Herbert W Armstrong

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - I HAVE JUST RETURNED from a summer camp of teen-agers. You probably never saw a camp of teen-agers like this one! For this one was DIFFERENT! Today you read shocking news about juvenile delinquents in your newspapers - see on your television screens freakish-looking long-haired, tight-pants male (?) "hippies"; and stringy-haired, miniskirted female ones, rebelling against society, authority, and the "establishment" in general, participating in "love-ins." And, during the two weeks preceding the weekend I spent at this teenage camp in northern Minnesota, the United States had been shaken by Negro riots - primarily staged by teen-agers - in cities all over the United States. Millions upon millions of dollars' worth of property had been destroyed by incendiary "Molotov cocktail" bombs and fires; there had been wholesale looting, guerrilla warfare, Negro snipers with rifles shooting people from housetops, upper windows, dark alleys. America had seen ANARCHY! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
