Plain Truth- Depressing or Stimu–
lating?
"I was spellbound and I could hardly
believe that in tl1is day and age there is
such a magazine that writes such articles!
1
could not put the magazine down until
1
had read every article and
1
am still mull–
ing the ideas around in my mind.
I
felt
renewed and refreshed when
I
had finished
reading it. Our newspapers and other
magazines bave sucb a mish-mash of oews
and reports that it is no wondcr a pcrson
becomes confused."
Mrs. Douglas A.
M.,
Webster, New York
"I have received only two copies of your
magazine and my whole attitudc tOwards
life is cbanging."
Curt S.,
Bloomington, Minnesota
"The
PLAIN TRUTH is a mind-awaken–
ing magazine but cuts very deep. lt's very
bard to see so much that
is
very wrong.
1
wonder if it would be possible to be a little
more consuuctive
in
your approach to all
mese hard-core problems we face.
lt
takes
me a week tO get over the depression of
reading
Tbe
PLAIN TRUTH. I guess \.vbat
I'm saying is 'There's a lot rigbt witb the
world,' and that's the trum too! Lots of
people doing wonderful things and trying
very hard tO do consuuctive, helpful, pro–
ductive, loving and fine tllings. Maybe we
could hear a little about these people and
efforts.' '
Mrs. josepb S.,
Hawley, Pennsylvania
Classroom Dilemma
"1
received tbe first copy of
The
PLAIN
TRUTH and enjoyed it very much. Of
particular interest to me was the Personal
column by Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong. As
a teacher since 1954, 1 h;tve been in close
contact with the young pcople of various
pans of o ur coumry.
ln
the classroom
1
have seen the result of the breakdown in
family morals reflected in our children.
There has been a loss to our children of
direction, of goals outside of self. The lack
of respect for memselves and others."
Ernest D., Jr.,

Five Ways To Save Marriage
"Your article 'Five Ways to Save Your
Marriage' (Feb. 1971) is indeed inspiration
of hope
to
many of us who are floundering
- waiting for that last suaw
to
fall.' '
Mes.
K.
J.
M.,
La Mesa, California
"'Five Ways to Save Your Marriage' was
a very good anide. Even mougb I know
many things that
1
am doing wrong,
J
still
like to be told my faults, as your articles
do, because
this
somehow gives me new
drive and purpose and determination to
uy
and change my ways. W e need more and
more articles that really sock it to us !"
Mrs. Sidney F.,
Santa Cruz, California
READERS SAY
"Dear God - Why did you Jet
Tommy die?"
"1
want to tell you how much
I
espedally
enjoyed 'Dear God, Wby did you let
Tommy die?' Believe it or not,
1
an1
24
years old, and bave asked that same ques–
tion at least a million times. And could
never come up witb an answer until
I
read
the plain, simple truili."
Mrs. Robert
H.,
Cincinnati, Obio
" I
have just finisbed reading the anide
in the January issue of your magazine
'Dear God, Why did you let Tommy die?'
and
I
cou ldn't resist writing
to
you. This
had ro be the best artide
I
have ever read.
"All of my Jife
1
have always wondered
how God could allow such things as war
and death. But now, your artide has made
it clear
to
me."
Elizabeth W.,
Beverly, Massachusetts
Double Standard
"The onc article tbat impressed me the
010st was 'Drop Your Double Standard.'
1
enjoy any information on problems of
teen-agers, especially drugs. At school we
often have discussions on true incidems
that happened ro people on drugs. But
your article was far different than anything
I have ever discussed or read about. lt coro–
pared teen-agers with parents. It really was
the most interesting artide that
1
have ever
read in my entire life. Well I hope that
you'll print this, because
1
really enjoyed
your article.' '

"To Kili a People"
"I was not surprised when I walked into
my junior Englisb dass here at Centralia
High and heard my teacher repcating,
almost word for word, some things Mr.
Garner Ted
Armstron~
wrote about in bis
fa11tastic
anide 'To Kili a People' !"
Maryanne P.,
Centralia, Illinois
"1
enjoyed the writing of Garner Ted
Armstrong's 'To Kili a People.' So well
written, and bitterly truthful of a wonder–
ful country, where tl1e people won't take
time to even look at themselves, let alone
admit something is wrong."
Clarence M.,
Fallon, Nevada
Thinks We Make Up letters
"Piease print sorne of this letter in the
'What Our Readers Say' column, and print
my full name and address for the benefit of
my husband. He would believe then what
he secs with his own eyes. He was listen–
ing
to
a broadcast the orher day and said,
'He's right about that/ but he thinks you
make up all the letters from readers d1at
are printed." Audrey (Mrs. Billy) Lee
