much closer to you, and really yearn to take that burden you have and
help carry it. We all love you with a special love and surely our
Father must be very happy with you.
Karen Delafuente (Phoenix, AZ)
Your message on film was great. I was too concerned with material
pursuits. Since I have spent more time in prayer and study I really
feel spiritually high. I am also glad you told us that you had trouble
praying at times. It helps our prayers for you to be more effective.
(Being specific is better than praying in generalities.) We are all
behind you 100%, Mr. Armstrong.
Neil Parks (Buffalo, NY)
We just had the wonderful opportunity to see the film of Mr.
Armstrong. This was my first time to see him up close--he looks and
talks like a man of 50--I just can't express in words the impression
and importance Mr. Armstrong conveyed to me. The end is so close I
really realize how much more prayer I need to do!

SPECIAL LITERATURE SERVICE FOR PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS
Some ministers have mentioned that they would like for PM's who have re­
quested baptism to receive certain key booklets faster than what third
class postage will allow. We are most happy to honor such requests by
having their literature sent first class if you will have the PM's note in
their letter or card that they are counseling with a minister, and would
like to get their material right away. First class will knock off three
weeks (approximately) from our normal third class mailing.
An even faster means for prospective members to receive their literature is
to have them use our toll-free WATS number (800-423-4444). Ask them to
state that they were asked to call by you (the minister) to have their
literature sent first class. We will send it the same day we receive the
call.
We would like to ask that you exercise caution in how often you recommend
the use of first class lit requests so that the privilege is not abused. It
should be used only by PM's or for other unique exceptions. Thanks much!
