NEW WATS RECORD; “SWEETEN YOUR MARRIAGE” ARTICLE

Telecast Sets New Record on Labor Day Weekend — 20,445 Calls!
For the eighth time this year a new record has been set for weekend WATS calls. Mr. Armstrong's telecast on the Labor Day weekend brought in a record-breaking 20,445 calls. This new all-time high is 55 percent above the year-to-date average (13,150 calls). In the past, call volume during summer holiday weekends has been far below average.

Marriages Helped by “Good News” Article
The August “Good News” article by Earl E. Williams, “Sweeten Your Marriage With the Fruits of the Spirit,” brought a number of heartfelt thanks from readers. Some said the article helped turn around their ailing marriages. Even a few single people mentioned the article led them to set new goals in overcoming. Here are a few of these letters:

My husband read in the August "Good News” “Sweeten Your Marriage With the Fruits of the Spirit.” He is a changed person, willing to admit he was married to himself for 21 years. He now insists on living by the fruits of the Spirit with me, his wife. This article deserves a special award! So from the bottom of my heart to the top, a big THANK YOU!

I just received my August "Good News” and I didn't put it down until I had read every article. I'm so grateful to the Eternal for the nutritious spiritual food He provides for us from our spiritual “health food store" — Headquarters, Pasadena. When I glanced through the "Good News,” I saw the article, “Sweeten Your Marriage With the Fruits of the Spirit.” Since I'm no longer married, I said to myself, I don't need to waste time reading that, so I skipped it. But after finishing all the other articles, I decided to go back and read it. How glad I am for making that decision! The article is super, even though one is not married. I learned so much about the fruits of the Spirit.

I just finished "Sweeten Your Marriage With the Fruits of the Spirit," by Earl H. Williams. Thank you so much for this article. My marriage has been deteriorating to the point that my wife feels like she has no love for me. She says she wants to but doesn't know how. My prayers have been answered, and now it lies on my shoulders to correct the problem by showing real love with the fruits of the Spirit. Thank you, Mr. Armstrong, for the love you continue to show by giving us these articles through God's Work.

Please convey many thanks to Mr. Earl H. Williams for a fantastic article. I have read, highlighted, underlined and reread it. I'm trying to follow the guidelines as my husband isn't in the Church, and I need all the help I can get.
