NOVEMBER 27, 1981
United Kingdom On Saturday, November 14th, Mr. Herbert Armstrong spoke to
a combined audience of London-area Churches in the Kensington Town Hall.
Mr. Robert Fahey gave the sermonette explaining from the Bible what "back
on the track" means, after which Mr. Frank Brown presented Mr. Armstrong
with a beautifully bound and prepared volume containing the signatures of
members in the British Isles, Scandinavia and Black Africa.
Mr.
Armstrong's sermon was both uplifting and inspiring and explained the way
of life and the meaning and effect of God's Holy Spirit in our lives.
During his stay in London Mr. Armstrong also conducted a board meeting of
the Church and looked over potential new offices for use by the Church when
the move out of the Press occurs in 1982. Mr. Armstrong was also accom
panied by Mr. and Mrs. Gene Hogberg.
Sunday, November 1st, 1981 saw the restart of The WORLD TOMORROW broadcast
on Radio Luxembourg, after a lapse of 15 years. The superpower 1.3 million
watt station has a transmission range of hundreds of miles and can be heard
over a very large area of Europe.
A letter promoting the broadcast was inserted in the November/December
issue of The PLAIN TRUTH going to subscribers in Britain, Scandinavia, the
Continent and the Mideast, with an insert card scheduled to go into the
January edition.
In addition to these "internal" promotions, by the time you read this we
will have begun an advertising campaign in British (and later Scandinavian)
newspapers which will specifically advertise the broadcast.
Utilising a new advertisement recently supplied by headquarters, a new
PLAIN TRUTH advertising campaign has started in British, Scandinavian and
international media. The ad is being run in the DAILY EXPRESS (UK), SUNDAY
TELEGRAPH (UK), GUARDIAN (UK), INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE (UK, Continent,
Mideast), TIME (Atlantic), NEWSWEEK (Atlantic), SVENSKA DAGBLADET (Sweden),
BERLINSKE TIDENDE (Denmark), JYLLANDS POSTEN (Denmark), BELFAST TELEGRAPH
(Northern Ireland), SUNDAY INDEPENDENT {Eire) and SUNDAY PRESS (Eire).
Income in the UK is 151 up for October over last year, and is 201 up year
to-date.
Canada The Feast is over and everyone is back on the job. We are faced
with a considerable backlog of mail which piled up during the Feast and the
week following while the office staff worked on Feast offerings.
October's income finished at a +7.81, moving the year-to-date income down
to a +22.8%. This is still an excellent figure when one considers the ever
spiraling cost of living.
