We are delighted to announce that copies of Mr.
•Mystery of the Ages,• have been mailed to
ministers worldwide! Most of you should receive
you leave for the Feast of Tabernacles.
Armstrong's new book,
all English-speaking
your copy well before
It is important that you ministers take the time to read it before the
Feast.
You should be able to discuss it knowledgeably with the
brethren by the time they receive their copies at the various Festival
sites.
Your positive comments about it, and the fact that you have
already read it, will encourage the brethren to read it all the sooner
and with greater enthusiasm and interest.
(Mr. Armstrong has
instructed those of us here, and many of you during the Refreshing
Program, to read it once, then read it again! I'm sure he won't mind
if I pass along that instruction to all of you. As Mr. Armstrong said,
you need to read it again right away, because there is so much in the
book that you can't possibly get everything the first time through.>
On the subject of the Feast of
Tabernacles, all pastors
should
make a special point of encourag
ing everyone in their congregations
to attend the opening night service.
so often, it seems, many do not
make the extra effort to attend
the opening service, thinking it
isn't really all that important.
But those who miss this service
