There has al 0 been talk ofreinstituting the draft, whichwould foster an additional waveof protest.

But the saddest reality of all isthat even a rapid coalition victo­ry would not change the funda­mental moral void in the UnitedStates and Western society. Theroot causes of world problemsare not going away regardless ofwhat happens in the gulf.

This drop in expenses is primar­ily the result of a reduction in thenumber of stations airing the tele­cast. In 1987 that total was 280,but it is 125 this year. However,the number of television hou e­holds reached by the teleca tincreased from 1.2 million in 1988

Dear Brethren,As each day passes, it

becomes more clear thatthe United States and itsallied forces are involvedin a prolonged war in thePersian Gulf.

Saddam Hussein is a for­midable foe, and any itua­tion in the Middle East isunpredictable.

Even if Saddam himself iskilled, Mideast hostilities cer­tainly will not end. ow thereare even concerns that Iran maybe giving aid to Iraq.

Economic problems stillplague the United States, anddespite President George Bush'soptimistic State of the Unionaddre s, hard times are ahead.

Right now, most Americanssupport the President in the wareffort. But, as in any warinvolving the nited States,there is a vocal antiwar minori­ty. Hard time at home can onlyadd to their discontent over thewar.

Many of tho e who now sup-

the annual U.S. running budgetfor air time increased by about$15 million. an average of 38 per­cent a year. By the late 1980s. itbecame obvious the Church couldno longer afford to pursue theame time-buying strategy.

In 1988 Pastor General JosephW. Tkach decided the Churchshould no longer evaluate sta­tions in terms of cost perresponse, as it did under the oldphilo ophy. (Cost per response isthe number of literature requestproduced in proportion to the costfor airing the program on a sta­tion.) The Church now evaluates

Mr. Wright reported on thisreduction during a Jan. 9 presenta­tion about the Church's televi iontime-buying efforts between 1980and 1991.

The primary reason for thisdrop. he aid, was the change inthe Church's time-buying philoso­phy in 1988.

In the early and middle 1980s,when many parts of the nation didnot have access to The WorldTomorrow, the Church tookadvantage of many opportunitiesto increase availability of the tele­cast.

Becau e of that philosophy,coverage increased from 55 sta­tions reaching about 206,000 tele­vi ion households to 273 stationsreaching 1.2 million televisionhouseholds. As coverage grew,more people became aware of theteleca t and more opportunitieopened.

But expenses for U.S. televisioncoverage also grew, according toMr. Wright. From 1980 to 1988,

PASADENA-After a test run with the Jan. 28 issue, TheWorldwide News is now printed on 100 percent recyclednewspaper (excluding about 3,500 copies printed in Australia),the same paper used by many major city newspapers.

Although the paper may not appear quite as white or asbright, and photographs may not be as clear or crisp, usingrecycled paper will save 2,210 trees, 914,500 gallons of water,540 kilowatt hours of electricity and 8,000 pounds of pollutingeffluents every year, according to a study done by PublishingServices. Because the paper is also recyclable it can be usedagain and will therefore help reduce waste in landfills.

We feel our readers will be willing to sacrifice a small amountof .clarity and detail in the interest of the environment. In additionto ecological benefits, using recycled paper should save theWork about $10,000 a year.

"Having a few recognizablesources adds credibility for thelocal audience."

From time to time the Britishtaff may replace an entire article

with a local article or give Editori­al Services in Pasadena sugges­tions for specific graphic needs.

Another difference in theBritish edition is an advertisementpromoting The Plain Truth on theback cover, replacing an ad for theWorld Tomorrow telecast thatappears in the U.S. edition, be­cause the telecast is not generallyavailable in England.

"As with any editing. the knackis in catching the minor irritantsthat would prevent the writer' sintended message from gettingthrough." said Dexter Faulkner,European bureau chief.

"There are so many variances ofwords and misunderstandings-Ithink these changes will reallyimprove the product there. And themembership I've talked to is veryexcited about it and supportive."

BBDO buyers did not \o\orkexclu ively on behalf of the tele­cast. They bought television timefor several additional clients.

Although it is not uncommonfor corporations to switch agen­cies or services every few years.neither Mr. Tkach, nor Mr. Wrighttook this decision lightly. BBDOhas done a fine job for the Work.The Church can look back on itsa sociation with the agency asproductive and successful.

On the other hand. the Churchcannot ignore the changing needsof the future. The Church believesthat Janik & Associates can moresuccessfully fulfIll those needs.

Three principal reasons ac­count for the change. One. theChurch will ave money. UnlikeBBDO. Janik & Associates isnot a full-service advertisingagency, but rather a televisiontime-buying service. It canafford to take a smaller commis­sion. cutting expenses for theChurch.

Brit~h Plain Truth launchedBy Jeff E, Zhorne

PASADENA- ot only doesFebruary mark the beginning ofthe newly merged Plain Truth andGood Neil'S magazines, emphasiz­ing a biblical perspective, but alsothe launch of the Briti h or angli­cized Plain Truth.

The British edition "reachespeople with something thatdoesn't look quite so American onits face," said evangelist LarrySalyer, director of Church Admin­istration International.

Readers might have to look care­fully to notice the differences, "butthey're critical," Mr. Salyer said.

"English is different worldwide,and we want to be culturally sen­sitive. We are trained through ourculture, and sometimes our glean­ings of information throughout theworld aren't accurate."

Pastor General Joseph W. Tkachsaid he wants to package and pre­sent the gospel message to betterreach people of a particular culture.

"Is that a sufficient reason to goto an international version? Wethink so, and we believe it willhave a reasonably strong impact,"Mr. Salyer said.

BBDO al'o made some break­through . including airing the tele­cast on cable stations as well as net­work owned-and-operated stations.

Since the Church regularlyreviews the effectiveness of itsagencies, however. and as wemove into the '90s, the Churchfound that Janik & Associatesprovides certain types of servicesthat could be more effective forthe Church and save money too.

Before proposing the change.Ray Wright. department managerof Media Planning & Promotion.conducted lengthy discussions withDick Janik, agency president. TheChurch previously dealt with Mr.Janik when he worked for EdLibov & Associates, a buying ser­vice that served the Work before

South Africa

A four-day camp was conduct­ed for 32 Church youths fromCape Town Dec. 23 to 27.

The SEP took place at theS.O.S. Youth Center, near Vil­liersdorp, 100 kilometers (62miles) from Cape Town.

Most of the youths "are fairlyscattered and live in city areaswhere they are limited in whatthey can do," said camp directorPieter van der Byl, a minister inCapeTown.

"Camps like these provide agreat opportunity for them to betogether to enjoy wholesome activ­itie in a wholesome envirorunent."

Bernell Clifford, 17, said: "Itwas like being a family.... Someof the younger members. whomay have been a bit withdrawn atthe beginning, really opened upand enthusiastically participatedin the activities."

Mr. van der Byl was assisted byOwen Visagie, a minister in theCape Town church, and his wife,Lorraine. Four other staff mem­ber' assisted in organizing activi­ties that included softball, volley­ball, netball, soccer, swimming,hiking and an obstacle course.

"Being a small camp, we did ...everything together," said Mr. vander By!. ''The campers helped withmeal preparation and cleanup;wam and hiked together; and if not

able to participate in all the gamestogether, tood by and cheered oneanother on. This all contributed to asense of togetherness."

igeria

Sixty-two campers attended theNigerian SEP Dec. 18 to 30.

The campsite, owned by thechurch, is about 80 kilometers (50miles) from Jo , capital of PlateauState in central igeria.

Surrounding the campsite arethe rocky hills of the Plateau high­land and a series of lakes thatserve several tin mines and ahydroelectric plant, said campdirector Josef Forson, pastor ofthe Benin City, Enugu, Jos, Lagoand Owerri, igeria, churches.

Fifty-three of the campers werefrom the five igerian churches,and nine French-speaking youthscame from Cameroon.

Activities included lawn tennis,dres making for the girls, comput­er program application and mu ic.

"Many things are bound to gowrong in a pioneer camp like thisone, 80 kilometers from the near­est food market, telephone,potable water or steady electricitysupply:' said Mr. Forson.

"For example, bedding orderedand paid for weeks in advance didnot arrive till halfway through thecamp and the temperatures weresteadily dropping to well belowlevels Africans are used to. Andthe roofing, window and doorson dormitories were completedafter the campers moved in.

"Yet. in spite of the e obta­cles, most campers and taff aidthis wa a camp that in manyre pect will probably remain thebest in terms of the les onslearned and character devel-

Our hope is in Christ

During times of prolonged. tension and uncertainty, as weare now experiencing, we musttake extra care not to allow our­elves to lose ight of our foun­

dation and hope that are in JesusChrist.

Our calling is to do the will ofGod. We must never cease fromthat high vocation whether timesare good or times are bad. AsPeter wrote to the brethren dur­ing a time of crisis: "Therefore,prepare your minds for action;be self-controlled; set your hopefully on the grace to be givenyou when Jesus Christ isrevealed" (I Peter 1:13. ewInternational Version through­out).

I am thankful that God hasbrought us to the point that weno longer focus on such issuesas makeup, medical care andbirthdays as the measure ofChristianity.

or do we see every interna­tional development as a specif­ic. fulfilled prophecy, takingour attention off the real priori­ties Jesus gave his Church.Jesus said, "All men will knowthat you are my disciples, ifyou love one another" (John13:35). .

Can you imagine the spiritualgrowth that would take place inthe Body of Christ if all God'speople placed their emphasis onthat command instead of on flee­ing to a place of safety?

God has called us to do hiswill. not to shrink back in ner­vou anxiety waiting for the endof the world.

What is the will of God forus? That we love one another.That we preach the gospel. Thatwe make disciples of all nations,baptizing them in the name ofthe Father and the Son and theHoly Spirit. That we teach themto obey everything Jesus hascommanded us. That we be hiswitnesses.

Source of joy and hope

Our hope in Christ is thegreatest possible source of joyand hope. We live in earnestexpectation of his return, know­ing that he will bring our inheri­tance with him. But how are weto wait? Peter went on: "Asobedient children, do not con­form to the evil desires you hadwhen you lived in ignorance.But just as he who called you isholy, so be holy in all you do;for it is written; 'Be holy,because I am holy' ., (I PeterI: 14-16).

Part of Miss Reddaway'sresponsibilities include teachingEnglish to 50 radio and televisionemployees and helping to intro­duce the rest of the group toLeningrad.

Miss Reddaway plans to spendfree time doing doctoral research.

When Cliff and Simone Wor­thing graduated from AmbassadorCollege in 1989 they returned totheir native Australia. where Mr.Worthing worked in public rela­tions, and Mrs. Worthing workedas a journalist.

Mrs. Worthing began studyingRussian in 1982 and holds adegree in the language from Aus­tralian National University inCanberra. She taught Russian atAmbassador College while shewas a student and visited the Sovi­et nion twice as a tourist. Mr.Worthing's introduction to thelanguage came when he tooksome of the classes taught by hiswife-to-be.

Back in Australia, Mrs. Wor­thing began to pursue her master'sdegree in Russian, and Mr. Wor­thing also took Russian courses.

Before leaving for Leningradthe participants met with JohnHalford, who coordinated studentinvolvement in the first interna­tional Ambassador Foundationprojects, and Mr. Kubik.

Mr. Halford said preparationsfor the project reminded him of"sending the first group of tu­dents off to Thailand. Dr. [Her­man] Hoeh was talking with them.He ummed up their project bysaying they have an opportunity to

However. a U.S. commander ofthat guerrilla group advised themnot to execute Mr. Tamayao. In­stead. they took him to Major Don­ald Blackburn, regimental comman­der of guerrillas in that province.

Mr. Tamayao was allowed toserve under Major Blackburn untilthe end of the war. He helped bypolicing the kitchen and tookcharge of incoming upplies.

After war's end. in 1946. Mr.Tamayao enlisted in the regularmilitary service of the Philippinegovernment, and continued thereuntil his retirement as a secondlieutenant Oct. 7. 1962.

In these trying times, let'skeep our focus where it belongs.Let's pray for world leaders. andlet's remember the words ofPaul in I Thessalonians 5:8-9:"Since we belong to the day, letus be self-controlled, putting onfaith and love as a breastplate,and the hope of salvation as ahelmet.

At a meeting with the group, Mr.Halford stressed getting along as agroup and recognizing that they"will be under a much closerscrutiny than they have ever beenin their lives. The Russian willnotice everything. If there was evera time to apply everything they'velearned, this is the time to do it."

The group arrived in Leningradand was welcomed with a recep­tion, according to Mr. Kubik.

Mr. Kubik spoke with the pro­ducer at Radio and TelevisionLeningrad Jan. 31. He said shewas "thrilled by what she sawfrom our people.... She asked ifall our Church people are like theyare."

Mr. Tamayao was baptized inJune 1965 and his wife, Lourdes.in July of that same year.

Being a World War n veteran,he say he plans to become a U.S.citizen. an option for all FilipinoWorld War n veterans.

His wife died of an illne. s June10. 1986. He himself had beensuffering with tuberculosis of thebones in the spinal column, whichbecame cancerous. But he hasbeen healed of this affliction.
