INTRODUCTION TO MR. ARMSTRONG'S LATEST LETTER
(Editor's Note: Mr. Herbert Armstrong requested that the first two para
graphs of his latest letter to members and Co-Workers dated June 8, be re
produced in this Pastor's Report.)
Dear Brethren and
Co-Workers with Christ:
I'm in flight, just out of Bangor, Maine, where we cleared immigra
tion and customs. We had a very successful trip to Morocco and Tunis in
north-western Africa. I had never been to either Morocco or Tunisia be
fore. At Tunis I not only met many VIPs, including ambassadors from other
countries, but many high in the government.
We met and picked up some of my "Japanese sons"--members of the
Japanese Diet--at Paris, had a visit with the Prime Minister at Rabat,
Morocco, and in Tunis. There was a large banquet in my honor at Tunis,
at a resort hotel on the Mediterranean shore. Congressman Yamashita,leader
of the Japanese party, and the Japanese Ambassador spoke briefly, with
interpreters, and I gave them the GOOD NEWS of the coming Kingdom of God,
as the world's ONLY--and SURE--HOPE!

FROM PASTORAL ADMINISTRATION
Dear Fe-
llow Ministers:
Greetings from HOT Pasadena!
Perhaps you have heard, but we are hav
ing record temperatures out here for this time of year--with 104
°
regis
tered in Pasadena yesterday, and it only got down to about 70
°
last night.
We are all fine here and things continue to go forward in unity and pro
ductivity.
Mr. Herbert Armstrong returned back to the U.S. Friday from his suc
cessful trip to Morroco and Tunisia. I talked to him on the phone last
night and he was in good spirits and had many plans for the future.
From all reports received, we had excellent Pentecost meetings around
the world. I was in Kansas City where we had a total of 1,267 people �nd
a fine offering.
I was able to conduct a 3� hour luncheon meeting with
the local ministers and their wives and was pleased with their warmth and
loyal respcnse. Upon returning, everyone here at Pasadena was very
enthusiastic at the fine sermons received over the Pentecost weekend and
the offerings here locally were very good. The total Pentecost offering
for the U.S. was up almost 11% over last year. And Frank Brown just called
from Britain and said the Pentecost offering for the British churches was
1:1 P 20% and the year-to-date income for all of Britain was up ·20% ! This
is really GREAT--and indicates that God may be preparing circumstances fc,
