British Family Report for November 1972

As we prepare for Children’s Day we send our deepest love to Our Father and Mother and all our brothers and sisters in our homeland. This month has continued with our usual program of heavy witnessing and we have increased our public speaking. This last month I gave public lectures in Plymouth, Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham and Liverpool. In addition in London I was able to address a meeting of the Mother’s Union — an Anglican Church organization covering the entire country. I spoke at this meeting to well over 100 branch representatives. Next month we have organized a schedule of speaking and we are beginning to bring in more seeds this way. Our new printing machine enables us to print out our own posters and we advertise widely.

Our printing department has been busy keeping up with our fifteen teams and we have installed an auxiliary generator capable of supplying electricity in the event of strikes etc. With communist agitation strong in the electrical industries we wanted to safeguard production of the Word. In addition we have begun candle selling and indeed this may well turn into a good means of raising money and also witnessing.

Although we have many new faces, Satan has been very active. However we have been continuing to push out. In the North of Scotland, at Inverness the Samson Team had a very successful two-day campaign. The winter is beginning to set in and the care and attention with which Samson was fitted out is beginning to be appreciated by team members. In all over 180,000 persons read of or heard lectures on Divine Principle and Our Leader this month. In addition an unknown number of persons heard mention of

our Father on local radio stations and through local papers. The Final Battle for a Heavenly Britain is being fought. The Unification Church is proud to lead in that battle.

Members Lead in the Campaign against Violence

For the past three years the Federation for World Peace and Unification has led in the campaign to preserve the Friendly Bobby — the British Policeman. The Communists have run a campaign to degenerate this fine force and alienate the British public for some years now. With the increasing trend of violence, much of it imported in American films, the unarmed friendly Bobby has been hard pressed to preserve the peace, without resorting to fear and physical intimidation by the use of guns.

Hence it is crucial for us to preserve a peaceful country if we are to think seriously of building a Heavenly Land, a God centered land. Over the last three years we have quietly but with great effect been putting pressure on the government.

Just recently more eminent and well experienced police officers resigned owing to the failure of the Home Office to offer any form of constructive policy to thwart violence. The Federation therefore campaigned at Blackpool at the Conservative party conference and pamphleteered all members of parliament and delegates. For the second year running our members had a very warm reception. With the introduction of a new Home Secretary we wanted to make sure that he knew what we would expect of him. The mounting communist subversion, liked together with an overall rise of violence can only be countered by the most resolute of men.

The conference held in mid-October supported our resolve. The prime Minister spoke of aspects of our heritage that we have neglected. The new Home Secretary announced a searching review of crimes of violence and has asked all Chief Constables to draw up reports for him. The Solicitor General suggested in a public speech that more organizations should support the police. The Federation whilst not seeking publicity r but seeking instead to reach those who make decisions, continues to do a most valuable work. The campaign was carried out by Lancashire members, with great success, and planned by the Federation’s Director of Research, Dennis F. Orme.
