the glances of others.We should understand that

when Mr. Armstrong made the1981 decision regarding cosmet­ics, the circumstances were verycomplex. He had returned toPasadena after several years inTucson, Ariz., during which anumber of leading ministers hadturned aside to liberal ideas. Hewas faced with the task of restat­ing the basic doctrines of theChurch and unifying the Body.

On several occasions he wit­nessed the outlandish, overboarduse of makeup by some membersaround Pasadena. He realizedthat many women were begin­ning to appear un-Christian intheir lack of restraint in dressand use of makeup. He then be­gan to feel that he was personallyresponsible for allowing such athing to happen because of his1974 decision.

Thus, the use of makeup be­came symbolic of the whole lib­eral movement in the Churchand Mr. Armstrong attacked itforcefully, reversing theChurch's position again, in an ef­fort to correct the situation.Even then, however, he said heconsidered it a minor question ofitself.

Any aspect of our appe¥ancesas human beings can become avain show. I hope that any of ourwomen who choose to use cos­metics will continue to follow theprinciples of modesty and discre­tion in every aspect of their ap­pearance.

If cosmetics are worn in van­ity, in lust or in an effort toattract the sexual attention of

The use of cosmetics does notdisplay a reckless disregard forthe well-being of oneself andothers; nor do all cosmetics nec­essarily present a proven healthrisk to users. Consequently, theprinciples of health that show usthat a Christian should not usetobacco do not apply equally indeciding the question of cosmet­ics.

The major factor in question­ing whether cosmetics should beused by Christians is the conceptof vanity. We all realize thatChristians, both men andwomen, are to conduct their livesin appropriate modesty and hu­mility, not drawing undue atten­tion to themselves through a gar­ish or outlandish appearance.

It is time, therefore, that werealize that cosmetics, like everyother aspect of Christian appear­ance, can be either used oravoided within these principles.

Therefore, if a Christianwoman is to use makeup, shemust be absolutely sure that hermotives and her attitudes are di­rected toward modest and chastegrooming, not toward attracting

PERSONAL FROMH~~

Dear brethren:About a year ago (June

22, 1987) I mentioned thatif it should become appar­ent that we needed to re­consider the Church'steaching about the use ofcosmetics, we would givethe subject appropriateconsideration.

As in any area, we must bewilling to change if Godshows us we are wrong.

There is no question that thegeneral principles about dressand grooming that I wrote aboutat that time are those that weneed to adhere to as Christians.But the question remains, Doesevery use of cosmetics contradictthose principles?

As you may know, Mr. Her­bert Armstrong spoke out on themisuse of cosmetics in the 1940s.He set the Church's positionabout cosmetics in 1955 as a re­sult of the use of makeup to chal­lenge his authority.

He relaxed that position in1974, and reversed that relax­ation in 1981. This helps us seethat the answer does not rest onclearly defined biblical instruc­tion.

Of course, the subjects ofpride, lust and vainglory arequite clearly addressed in theScriptures. But the Bible simplydoes not give us plain statementsforbidding the use of cosmetics.And it certainly does not labelcosmetics as sin. It is not thething--eosmetics-that is sin,but the kind of use to which thething may be put.

Let me explain.It's true that where facial

makeup is mentioned in theBible, such as in II Kings 9:30and Ezekiel 23:40, it is men­tioned in connection with im­moral practices. Even so, theseverses do not, in themselves, for­bid all use of makeup.

But they do underscore an im­portant principle. When awoman is focusing on her sexual­ity in an effort to attract a lover,she is likely to use makeup in an

The greetings read, in part:"Knowing the great spiritual mis­sion of your Church and many localfollowers, I am certain that yourpresence here and the Sabbath ser­vice on October 29th will prove tobe a special blessing for thousands."

In his sermon Mr. Tkach ex­pounded unity within the Churchfamily, explained the analogy of theChurch as God's spiritual army andadmonished brethren to avoid aLaodicean attitude.

Global peace in porcelain

After speaking the pastor generalwas given a Boehm porcelain sculp­ture titled Global Peace, an en­graved replica of the one presentedby President Reagan to GeneralSecretary Mikhail Gorbachev attheir summit meeting Dec. 8, 1987.

"The replica is limited editionNo.7 of only 400 that will be pro­duced," Mr. Meyer told Mr. Tkach."This sculpture is dedicated to thepeople of God's Church worldwide,to Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace,and to God our Father. It is to bepresented to you, Mr. Tkach, ourpastor general, in honor of your of­fice."

Seven doves spiraling the globerepresent the seven continents, adynamic symbol of the world'sreach for peace, Mr. Meyer added.

"But those in God's Churchknow the world will never achievepeace on its own. Global peace willonly come about through thepreaching of the Gospel, the Workof the Church and the power ofGod."

More than 4,000 brethren thenspent about three hours meeting thepastor general. A ministerial meet­ing in the Arena was followed by abuffet in the Holiday Inn DaytonMall for 325 ministers, deacons,deaconesses and their spouses.

"The brethren were extremelyopen and responsive to Mr. Tkach,"said Mr. Webber. "You could sensethere was an open door to expressideas, suggestions, concerns, laugh­ter and appreciation."

"It would certainly be nice tohave Mr. Tkach here every Sab­bath," said Bernie Andzik, a mem­ber in the Dayton P.M. church.

Mr. Tkach "wove the theme offamily throughout his sermon andleft no doubt in anyone's mind thateach person has his part in tighten­ing up the fabric so we can cover thisworld with God's way of life," saidRobin Webber, pastor of thePasadena Imperial P.M. church,who with his wife, Susan, accompa­nied the pastor general.

The trip began when Mr. Tkachboarded the Church's GuifstreamIII jet in Burbank, Calif., Oct. 28.

In Dayton, Ray Meyer, DaytonA.M. and P.M. pastor and trip coor­dinator, his wife, Carol, and otherministers greeted the pastor generaland his party.

On the way to Sabbath servicesOct. 29 Mr. Tkach stopped by Car­illon Tower, a bell tower that by aprevious arrangement was playing"Glorious Things of Thee Are Spo­ken" and "Onward Christian Sol­diers," according to Mr. Meyer.

Giant challenges await new President

is a supranational governmentgrowing .inside 12 nations-withthe nucleus at Brussels.

In an Oct. 26 speech, Commis­sion President Jacques Delors saidthat the European Economic Com­munity "was on the threshold of theirreversible." In other words thepoint of no return is fast approach­ing. The baby is going to be born.

Professor Wohlegemuth alsospoke of a common currency and acentral bank as "the fmal segmentin the arch that brings about a fed­eration:'

Think what it would be like not tohave the pound sterling. The Britishpound and the American dollarhave dominated the currency scenefor longer than a century. No won­der British Prime Minister Mar­garet Thatcher has resisted a com­mon currency and a central bank.

David Owen, a leading memberof the British Parliament, saidflatly: "Whether Britain likes it ornot, a European central bank will beset up within a few years.

"It will grow out of the wider useof the Ecu [European currencyunit] and the steady transfer ofmore executive power to the exist­ing committee of European centralbank governors. If Britain ob­structs, the others will simply moveon."

Likewise, Lord Cockfield, vicepresident of the European Commis­sion, said in the Oct. 25 Daily Mail:"The path on which we have nowembarked will lead inevitably to theestablishment of a central bank andthen as the final step a Europeancurrency:'

To sum up, national sovereigntyis being transferred to Brussels. Theprocess now seems inevitable.

Those who support Europe haveset their face to establish a suprana­tional federation-a United Statesof Europe. They speak of the EECas a future government in embryo.They fully expect this embryo tocome to birth.

The Church is the Kingdom ofGod in embryo. Its purpose is fardifferent. And this Kingdom is eter­nal. The other body will perish withall worldly kingdoms.

would go to pay for new programs,not to reduce the federal deficit.

Mr. Bush will largely be judgedon how well the economy performs.But Congress controls the pursestrings. It is in Congress where pres­sures to fund vast new programs, toincrease taxes and to preserve Amer­icanjobs (protectionism) originate.

Nevertheless it is the highly visi­ble office of the Presidency that willtake most of the blame for anythingthat goes wrong economically, if itdoes.

"The impasse in American eco­nomic policy," speculated the Nov.5-11 Economist, could "confrontthe new president in what mightthen turn out to be his first and onlyterm."

But we must not get too far aheadofthe story. "No one can confidentlypredict," opined the ov. 10 WallStreet Journal, "how any new Presi­dent will turn out."

In his first press conference, Mr.Bush said he had no intention to rollover and accept the liberal agenda.That, he said, was "what this elec­tion was about."

BOREHAMWOOD, England­When I came to Ambassador Col­lege in 1960, the Kingdom of Godwas a mystery to me.

Then in 1962 Herbert W. Arm­strong published an article definingwhat the Kingdom is.

I Corinthians 15:50 says that"flesh and blood cannot inherit thekingdom of God." From this andother scriptures we know that theChurch, composed of flesh-and­blood humans, cannot now be theKingdom of God.

Later Mr. Armstrong saw thatthe Church is the Kingdom of Godin embryo. The Church will becomethe Kingdom at the first resurrec­tion.

This year I took a London Uni­versity night course about the Eu­ropean Economic Community(EEC).

At the first lecture I talked withProfessor Ernest Wohlegemuth ofthe Political Department at Leices­ter (England) University. I was as­tonished when he referred to theEEC as a government in embryo.

The EEC is composed of severalbodies-<:hief of which are the Eu­ropean Council, the EuropeanCommission and the European Par­liament. These bodies produce leg­islation and executive orders.

Employees of the EEC behavelike human beings-with a substan­tial dosage of human nature.

That is, bureaucrats at EECheadquarters in Brussels, Belgium,sometimes struggle with each otherfor influence.

Professor Wohlegemuth men­tioned the overspill effect. An illus­tration is the European Parliament.Parliament members know mem­bers of the council and the commis­sion. They even know members ofthe British Parliament. A few aremembers of both parliaments.Many are friends. There is a lot ofpolitical interaction in Brussels,Strasbourg and Luxembourg.

In other words things get donethrough friendships as well asthrough official action.

Concerning Professor Wohlege­muth's statement about a govern­ment in embryo: What the EEC has

Some of this may be political pos­turing. And Mr. Bush, an ex-Con­gressman, is wise to the ways ofCon­gress. Nevertheless, the men andwomen on Capitol Hill, especially inthe lower House of Representatives,have a sense ofexpanded power.

Bush-not high, but a substantialincrease for the Republican ticketover previous elections.

Yet, despite general individualsuccess there is a nagging publicdoubt that all is not right with theeconomy.

The nation's economic house ofcards did not collapse with the stockmarket plunge of October, 1987.But investors have been wary of in­vesting in the market ever since.

Many worry about the long-termeffect of the corporate takeoverfever sweeping Wall Street. Gigan­tic multibillion dollar buy-outs andmergers are financed through mas­sive loan packages, greatly increas­ing corporate indebtedness.

To add to this, the federal budgetdeficit and trade deficit show littlesigns ofdisappearing.

And the latest worry is what willhappen to the nation's financiallydistressed savings and loan associa­tions (known as building societies inBritish terminology).

Federal insurance agencies can nolonger cover expected claims. It isestimated that taxpayer infusions torescue the S&Ls could cost $55 bil­lion-about as much as the MarshallPlan, which put war-torn Europeback on its feet.

These problemscould place Presi­dent-elect Bush in a bind-espe­cially if he holds to his oft-repeatedpromise not to raise taxes.

In his victory celebration thenight of his election, President-electBush repeated his desire to see a"kinder, gentler, America" developduring his term ofoffice.

PASADENA-As the polls pre­dicted, American voters by a sub­stantial margin elected George Bushto be their next President.-

Vice President Bush's Nov. 8 vic­tory over Democratic challengerMichael Dukakis confirmed thatmost voters preferred to keep the po­litical machinery in the country go­ing much in the same direction as inthe past eight years.

The public selected the candidateit felt could best preserve nationalsecurity and keep the six-year-IongReagan economic recovery roIlingforward.

The average voter, opined theNov. 8 Wall Street Journal, "knowsfrom his own life the importantthings-whether he and his friendshave jobs [and] whether his son maybe sentto war."

Upon deeper examination, how­ever, there is both good news and badnews concerning the Americaneconomy. On the plus side, evidenceindicates that most Americans areeconomically better offnow than be­fore Ronald Reagan became Presi­dent in January, 1981, or at least af­ter the U.S. economy pulled out ofits 1982 recession.

The gains have been most dra­matic among groups who had previ­ously not shared to an equal degreein America's prosperity.

ics cannot be, of itself, wrong.Thirty-five or 40 years ago,

the use of cosmetics in Westernsociety was a somewhat differentmatter culturally than it is today.Then, the use of cosmetics wasavoided among conservative reli­gious people, for whom the useof cosmetics was deemed world­liness. Today, a person does notparticularly stand out as worldlywhether wearing. makeup or notwearing it, unless it is wornheavily or to excess.

So the challenge to God's pe0­ple is this: If or when one wearsmakeup, can that person wear itonly in a manner that will pro­mote a natural, unpretentious,Christian appearance?

The Bible speaks about "wan­ton eyes." Many makeup appli­cations are designed to make theeyes look mysterious, or preten­tious. The Christian's eyesshould appear innocent and pure,not streetwise or mysterious.

Dyeing hair to a natural color,or darkening light eyebrows toappear natural are examples ofusing makeup to enhance naturalappearance as opposed to using itto appear punkish, hard, worldly­wise, mysterious or sexually ag­gressive.

The point is that we strive tosee that any use of cosmetics fitswithin the biblical principles wehave outlined. Those are, again,briefly: (l) have the right mo­tive; (2) strive for a modest anddignified appearance; (3) steeraway from a mysterious or astreetwise look; and (4) reflectthe meekness and humility of Je­sus Christ.

Parents need to teach theirchildren about God's principleson dress and grooming, and seethat their older teens who mayoccasionally use cosmetics set adignified example. It is aparental decision about whetherand when to permit teenagedaughters to use makeup.

Now I know that a few mayfind great fault with me for thisdecision. That is one of the bur­dens I have to carry in the jobGod has placed upon my shoul­ders. But I do not believe thatGod would have us continue toplace this unnecessary stumblingblock (and that is what it is tomany new converts) before Hispeople.

Some may say, "Yes, but Je­sus is a stone of~tumbling and arock of offense to many." Tothat I say, yes, but let Jesus andthe true, clear, provable doc­trines of the Bible be a stone'ofstumbling to those who refuse toobey Him-not this unprovablestance against a physical aspectof modern culture,

Thank you again for your con­tinued faithful prayers for God'sWork and for me, personally.

Report from

PASADENA-After a two-month wait, I am able to give a financialreport for September and October.

A major source of income for this period is the fall Holy Dayofferings. The increases compared to last year were good. They wereas follows: Feast of Trumpets, 7 percent; Day of Atonement, 6.8percent; Feast of Tabernacles, 9.1 percent; and the Last Great Day,5.6 percent. The combined percentage increase for Holy Day offeringsduring 1988 was 8.7 percent.

September and October combined produced a 14.3 percent in­crease over the same period last year. There is only one explanationI know of for such a fine increase. A number of churches were prayingfor a sizable increase for those specific months.

This increase brought the year-to-date figure through October to 7.1percent more than last year.

This increase, plus the sale proceeds from the Gulfstream III jet, willstrengthen the reserves.

other words, a Christian womanshould be different. She shouldnot only be a shining example ofhumility, purity and meekness,but she should also look like it.Her appearance should be natu­ral, pure, modest and unpreten­tious ...

"The Bible is filled with posi­tive examples of being clean,well groomed and well dressed.A Christian woman should notappear dowdy, sloppy or un­kempt. Clean, attractive clothing(yet without being outlandish,wild or trendy) within one's bud­get is right and appropriate.

"I Timothy 2:9 teaches us todress modestly, in a becomingmanner, but avoiding extrava­gant attire that would attract un­due attention. Clean, attractivehairstyles (again, without beinggaudy or outrageous) are rightand good. The Bible speaks fa­vorably of jewelry worn mod­

dresses attractively, takes care ofherself, is well groomed andserves God reflects the kind ofnatural, wholesome beauty thatis pleasing to God. She is reflect­ing the meekness and humility ofJesus Christ-an attitude that isunassuming, yet quietly confi­dent and capable. She is not in­timidated by the world and itsfalse system of values.

"She is a woman who radiatescourage and poise because herstrength and confidence are inGod.

"Let's also realize that womendo not have the corner on thepride market. Self-exaltation andpride are human traits every bitas common to men as to women.It is that attitude of mind that allChristians must fight in everyarea of life ...

"On the other extreme, somewomen and men in modern soci­ety have actually forsaken goodgrooming and skin and hair careall in the name of 'personal free­dom' and rejection of the 'repres­sive' standards of the 'establish­ment.'

"This too is wrong, and dis­plays a careless disregard for tak­ing proper care of the body asthe temple of the Holy Spirit. Itis simply another form of humanpride,"

Charles Desgrosseilliers, a 1988Ambassador College graduate, whowas sent to Sri Lanka in 1985 tohelp prepare Waterfield Institute,was sent to Sri Lanka Oct. 18 to be­gin preparing the new school.

Mr. Desgrosseilliers will overseethe second-year school, which willhave about 30 students, under thesupervision of David Baker, direc­tor of the Waterfield Institute.

The Sri Lankan government alsodonated six million rupees (about$225,(00) to the trust to be used forthe running of the school.

The buildings were bought byADEPT for one million rupees(about $65,(00) from the Swedish­based Kotmale Dam developmentalproject Aug. 10.

ADEPT was set up in 1981 afterMr. Dissanayake, a Sri Lankan cab­inet minister, discussed with Her­bert W. Armstrong the problems ofhis country and asked for his help.

Mr. Remo, a member who at­tends the San Fernando, Pampanga,Philippines, church, is a salesmanfor the Professional Products Divi­sion of Johnson & Johnson (Philip­pines), Inc. His primary productline is surgical supplies and instru­ments.

The TOPS awards ceremony isan annual event sponsored by theSales & Marketing Executives In­ternational (SMEI), Philippines, tohonor outstanding Philippine sales­men who in the previous year distin­guished themselves in the sellingprofession.

The local SMEI is composed ofmore than 100 member companiesrepresenting the whole spectrum ofthe selling industry, from productsto services.

The Armstrong-Dissanayake Ed­ucation Partnership Trust(ADEPT) bought the buildingswith no additional funds from theAmbassador Foundation, Mr.Locke said. "They are financing theschool and we are supplying themanpower."

Rose Parade President J.H. Big­gar approached Mr. Tkach about ayear ago and "asked how we couldhelp to make the centennial celebra­tion special," said Mr. Jutsum.

"We were invited to perform forthe kickoff ceremony in April, but itfell during the Days of UnleavenedBread. We made the commitmentthen to be involved in the centennialgala.

"They think of us not only asgood neighbors, but also as havingprovided fine entertainment formany of their community functionsover the last 12 years."

Ambassador Auditorium stagecrew employees provided the light­ing design and technical assistance,and Rick Peterson and Tom Crabbof the Music Department did audioengineering and mixing.

"It's good exposure for the col­lege to be involved in something likethis," Mr. Jutsum said. "This givesan opportunity for them to see thestudents up close-to see them inaction doing the entertainment andletting their light shine in thatway."

ildren's CornerThe 'Light' Basket

~Artwork to color by Ken Tunell

By Vivian Pettijo"Mother," Kathy Winfield asked

on the Sunday afternoon beforeThanksgiving, "do you need this oldbasket any more?"

"Oh, 1 guess not," Mother an­swered. "Why do you ask?"

"Well," Kathy said excitedly, "Ihave an idea. 1 want to do somethingMr. Tkach suggested at the Feast. I'llexplain later, OK?"

"All right, honey," Mother an-

swered, puzzled.Kathy, almost 9 years old, hurried

into her bedroom, where she got outher art supplies, paper and a pen. Thenshe skipped across the hall to her olderbrothers' bedroom and asked them tohelp her.

"What's up, sis?" Rocky asked, ashe followed her into her room.

"Yeah, what do you want?" Jeffquestioned. "Will it take long?"

"It won't take long," Kathy said in alow voice. "Do you remember that inMr. Tkach's opening day Feast mes­sage he said we should be a 'light' topeople who aren't in the Church?"

"I remember," Rocky said. "Butwhat does that have to do with a basketand art supplies? That basket doesn'tlook to me like any kind of light."

"Of course not, silly," Kathyagreed, laughing. "But we can makethe basket seem like a light to ourneighbor, Mrs Mendoza. She hurt herleg yesterday. Now here's what 1 hadin mind."

Several minutes later Kathy foundboth parents in the living room talk­ing.

"Excuse me," she said, "but couldRocky, Jeff and 1show you our 'light'basket?"

"A 'light' basket?" Daddy asked."What's that? Please show it to us."

The three Winfield children soonjoined their parents with Kathy hold­ing the basket, which was decoratedwith strips of yellow, brown and or­ange paper. Slips of white paper stuckout.

"Well," Kathy explained,"Thanksgiving will be here in a fewdays, and we wanted to do somethingfor someone who isn't in theChurch-you know, let our lightshine. Since God's way is the give waywe fixed up this basket to give to Mrs.Mendoza. She hurt her leg yesterday,and we'd like to give her somethingextra for Thanksgiving.

Kathy asked, "Daddy, could we putsome apples and oranges inside the

basket along with these slips of pa­per?"

"Why, sure," Daddy said. "Butwhat is written on the paper?"

Rocky spoke up. "We each toldMrs. Mendoza about some job wewould do for her. On my paper 1said 1would rake her leaves next Sunday­right after 1 rake ours."

"And 1said 1would be glad to takeout her trash until she feels better,"said Jeff.

"And 1 told her 1 would dust her, furniture and do errands for her-if

that's OK with you," said Kathy."Would helping her this way be likebeing a light?"

As Daddy smiled and nodded,Mother said: "I'd like to help too. 1could fix a casserole and salad to taketo her. And we'll ask her what else sheneeds."

" ow we're really getting into theattitude," Dad said, smiling. "Andwe're glad you children were listeningto Mr. Tkach."

Some of the differences betweenthem and their classmates, how­ever, are major ones.

"Other kids have Easter, Christ­mas and their birthdays," said Tim."We don't even have birthdays, wejust tum another age. But we cele­brate Thanksgiving."

"The Bible doesn't actually saywhen Christ was born or died, so wedon't celebrate those days," saidRyan. "And we don't have birth­days because we don't want peopleto feel they have to give us presents.We don't need gifts because parentsgive us things."

He felt we should see a neurosur­geon to determine whether this wasa regrowth of the previous tumor.

We made arrangements to see theneurosurgeon recommended by theemergency room physician and leftfor home.

Meanwhile results of a CAT scantwo years ago were ordered from aNashville, Tenn., hospital for theneurosurgeon to compare.

When Debra saw the neurosur­geon two days later, he had not re­ceived the old CAT scan results yet,but he did talk with her about whatthe new CAT scan showed and howto deal with it.

Debra and I contacted anotherneurosurgeon on the recommenda­tion of a physician friend ofours be­fore making any decisions as totreatment.

After Sabbath services June 18,Debra was anointed as Roger Abels,pastor of the Louisville church, andCharles Utterback, a local churchelder, asked God to intervene andheal her of any disease.

Debra had an appointment withthe flfSt neurosurgeon the followingMonday to go over cerebrospinalfluid (CSF) test results and reviewthe old CAT scans. She was givenanother CAT scan using a dye tobetter see the area in question.

That scan revealed a healthybrain.

Comparing all of the CAT scansit was obvious that in 1986 therewas calcification but no disease; onthe previous Wednesday there wascalcification and disease; and on thefollowing Monday there was no cal­cification and no disease.

Another test the followingThursday confrrmed Monday's re­sults, and the doctors gave Debra aclean bill of health.

early afternoon of June 15, while athome with our two children, mywife, Debra, became ill with violentnausea and was unable to controlher arm and legs.

Harvel and Debra Rogers at­tend the Louisville, Ky., church.

Because she felt she was going tolose consciousness and not be able tocare for the children, she called meat work, and I told her I would comeimmediately.

As I drove home Debra becamemore ill and attempted to call anemergency medical service, but wasunable to complete the call. Our 6­year-old daughter, Sarah, gave theemergency personnel my wife'sname and our address.

I got home after the ambulancetook Debra to the hospital, and aftermaking arrangements with some­one to look after the children, I wentdirectly to the hospital.

After an initial examination theemergency room physician felt thatbecause ofher symptoms and medi­cal history a CAT scan was neces­sary to aid in diagnosing her prob­lems.

About 17 years ago Debra had atumor removed, along with the op­tic nerve and surrounding tissue be­hind her left eye, leaving her blindin that eye.

Although periodic tests over theyears had showed no recurrence ofthat tumor, the doctors thought itprudent to check it out.

The CAT scan showed calcifica­tion from the previous surgery andanother area of about five centime­ters, which a doctor described as alow-density mass.

Second scan revealsno evidence ofdisease

At this meeting, the boys hadbeen listening to evangelist RichardAmes.

"When was the last time youprayed for President and Mrs. Rea­gan?" Ames asked of the crowd."God wants us to pray for all men."

At the lunch break, Ryan ex­plained that prayer is something"we do every day. When we get upand go to sleep and before everymeal."

"Except at school," added Tim.Most of his schoolmates are not ofhis religion.

Their behavior, like most of thechildren at the festival, echoes theadults around them.

All the brothers, includingDanny, age 6, have been dressing upfor church events since they werebabies. Tim quickly whipped off hisred tie to demonstrate how to tie aWindsor knot.

Tim likes dressing up. "I'm usedto it. I do it every day at privateschool," he said. And he, along withall his brothers, said they liked thefeast.

"I like it because we learn aboutGod," said Tim. "I like God's truththe best," said Danny. And Kevinliked "blessing," referring to a spe-

The congregations raise funds foractivities and other needs by con­ducting secondhand goods sales andby delivering telephone directories.One use of these funds is to pay allthe camp fees for Church youthswho travel to Lake Moogerah forthe Summer Educational Program(SEP).

"It is the goal throughout Aus­tralia for each youth to be able toattend camp twice," Mr. Regazzolisaid. "Beginning this year an SEPcamp will rotate from state to state(in addition to the Lake Moogerahsite) so that more will have the op­portunity to go, and this year, forthe first time, there will be a campin Perth."

The climate in Perth lends itself

The Perth congregations includemany immigrants and children ofimmigrants from England, Poland,Germany, Holland and many otherparts ofthe world. Several memberswere baptized during a baptizingtour in the early 1960s.

Longtime members in the con­gregations include Jacoba Schus­sler, Rene Brennan, Faye Dennisand Bonnie Hanrahan, all of whomwere baptized in 1962. The oldestmember in the congregation isMyrtle Finnin, who is 93.

Many members learned of theChurch when The World Tomor­row was broadcast on radio stationsin Perth and Kalgoorlie, Australia,and from Reader's Digest adver­tisements. A church was estab­lished here in 1966 with 105brethren in attendance.

"Perth is a boom area. Most ofour growth now comes from mem­bers moving in from other areas,"Mr. Regazzoli said.
