As if to partly answer Mr . Arm­stro ng's quest ions, politi cal an alystWill iam Pfaff, writing from Par is( Los Ang eles, Cali f., Times, Aug .31. 1980) observed that " ,h, EastEuropeans will not permanently re­main satellite states of the SoeietUnion, th ough for the foreseeablefut ure the y will cdrt ainl Y·have tore ma in ,~x t remely prudent neigh­bors . . .

Speculating on Eastern Europe' sfuture orientat ion, Mr . Pfaff con­ti nued : " T he c urre nt subo rd inationof the Eas t Euro pea n societ ies toSoviet economic and socia l norm s,as well as to Soviet political dicta­t ion . .. has been the source of re ­peated internat ional cris es of the

But patience means more thankindl y tole ratin g difficult people.Both in d ictio nary defin it ion andbibli cal usage, th e word also denot esa chee rfully resigned acce pta nce ofsituations. Thi s kind of pat ience isespec ially importa nt to people whoar e c hro nically ill, crippled or other­wise physically handicapped .

Another form of patience is en­durance . " T hat ye be not slothful.but follower s of th em who throughfaith and pati enc e inher it the prom­ises ... And so, after he hadpatienl­I}' endured, he [Abrah am } obta inedthe promi se" (Hebrews 6:12, IS) .This is a living example for us: Wemu st practice patience. Th e troublewith ma ny C hristia ns th ese da ys isthat th ey want to get tothe pro misedland with out going through th e wil­derness.

Th e wayside of the C hurch ofGod is full of peo ple who sta rted outwith spirit bu t lacked the stam ina tofinish the race into God 's King­dom .

Pat ience is much needed tod ay,No great things came sudde nly intobe ing. a nd we can't expec t ourC hris tia n relati on s to blossom over­nigh t.

Oil is the one resource the giantcount ry seriously lacks. Brazil im­ports about 84 percent of its require­ments, nearly a ll of it from the Mid ­dle East.

It was then tha t a group of youngeconomists - called the "C hicagoBoys" because of their training inthe principles of free economics atthe Uni versity of Chicago - wereen trusted wit h th e nation's econom­ic machine ry.

st ro ng, I want you to knew that wedeeply appreciate your prayers andsac rifices so th at the Gospel can bepre ach ed in a ll th e world wit hgreate r boldne ss tha n ever before : '

Thi s gives the co mp lete state­.ment for two years, 1978 and 1979.' It will make interest ing ....eading formost of you . And it knoc ks in the

. head all of the c raz y ru mors th at wehave bee n subjec ted to for sometime.

Abo ut Mr. Ar mstrong 's ads , theyfiave really bee n the most amaz ingeffort , I be lieve, that this Wo rk hasever undertak en . Th ey have bee nnoted by peo ple from all walks oflife. T hey have bee n noted by themedi a. T hey have turned th e medi aon, so to spea k. It has open ed a lot ofdoors for us . Neve r have they see nsuch an advertising effo rt.

A nd th en you get th e odd bouncefro m it. On severa l occas ions I'vebeen asked over the air, live, well,who's writ ing these ads ? Obviously,you must have some high-poweredadve rt ising agency. So me adve rt is­ing genius is turn ing this st uff out.And I laugh and I say . " well.yo u'rerigh t about the latte r, you're wrongabo ut the forme r: ' I said : " Mr.Arm st ron g isand has bee n an adve r­t isin g ge nius . He is maybe theworld's greatest copyw rite r."

And of course, he's writing aboutthe world's most impo rtan t mes­sage . Th e co mbi nation, I said , isabsolutely fantastic . And th ey havetro uble be lieving that a n 88 -year­old man, for example, can turn outthis produ ct . But , we all. those of uswho are in t imate wit h the situat ion,know that he wr ites every word ofit.

A. couple of week s ago he had amomentary phy sica l se tback , be­cause of the se ads. He woke up twoweek s ago , yes terda y, and he had anidea on his mind . And he j ustcould n' t wait to get to tbe type writ ­er. And he went in to his office at 6a.m. And he stayed at th at typewrit­er for six hour s, steadily. And then ,when he finished pounding away atthat typewriter, he got up too sud­d en ly, and almost fai nted , almostblacked out. He could have hit hishead and almost anything couldhave happened .

I hap pened to arri ve there j ustabout th e tim e th at took place. AndI begge d him, I sa id, " Mr . Arm­st ro ng, you j ust can't sit at a type­write r for six hours, without eati ng,

"About Mr. Armstrong's ads, they have really been themostamazingeffort, I believe, that this Work has everunder­taken. They have been notedbypeople from all walks oflife.They have been noted by the media. They have turned themedia on, so to speak. It has opened a lot ofdoors for us. "

I s till believe, regardl ess of wha thappens \,vith the bill, that it willg ive pause to th e courts, and maybegive some pause to the att orney gen­eral. who will recognize under anyset of ci rcumstances that the legisla­tu re of the state d id not believe th athe was do ing the right thin g, and hehad to be bailed out , if that is thecase, by a governor from an oppos i­tion par ty.

So we'll ju st have to watc h thatprocess a nd. as I said , pra yer is theone weapon th at we have . Th at 's th estro ngest weapon in our arsena l.Let' s not forge t it.

I have in front of me here thebrown line s o r Th e Worl d wideNews IAug.151 which contai ns ourannua l financi al report, and in greatde tail. And I j ust thought I wouldread to you my letter, whic h isatt ached, if I can find it. .l t 's alength y report . It cove rs two yea rs,right from the Arthu r Ande rsenstatement.

I say her e : "The acco m pany ingfinancial statements are probab lymore embarr assing to the atto rne ygeneral of Ca lifo rn ia tha n any otherd iscl osu re t ha t could be mad e .T rut h is a powerful weapon , and thetruth hurts liars .

upon t he Worldwid e C hurc h ofGod , and that there is, as I sa id, ada ngerous and deceptive pe rso n inthe exec utive office of the atto rneyge nera l. And th ey've said that theydon 't wan t th at to conti nue . Now it' sup to the execu tive bra nch.

Mr . Armstrong'sad wilt comin ueto run in this area , th e one abo utcults. And he has a nother one writ ­ten, it's a shorte r ad in which hethanks th e various me mbers of theother rel igiou s deno minat ions forthei r efforts in bri ng ing this billthrou gh the legi sl ature , Th eyworked very hard . O ur on ly par t init , really, was to give some advicefrom the sidelines throu gh some ofour people who have become expe rtin this field , in te rm s of cons titu­tionallaw , and, of cou rse, to give tre­mendous moral support and spiri­tu al suppo rt for th e effort.

ad mit th at his own bill, wh ich he'dfought so hard to get enacted intolaw seve ral yea rs ago, was a bad law,and part icula rly bad und er these ci r ­cumstances whe re a decept ive andda nge rous man was tr ying to usethat law in a lOtally inappropriatema nner .

So let us remember that. Let usremember to pray . We don 't knowhow quickly the governor will act.O rd inari ly, he would have to actwith in 12 davs. But we have anotherpeculiarity here because the ent iresession of the Cal iforni a legislatureends th is week . And if the re 's lessthan 12 days between the timethat abill get s sent to the governo r and th eclosing of the sess ion , he has a muc hlonger period of time with in whichto ac t. In th is case , he ' ll have some30 days or mor e. And that gives th eopposi tion perhaps a greater oppor­tun ity to mou nt an attack on the bill .By the same token , it gives us thatmuch more time to use our power ofpray er .

And there's littl e mor e that Icould tel l you a bout it now. I th inkthat's the best place to leave it. T hevictory is a great mor al one. It showsth at th e dul y co nsti tuted legislat ivebody of thi s sta te recogni zes that aterrible abuse has been perpet rated

we're able to get the point ac ross .But in dealin g with one man now,

it's a pity in th is nati on , we have onema n now in th e state of Californiawho cou ld conceivably undercu t allthe effort s of all of these sena to rsandassembl yme n, all of these ot hermajo r religious de nom inat ions, civillibertar ians, and co nstitut iona l law­yers around the co untry who haveworked so hard , along wit h Se n.Perris. who had a lot of cou rage tostand up in an elect ion yea r andintroduce such a bill .

Furthermor e. my hat is off toAssemblyman [John T.) Knox be ­cause Assemblvman Knox is a lameduck , but vcry important in thi smatt er bec ause it was his bill , Se c­t ion 9230 of the nonprofit corpora­tio n code , which would be repealedby th is Sen ate Bill 1493 . In otherwords, a bill th at AssemblymanKnox had int rod uced two year s agowould bewiped right off the books ifSenate Bill 1493 beco mes law. Andyet one or Ihe cosponsors in theassembly of this bi ll was Assembly­man Knox , who stood up in theassembly on two diffe ren t occasionsand said , " My foreb ear s came to thiscount ry to escape reli giou s persecu­tion, and I'm in favor of th e Pctri sbill : ' mea ning he was will ing to

grea t moral and polit ical defeat for[Attorney Gene ra l Geo rge ] Deuk­mcjian. th e wou ld - be , self-ap­pointed rel ig ious arbi ter of thi sstate . Deukmejian fought a very vig­oro us, deceit ful battle over this mat ­ter, the literature, the informationthat he d isseminat ed by word ofmouth and in written for m, to me isdisgraceful to have come from thehigh est law enfo rce me nt office ofthis sta te , It 's so disgr aceful th at Iam tryi ng to find a way to bring .ac tion against him . And we will filead minist rat ive pap er s fir st , de­signed to have the Ca lifornia ad min­ist rati ve process work in th at re­ga rd ,

But in lobbying in the legisl ature,he lied persistently , j ust as outrage­ous lyas he has in th e pas t. He but ­tonholed thro ug h his office and hisdeputies eve ry single asse mblymanand every single senator with morelies, and he sent his peop le on tel evi­sion and radio. I was a one-mantr uth squad, following them up.Yo u ca n see it so far, I've had muchmore succ ess than he has had . And ,of cou rse, that is'beca use God was, Ithink , wat ching to be sure th atwould be so.

But I've followed up every timetheattorney ge neral said something,or one of his deputies sa id some thi ngon radi o or tel evision , or a ny ti methe y issued some memora nda to th esenators or to the asse mblymen. Iwas following up as a one-ma n tru thsq uad. And I've had very good ac­cess in the Sacramen to area , theSac ramento te levision and radiosta­tions have rece ived me graciously,given us a tremend ou s amount oftime . And j ust last wee k I had threeimportan t sessio ns on televi sion ,two 20-min ute live sessions and one30-minute tape session -that wasshown S unday morni ng in th e BayArea a nd in Sac ramento . All ofthose things were doors th at pre­vious ly had been closed to us. Andthose door s are opening to us, and

"Oh Daddy, the Feast is over toosoon!" sighed Wendy. "It will be solong until I can see all my friendsagain . As soon as I get back to schoolall the Halloween stuff will begin.Why can 't the feast last forever?"

"Yes, there is so much I still want todo. We only got to the beach twice . Iwanted to see all the animals at the zooagain. It was so much fun to see ourfriends in the Church. Why can't theFeast be longer?" asked Chad.

Mr. and Mrs. Evans looked at eachother sadly . They felt just the same .Mrs. Evans leaned on the car door herhusband had just opened. "We knowhow you feel. We 're leaving many of

our friends behind, too. Now there willonly be services once a week and every­one lives so far apart," she saiJ. .

"Let's not all get weepy. There willbe other feasts. .In fact, you couldalmost say that the whole Millenniumwill be a feast, even better than a feastnow. Remember SOmeof the sermonswe heard? The lion will lie down withthe calf. Lions will be led by children.A grown man would have a hard timeleading a lion now. I wouldn't want totry. In fact, the lion will eat grass likethe cow, A baby will be able to playover the hole of one of the most dan­gerous snakes of all, the asp;' said Mr.Evans.

"We studied about the asp atschool. It's in the same family as therattlesnake, copperhead, water moc­casin and viper .' It is very dangerousnow. It will really be something when a

baby can play over the hole of one,"remarked Wendy.

"It will be something when a childcan lead a lion . When I was a kid in 4-HI could barely lead and keep my dairycow under control. And 'they aretame, n said Mrs . Evans.

"That prophecy speaks about thewolf and the lamb living together. Youknow how the farmers at home hate tosee a dog around that' kills sheep .Wolves are even worse about it thandogs. Isaiah also said, 'They shall nothurt nor destroy in all my holy moun­tain : for the earth shall be full of theknowledge of the Lord, as the waterscover the sea.' That means that therewill be no fear and no one will be hurtwherever God's government is, andHis government will be allover theearth like the water is allover the sea,"added Mr. Evans.

"We saw how big the ocean is. Itwas nice having our hotel on the Atlan­tic Ocean. As far as we could see therewas still ocean," said Chad.

. "Docs that mean that everyone willknow about God like we do now?"asked Wend y.

"Yes, and they will probably knoweven more than we do because all thesaints will be Gods then and will teachthe people all about Jesus Christ andthe father. The Bible speaks of peoplehearing a voice behind them to leadthem in the right way," said Mrs .Evans.

"You mean all people will be able totalk toGod then'!" asked Chad .

" Uh, huh . And no one will be sadand cry or be hungry and starve todeath again . When people get sick Godwill heal them as He heals us today,"answered Mr. Evans.

"T hat sounds great! f wish the Mil­lennium were here already!" pro­claimed Wendy.

"1 like the part about the plowman

.,.j

overtaking the reaper. That means theland will produce so much and the cli­mate .will be so good that people willplant and harvest all the time. People.will even throw out old food that isgood to make room for new . food.There will be all kinds of wonderfulthings to eat like we had here at thefeast," said Mrs. Evans .

"Wendy and I will live in that time,won't we?" asked Chad.

"I think so. Everyone will know allabout the Church'and God . There willbe peace and abundance everywhere.The scripture that makes me the hap­piest is Isaiah 54:13 . It says: ' All thychildren shall be taught of the Lord;and great shall be the peace of thy chil­dren.' That means all the people alivein the Millennium. That will be thefirst generation to have peace . Justthink of that! Of all the millions ofpeople who have lived on earth, theywill be the first ones to have peace .

When I was a young man I had toworry about being drafted to fight inVietnam . Your uncle Greg died in thewarin Korea . Your grandfather foughtin the Pacific in World War II . And hisfather was in World War I. And all theway back as long as there have beenmen in our family, in all families, themen have fought in wars while thewomen hoped that they would comehome alive. The people in the Millen­nium will never have to worry aboutwar. Great will be the peace of our chil­dren," said Mr . Evans.

."Well, kids , let's get in the car . It' stime to hit the road, " said Mrs .Evans.

So they all piled into the car.Mr . Evans turned around and said ,

" T h is Feast is over , but soon the realone will begin ."

He turned the key and they headedhome into the setting sun of the LastGreat Day of the feast.
