Post-Feast Letdown?
Now that we' re all back home from the Feast of
Tabernacles and getting settled into our routines again, we must be on
guard to avoid what many call "post-Feast letdown." God's people must
now face the vast contrast between the vivid picture of God's world to

read and study these booklets along with "Mystery of the Ages," and
remind them of the value of regularly studying all the booklets as well
as the Correspondence Course.
Time is growing shorter every day. God has placed you in an important
responsibility.
Be sure you are not doing it alone. You need God!
Stay close to Him.
Thanks
Thank you for your enthusiastic response to the fast for
Mr. Armstrong's health. He appreciates deeply your continued support
and prayers on his behal f.
