y insc ribed on thehead of a pin, and me prospect s for amore product ive , sa t is fy ing ,family-edifying furore didn 't seemmuch more available here .

Apoplectic drain

On one particul ar morning, havingbegun my morning trek a few min ­Utes earlier, I did hear T~ WorldTomo"ow. or at least enough of it tobristle the hairs on me nape of myneck and cause such a blood drainfrom my temple s as to be almo st apo­plect ic.

" Yo u are fill ed with jealo usy,vanity , lus t and greed !" stated thepos itive , authoritat ive voice of thespea ker . But thi s time I had thepleasure of meeting, at least via theairwaves , Mr. Herbert W . Arm­strong, and I had extreme ly mixedemot ions abo ut that meet ing.

" 00 you th ink God" - a nonen­tily in our lives at th is poin t - " hasgone way off somewhere , Iike an ab­sentminded professor emeritus , andforgotten about His creation?" con ­tinued the words of the speaker .

My pulse began to quicken . Myears wanted to rebel again st - notthe wo rds - but the authority bywhich the y were presented.

In my world , the world of 1959,positive authority had become virtu­all y passe . And you , Mr. Arm strong,were not pleading, implorin g, be­seech ing , whin ing, cajo ling! Youwere not aski ng me to give my heanto the Lord , but , rather, were tellingme something real.

" Why don 't you qu it listening tothe paid profes sionals and stan prov­ing a few things to yourself? Wh ydon 't yo u blow the dust off yourBible , and fmd out why you wereborn , where you are going ..." Andthe voice became lost in a swirl ofalm ost flesh -tin gl ing excitement ,and I didn 't quite know ~hy .

Religion unimportant

Rel igion had not played even aminor role in our lives . After squirm­ing th rou gh a co upl e yea rs o fcute little Bible stories at Sundayschoo l - and co mparing the "Chris­tian te achin gs " wi th the pl ain .hard. co ld hyp ocrisy o f every­day life - it was not difficult todisre gard the hollow mouthin gs oftho se " paid profes~ionals" and to t­

and desire s .We borrowed a Bible . and mar ­

veled at the plai n. simple word s . andsat incredulouslv ur the reali zationthat those "mainstays" of orga nizedreligios ity were not eve n in the Bookwh ich they profe ssed to fo llow .

We stud ied . and as that right wayof life flood ed into ou r minds webec ame aware of the inco nsistenciesof ou r soc ie ty - rel igi ou sl y ,economicall y, socially and morally .The word s of the apo stle Paul be­came o ur guide . " Prove all thin gs;hold fast that which is good . . .

Read , study , prove! Put to the test ,by appl ying new teach ing into ourlives . See the result s!

Our reque sts for free literaturewere met with immediate response aso ur mailbox literally bulged withmag azines; booklet s and Correspon ­

By BUI StoughST . CLAIR, Mo . - Jason Cook is

Hi s subseque nthealin g - which his parents andfriend s belie ve was miracul ou s ­and related events left his doctor.other hospital personnel and friend sbaffled .

It was a sad day for Jason' s par­ents , Jim and De lore s Coo k, whe nthey had to go home during the Feas t.Jason had become seriously ill , theircabin had no heat, and what hadsta rte d out as a co ld wa s nowpneumonia . His cough ing was wors­ening, a fluid was forming in hi slungs , and he needed attention 24ho urs a day .

Medicaltesls

Once back home here , the Coo ksimmediately took Jason to a doctor ,who took X rays that clearly sho wedfluid in his left lun g. Another sur­prise : Jason had app are ntly recentlybrok en his left collarbone .

J im and Delore s speculated thatth e bre ak , whi ch had go ne un ­noticed . may have also occ urred atthe Feast when Jason fell out of bedone night. But he hadn ' t show n anys ign of com pla ining abo ut h issho ulder .

Jason ' s doctor, Clint on Hayes o fUnion, Mo ., seven miles from here,prescribed treatment that could beadministered at home for the timebeing.

How ever , the pneumon ia go tworse.

Dr. Hayes check ed Jason everyfew days. About two weeks after hecame home from the Feast , X raysshowed the pneum oni a in both lungs.Th e broken co lla rbo ne st ill a lsosho wed cle ar ly .

The doctor no w recommendedJason immediately enter a hospital ,because home treatm ent s would notbe enough . Delore s , howe ver , wasconcerned that Jason could choke todeath in the loc al hospital. Therewo uld prob ably be times when hewould be left alon e .

To go to 3, hospital with a largerstaff in St. Loui s, o n the other hand ,would mean either Jim or Deloreswould not be able to be with their sonregularly because of the di stance .

Del ores , hold ing the cou ghin gchild in her arms. continued si lentlyto ask God fo r he lp . Then an unu sualthin g happened .

Areas fade

bers were " with us, all under thewatchful eye of Ugandan securi tyguards , some of whom were in plainclothes and scattered among the pas­sengers .

The hours went by and the tensionand mystery became greater .

At one point one of the passe ngersattracted the attention of the person Ihad been seated with . In hushedwhispers he explained be was an Is­raeli cit izen. With sweat runni ngdown his brow and with trembl inghands , he gave us his name and iden­tification details , beggin g us to mak eimme diate contact with the nearestIsraeli representation sho uld he bedetained by the Ugandan authori ties.

Eventually , afte r al mos t fou rhours , we were told we were beingreleased and that we cou ld boardtheaircraft after a passport check . TheIsraeli winced .

Now came the grea test moment oftension for us as the Israeli carnenearer and nearer 10 the checkpo int(manned by five Ugandans and hawk ­ishly watched over by two Arabs).Hewas getting closer . II began to lookas if he might be look ing for anopportunity 10 rush the chec kpoint.

That seemed not only impossi blebut suicidal , co nside ring tbe amo untof weaponry around .

He gOIcloser and closer and - inan instant of time , as the eyes of thecheckers were drawn to a particularpassport .....:. went ' right throu gh themiddle of them in the shadow of thewoman in front. We could not be­lieve our eyes .

With a great deal of relief and afternot a few prayers, we settled backinto our seats as the engines roaredinto life and we left Entebbe and itstwinkling lights behind .

No radio contact

But the story wasn 't quite over . InNairob i, our destination, there hadbeen tension too . 1be estimated timeof our arrival had come and gonewith nothing baving been heardfromthe plane. All efforts 10contact thejethad failed . LdsaJr:a had confumedthai il had left on time and with onlyenough fuel 10 make Nairobi. Theyadded thal the last they had heardwasthai the planewas having diffiCUlties:and radio contact had been lost .

. The airport authorities were busycbecking with all the airports on theroute for possible news .

You can imagine how my wifefell, especially after a member of thediplomatic corps hadcome around COtake down names of relatives of pas­sengers on the flight . In his zeal hehad virtuall y made the funeral ar­rangements for the unfortunate vic­tims of the supposed disaster .

So for us it was with a great deal ofrelief , a little more appreciation ofdeliverance and a supply of sermonmaterial that Kenya Airwa ys flight132 came to its end.

That holds true for allof you breth ­ren in your own pri vate lives as well !Satan is the accuser of the brethrenand is conti nually attempting to in­fluence people to lose their first love ,to allow a roo t of'bitte rness to grow intheir heart s, to ad mit sus picion ,greed, resentment and hatred intotheir hearts and thus poison the pres­ence o f God ' s Holy Spirit, driv ing.the very mind of Jesus Christ out o ftheir human minds until they becomeonce again craven, carnal, cowardl y ,biner and filled with the avarice andhatred of the devil himself!

Onehundr ed twenty-seven passengers,toge ther with crew , scrambled out ofthe jet and were herded in the dark ­ness to the te rmin al build ing .

Man y tho ugh ts raced thro ug hman y minds. Wh y had we been

Enonnous amountto accomplish

Man y ye ars ago I gave mylife completely to the Eternal to useas He willed . I finnly believe that Hewill preserve and protect that life foras long as He wishe s to use it . But, ofco urse , when He is through using mylife it is of no further value to mewhatsoever anyhow ! I do not knowhow much more He wants us to ac­co mplish during this age , but myown feeling is there is an enormousamount o f Work yet to be accom­plished before we can feel that thegreat commission is even remotelyco mplete ! That holds true for myfather and his activities as well as myown responsibilities in radio , telev i­sion and the printed media !

So we will certainly appreciateyour prayers on the behalfofall of usat headquarters , my father over inTuc son . for all the ministers and foreach other! We must be a prayingChurch, drawing close to God daily.

First Jetter bomb

Incidentall y, I was co ntacted byour Sec urity Department a few weeksago which informed me tha t Mr.Richard Rice or membe rs of his de­part ment had inte rcepte d asuspicious- looking en velope whichappeared to contain a possible "letterbomb ." Of course the men in thatdepartment had been thoroughly in­doctrinated through films and lec­ture s on such matters , so the en­ve lo pe , with its r idge down thecenter, unusual thickne ss and rigid ­ity, was quickly spotted.

The Pasadena police departmentsent its bomb experts , and the letterwas taken to a vacant parking lot nearthe Rose Bowl where it was deto ­nated by explo sives used by thepolice bomb squad .

It was discovered that the letter didindeed contain some of the ingre ­dients nece ssary for a letter bomb ,but it was believed the only explosionwas from the explosive device usedby the police department and that theletter itself did not explode. If wasco mplete ly disintegrated and so verydifficult to determ ine what all of theexact ingredients may have been .

When I co mbined this event, how ­ever , with a number of other threa tsthat we have received recen tly, in­cludin g threats on my life from thosewho have called or written threaten ­ing leners to my home and weird,strange- loo king people showing upat my door all hours of the day andnight and frightening my wife, then Irealize more than ever the need forcautio n and espec ially God ' s protec­tion .

I was told durin g the Feast ofTabernacles at Lake of the Ozar ks,for example, that there was a manlooki ng for me with a loaded gun inthe front sea t o f his car . He had actu­ally shown the gun to someon e elseand boasted that he was going to tryto take my life !

With Ihis in mind , of cou rse , I amalways very care fu l regardin g secu­rity aro und airpo rts and other areaswhe re I may be tra velin g , but Ithought I would mention this fro m apersonal point of view and solicityour prayers for God ' s continued in­tervention.

SeattleAICF tiesold, young

By Joel Ge'ntmannSEATILE. Wash . - The prob­

lem: how to go about setting up a newfounda tion in a city with 99 c tber "foundations , many of which had badreputat ions with local citizen s, whenyo ur foundation is virtually un­known.

Tbe solutio n: very carefully . stepby step.

Th is is the challenge facing theSeattle chapter of the AmbassadorInternational Cultural Foundat ion.

One of the first problem s was es­tablis hing a track record in the co m­munity as a whole by co nfrontingcity leaders with the concept that youwant to do something in the way ofgiving and helpin g, a snoc king con­cept city leaders can' t be expected tograsp ove rnight .

In getting the AICF chap ter off thegro und, it see ms the rig ht peopl ewith the right ideas have been in theright place at the right time . The Seat­tle chapt er , through praye r and ableleadership. has form ed a programca lled Expe rience in Action , whosegoal is to stimulate elderly citize ns toinvol ve themselves in giv ing of theirknowledge and e xperience to theyoung in the area .

TIle idea is simple and d irect . Firstthe foundation puts on a program insenior c itizens' homes , encoura gingthem to give of their latent talents .

Next , through chan ties and theschoo l board, schoo lch ild ren arechanneled to the o ldsters who canhelp them with thei r specific needs .

Third , a newsletter is begun , to becontributed to by the:elde rly. draw­ing on their ex perie nces . The pcbl i­cation is to be a bridge of the genera­tion gap .

Also. a Spokesman Club for thee lderly is developed to reinforcethese concepts.

Will the idea work ? It":o. at leastwell worth a try, orga nizers belie ve ,and co uld become a v ital tool todemonst ra te the since ri ty of theWo rk in ~ i" i ng In communities .

Ho w did Italy get into suc h a mess,with the Communist Party on thebrink' of pick ing up the marbles?

The pro b lem goes back to the early19605. Before then Italy had gener­ated its own economic miracle inWes tern Europe . Then a De mocrat icadmi nistratio n in the United Statespre ssured Italian con serv ati ves toembrace the socialists and their in­flat ionary programs . Thus Italy em­barked upon its notorious apertura asinist ra (opening to the left ).

Since then Italy has been living farbeyond its means, and its been down-

Finally identified

Eventually coll apsing co mplete ly ,he was transferre d to an intens ive­care unit in ano ther hospital . Here hiscond ition was at last correctly iden­tified .

Living on 128 pills a day , theonce-s trap ping 165-pound yo ungman had become an often -deli rious,weak 80 pounds , surv iving on regu­lar doses of morph ine .

For nine weeks his parents slept atthe hospital until at last some im­provement was noted in his condi ­lion . But by thi s time the bilharzi ahad ravaged his sys tem and he waspermanently paralyzed from the hip sdown .

Doctors told him he would neverwalk again , a revelation that threwhim into shock. followed by deepdepre ssion, shattered emotions and anervous breakdown.

" All I wanted was my legs back, "Mr . Erasmu s remembers from thosebitter days when he had lost all in­terest in living.

The bilharzia victim greeted theoospitaJ psych iatri st with hostili ty,rudeness . total rejection of any sug ­gestion that he begin thinking aboutusing ~ wheelchair.

But the psychiatrist persisted andone day issued the patient a stingingchallenge.

He toki him that without a wheel ­cha ir he had few alternatives . Hecould deteriorate from bedsore s,possibly ending up a suicide; or hecould be a man and make the best ofwhat had befallen him.

The challe nge fired Mr. Eras muswith a zealous determinat ion to over­co me his disability . He resolved todo anything in a wheelcha ir he cou ldpreviou sly do with his legs and ca meup with a three-poi nt reo rientationprogram that became the basis of hisrecovery:

Doctors at first inco rrectly diag­nosed his exce ssive fatigue , sporadicbut severe head aches, high temper a­tures and chills as tick-bite fever , andlater malaria. The ir correspo nding lyinco rrect treatment was ineffective .

In December, 1961, en route to aholiday in the Transvaal bush veld ,Mr. Erasmus, then 23 , and a frienddecided to cool off in the murky Oli­fants River - with disastrous results .Unkn owingly , Mr. Erasmus con ­trac te d a widespread Afric anscourge, bilharzia , also called schis­tosomiasis, while swi mming .

Found in many Sou th African riv­ers and da ms, bilharzia is carried bysnails and enters the skin via tinyflukes . Every yea r man )' South Afri -

Suppo se members of a family areaccepted for immi gra tion or haveright of return because of nationality .They must then find the thousand s ofdolJars to pay their fare s and re­mo val expenses. When it leaves ,each family is allowed only 1,tXX>Rhode sian dollars to start a new life .That is very h~ for a family man,especially if he has spent the bestyears of his life gouging out a farmfrom bush , finally beginn ing to enjoythe fruits of his labor and sacrifices.

Also, he needs to think about thepeople other than his family who de­pend on him for a living . Each la­borer working on a fann has his wifeand children living with him on theland , and they are fed and housed bythe farmer. So the fanner is provid ­ing accommodat ion and food forscores or even hundreds of people . Ifhe abandon s his fann (there are fewo r no buyers these days), he willleave many destitute .

Leav ing this beautifu l co untry is alot eas ier said than done . And whoknows when a man' s new home willbe just as dangerous as his old one?Most are prepared to stick it out untiladvised to go by the Church , or untillife becomes intolerable for Chris­tians.

Possi bly the combination offoodscaused the phen omeno n that occ urredafter the meal - nearl y everyone de·veloped restless feet and began aim­lessly pacin, the Ooor.

A il'oup named Rosewood decidedthey had a cure for this malady, whichthey called melody . Chuc k Lombardoset the tempo with his drum s, WesHomner played country tunes on hisguitar and Roger Andrusk y and TomMarino joined in on stee l and bassguitar s. A talented vocalist , DonnieClark . rounded out the group, whichquickly put some purpose beh ind allthat motion .

The musicians needed a rest beforethe dance~ . So Pa Grenter greasedhis elbow and tuned his fKklle and ,along with Ma Grenter and Jim Guyplaying guitars , turned out some lightand lively square·dance tunes and aVirginia reel. The caller was pastorGene Noel. who expended as muchefto l1 and energy clicking his tongueas the dancer..did clacking their heels .CtJth)' C um mings

' 'The mostama'z.ingthing to me istha t the human organism ha s noevo lutionary experience with acce l­eration. How could you expect it tohave defense mechanisms? But itdoes. The doctors couldn't tell uswhat to do to adapt ourse lves to highacce leration; it came naturally . Andthat's amazing to me."

In 1965 Mr . Carpenter took a leaveof absence f rom the NationalAeronautics and Space Administra­tion to participate in the Navy's Sea­lab Il program off the coast of LaJolla, Calif. Later, because he couldno longer fly due to a broken ann andbecause he "felt the Sealab III pro­gram was important, " he left thespace program to cont inue his oceanresearch .

Defending tec hnolog ica l ad­vances , he said that he deplored ' ' thelack of vigor with which we exploreour successes" and described suchactions as cance llatio n of the Ameri­can supersonic transport as "acrime. "

" Where technology is concernedwe will alway s have a great man ynaysayers ," he said. He later sa id thatwe sho uld not abandon scientific pur­suits j ust because the y produ ce a prob ­lem . " Let us. press on for answers tothese problems," he countered.

He said his wife was particu lar lyunnerved by the whole affai r andtheir three sons and a daug hter , ages2 to 9 , were bothered.

" I de libe rated a month before wedecided to sell , " Mr. Beyersdorfersaid . ,. Since we reached our decisionmany of the brethren have expresse drelief. "

The property sold for slightly morethan the $37, 000 the Bey er sdorfer spaid for it . hr.t Mr. Be yer sdorfer saidhe had put about $2,O<XJ and " hun­dreds of hours" o f labor into im­provement s .
