WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD

LESLIE McCULLOUGH TO CINCINNATI
Leslie McCullough is transferring back to the United States from
Canada, after the Feast of Tabernacles.
He will continue his speaking schedule to Canadian Festival sites
during the Feast, and then become Senior Pastor in Cincinnati, pastoring
Cincinnati's largest of four churches--the Cincinnati East Church.
Mr. McCullough has expressed pleasure in coming back to the United
States, but has greatly enjoyed his ministry in Canada. The Work in
Canada has made good growth during his stay there. The Canadian churches,
along with all God's Churches, are back on God's track and being prepared
to become with the rest of us the Bride of Christ, prepared for His com­
ing.
Mr. Robert Fahey had been appointed director of the churches in
Australia, but will return to Vancouver as director of the English­
speaking churches in Canada.
Mr. Bob Morton is being transferred from New Zealand to direct the
Australian churches.
Peter G. Nathan, a native New Zealander now stationed in England,
will replace Mr. Bob Morton in New Zealand.

Problems With the Old System
in Y.O.U.
by Herbert W. Armstrong
1. District, Regional, Tri-regional and National competition pro­
duced a spiraling rise in competition that caused some youngsters,
parents, coaches and even a few ministers, to want to advance to the
next level so badly that they would put winning above setting a right
example. A spirit of "GET" and hostility above "GIVE" and love toward
the other equal to self-love was introduced.
2. Winning became the main thing in these people's minds to the
point that some (both players and spectators) were setting wrong examples
at games, yelling at referees, shouting at their calls, angrily showing
very wrong attitudes both on and off the court. When competition goes
beyond "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," it is hostile--OF SATAN!
3. These wrong attitudes were becoming a problem to those who
really wanted to play the way God would have us play.
