IN BRIEF: MIDEAST TREATY: PEACE OR EMPTY PROMISES? - Stanley R Rader - February 1979

PASADENA, December 25, 1978: Just one week ago I was visiting with Arab friends in Bethlehem, Judea. Today, I read the headlines of my morning paper and they cry out: "Iranian Riots Extend Year of Holy War"; "Negotiations Shaky as Vance Returns Home"; "Christmas Eve Finds Hope and Fear Around the World." Yet other headlines proclaim: "Christmas Glows with the Spirit of Love"; "Pilgrims Flock to Christ's Birthplace"; "President Carter Thankful." But unfortunately this day once again portends for mankind more fear than hope, more sadness than jubilation. Why must this be so? Why can we find no solution to the problems that have plagued mankind for the past 6,000 years? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
