Multiple Copies of Our Literature Often Requested

The PLAIN TRUTH magazine and many of our other publications are frequently requested in bulk by individuals as well as public and private organizations. Requests have come from libraries, law enforcement agencies, public health service organizations, and veterans' groups, just to name a few. In addition to The PLAIN TRUTH and the YOUTH magazine, the most frequently requested publications are CRIME CAN BE STOPPED — HERE'S HOW, THE SILENT EPIDEMIC, and THE BOOK OF REVELATION — UNVEILED AT LAST!

While our policy is not to send literature to people who may want to distribute it indiscriminately, we do fulfill reasonable requests for multiple copies from respectable organizations. The following are a few examples:

We have been advised that your college prints a booklet entitled CRIME CAN BE STOPPED — HERE'S HOW! From all reports, it sounds like a publication we would like to distribute to our clients. If possible, we would like 25 copies for trial distribution at your earliest possible convenience. It is our understanding that there is no charge for the booklets. If so, it is a generous gesture on your part.

In the event that the booklets are well received, it is possible that we would like more for an upcoming event soon to be held in Champaign, Illinois [by our security services organization]. It is a show whose theme will be, "Crime, What Can You Do?" It would seem that your booklet would be an appropriate handout for such an event.

I received my first copy of The PLAIN TRUTH and was very impressed with the contents. I will be looking forward to the next issue. I am retired, and very active in Alcohol and Drug Abuse, a preventive program for the youth of Illinois. I work with the Veterans of Foreign Wars, but also am very active locally in various organizations.

On page 37, your introductory issue showed copies of your publications, including "Alcohol and Drugs." Would you possibly have any back issues on this subject? I could use a quantity of any articles, books, or information sheets you might have on alcohol and drug abuse that I could use in the schools. I talk and show films to all grades from kindergarten through high school.

We received the shipment of your booklets THE SILENT EPIDEMIC. They are very useful in our clinic.

I would very much like to take 25 copies of your June issue of The PLAIN TRUTH for distribution to my relatives in India. The article "Inside the New India," by Keith W. Stump, is one of the best, rare complimentary articles on India I have seen in an American journal in many years. It is well written, factual and devoid of a jaundiced stereotyped view that many ivory-towered Western journalists normally entertain about India. Thank you kindly for your prompt attention and generosity.

You recently sent me a copy of your YOUTH magazine to look over. I was impressed. It could be a real asset to our campus. I would like to use it in one of our religion classes, and place several copies in the library and possibly in the dorms. Please send us 30 copies to my attention at the above address. Thank you very much.

Parents and Youth Praise SEP

We have received numerous comments from both parents and young people who recognize the immense value of the Summer Educational Program. Parents are pleased to see the positive growth in their teenagers and the stronger interest they are showing in God's Church. Several young people mentioned that they had gained many new friendships and were very thankful for the instruction they received at camp. Many commented that the SEP experience helped them put their lives on the right track. Following are some of their letters:

I was a camper at SEP for the first session this summer. Mr. Armstrong, SEP is absolutely fantastic! I am learning how to put the positive attitude, enthusiasm and courage we learned at camp to work in my daily life. SEP really strengthened my mind and helped me grow closer to God. I also made so many special friends there — I felt like I was a part of one big family at SEP. Camp really helped me set my life on the right track and I will always remember the fun, joy and peace I experienced. Thank you, Mr. Armstrong, for SEP. It has been a great blessing for all us campers.

I have recently returned from the first session of SEP in Orr, Minnesota, and I would like to thank you very much for the opportunity to go to camp.... My tuition was paid by others, and I am very grateful for that. Since I study at home by correspondence course, I was able to attend the first session, before the Canadian school year was over.

I would like to thank you, Mr. Armstrong, for coming to visit us at Orr. I am going to do my best to follow the advice you gave when you spoke to us. You set a wonderful example for us to follow as YOU members, and I really appreciate that.

I have learned a lot from SEP, and I really enjoyed this experience as well. It has given me quite a bit to think about. As I study at home, I don't have many opportunities to spend time with kids my own age, but camp has given me many opportunities to do this.

My son, upon arrival back home from SEP at Orr, was greatly impressed with Mr. Armstrong. He can see that we truly do need to pray daily that God will grant Mr. Armstrong physical and spiritual strength. I truly thank him for putting forth the effort to visit the sessions. He made a lasting impression on our son.

Our daughter just got home from SEP in Big Sandy. She really enjoyed it and it helped her out a lot. She made so many friends, and has heard from some of them already. She is looking forward to the Feast because a lot of the teens she met are going to the same site.

The attitudes are so good at SEP and we are so glad because the teenagers are a very good example to others when they get back home. We wish all the teens could attend SEP. We've had four children go to SEP in 13 years and it helps out so much. We are so glad to be a part of God's Church and know His truth.
