"Yet, the famous painti ng wouldce rtai nly add a great deal to ourstudy. So, on with th e search.

Aft er th e Feast , for a Plain Truthart icle , the Stumps studied first­hand centuries-old evidenc e prov­ing the descent of the Germans fromthe ancient Assyrian s.

"They were su rp rised at whatonly he, as the leade r of Th ai Bud­dhi sm. could have said."

Besides, Mr . Str auss will have nolot with the mor e liberal Free Dem­ocra ts. Th ey ran agains t him on ananti -Strauss plank in 1980. T heydr ained abou t a half million votesaway from him, assurin g his defeat.

Mr . S tr auss seems to sense thathis time is inevitably coming - atime when economic and socia l con­dit ions will be so severe in WestGermany that the Ger ma n peoplewill finally turn to him for thedyn am ic leader ship that will berequired .

In two state elections, voters havepunished the FDP for boltin g theformer federal government to joinup with the CDU/CSU . B e FDPcould disappear as a force on thenational level, leaving a vacuum inth e center, dang erou sly polari zin gWest Germany left and rig ht.

.Second , the Social Democrats willmove further to the left where formerChancellor Willy Brandt feels its trueconstituency now lies. Mr. Brandtwould like to cor ral many of the so-­called Greens - youthful environ­mentalists and ant inuclear act ivists- back into the fold.

Deposed SPD C hancellor Hel­mut Schmidt, however , believes thiswould be a big mistake, that theaverage blue coila rSPD voter woulddefect to the C DU.

When he arrived at the LosAngeles airport he discovered mostof his clothes were in the Japan ­bound bag. Th e bag arrived threedays later . but Mr . Hans on spentseveral days in the Editorial Ser­vices Office in somewhat casu alatt ire. He's fortunate I had not yetreturned from the Feas t.

Fatherless and widows

Plain Truth researcher Dan Tay­lor learned a lesson when he and afriend took a woman and her threechild ren to a youth day acti vity inTuc son, Ariz .

"This woman and her husband, aformer member, are separated , andI could tell th at she and her childrenreally missed family act ivities with­out him:'

Mr . Taylor soon reali zed by tak­ing them tothe act ivity he was doinghimself a favor .

"When I saw the looks on thosekids' faces as they played videogames or miniature golf, I realizedtha t I had been able to do somethingfor those children that I had alwa yswanted someone to do for me.

" You see, my paren ts divorcedwhen I was 6 years old and I nevereven had a surrogate father aroundto take me places and do things with .And I knew the pain th ose childrenfelt when they saw other childrenwith both parents doing thingstogether, knowing that the ir dadwasn't there, though he could havebeen .

"It 's funny how the ir joy rubbedoff on me. By looking out for thewidows and the fatherless, as God 'sWord tell s us to do, I had more funthan anyone could have imagined.It 's funny how God the Fatherworks things out that way."
