What's WRONG With the YOUNGER GENERATION? - Herbert W Armstrong - June 1965

Herbert W Armstrong

Here's an article written by Herbert W. Armstrong for the first issue of The PLAIN TRUTH, seven years BEFORE the magazine existed. It was never published. It appears now, 38 years later, for the first time. Recently, among old files, Mrs. Armstrong ran across the manuscript of an article written for the very first issue of The PLAIN TRUTH. But it did not appear in that first issue. It has never been published until now! Almost immediately after my conversion, in the spring of 1927, the vision came to mind of a new kind of magazine I hoped would attain a very large circulation. For 16 years I had been in the advertising and magazine field. I was experienced in the writing of magazine articles - but in the field of business and merchandising - not in the religious category. The name that came to mind for the magazine was The PLAIN TRUTH. I had printers make up a 32-page "dummy" with glossy heavy cover - almost exactly the kind and size of paper you are holding in your hands right now. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
