Mr. Bourdin will continue to function as a Senior Pastor and, as he
judges he has time, will speak occasionally to the churches throughout
France.
Without the load of daily pastoral responsibilities, Mr.
Bourdin will be able to even more effectively serve the work in the
French language. As you may know, Mr. Bourdin was a professional
translator and linguist for over
25
years before corning into the Work.

WINTER WEATHER LOWERS MAIL A total of lSS
f
OOO letters plus 44,000
telephone registries were received during the month of January. These
are averaae levels. Member and co�worker mail is down at this point,
the severe winter weather in parts of the country being a factor.
However, Mr. Ted Armstrong's February co-worker letter has just been
mailed and should generate a better than usual response since two NEW
pieces of literature are being offered.
It has been some time since we shared some of the amusing requests
for literature we receive in MPC. Because many of you have expressed
interest in these humorous titles, here are a few which have come in.
(We share them, of course, purely in good fun -- with no intent to
ridicule or "put down" someone else's error):
Why Sex -- Soon Obsolete?
Sex -- Can We Survive?
Four Ghost Riders of the Apocalypse
The Awesome Literature
Our Awesome University
After Death Then Where?
What's New After Death?
Is There Hell In Fire?
To Hell With Fire
Just What The Hell Do You Mean Fire?
When Life Tumbles In

Y.O.U. CONFERENCE TAPES All pastors in the U.S. have been mailed
complete sets of tapes this year's Y.O.U. conference. We hope you
w� ll find them very helpful and that you . will use them in workin �
with your local
Y.o.u.
We also have available the tape of the Bible
Study given at the start of the conference. It was conducted by aim
Reyer. It would be an excellent tape to use in a local Y.O.U. Bible
study.
Once you have finished the tapes, please return them to the Y.O.U,
office. This also applies to tapes of last year's conference. We
have several thousand dollars invested in tapes and can refuse them.
Thanks very much.
--Mike Blackwell,
Y.o.u.

more years, until 1971, to reach $200 billion. Four years later saw
