their Saviour instead of as an ex ample to follow and surpass.” This gives one an idea of the extent of the rejection of the Gospel implied. The ad begins with a declaration: “ This planet was created by God, with assistance of Mother Nature and other helpers. Some of us must serve as co-creators, to bring this planet to a higher state of per fection.” The headline for the ad is BARRAGE OF POPES which he explains: “ Let there be a barrage of popes. Never before in the his tory of this planet has there ap peared a spectacle of magnitude or intensity near that which is soon to occur: Divine Intervention is En- route!” The changes in the stock market are mentioned and a pre diction made that in LaS Vegas on July 18-20 the Lord will turn on “ the gaming tables as never be fore,” and it is claimed: “ In due time we shall introduce God’s meth ods for healing ‘incurable’ illness; we shall lead our members away from poverty and inflation and op pression and war." Then the pur pose of the ad is stated: “ We are establishing (3) new re lig io n s , which offer services at home in an effort to guide decent people to an uplifting of their mental, physical, spiritual and financial condition. For members only, we shall gradu ally eliminate war and crime and oppression and poverty and dis ease.” The Three Popes are then described, with accompanying pho tos: “ Herman Rief, Pope of the Church of the Rejuvenation; Sab- bath, Fri. noon to Sat. noon; Mot to: First we must rejuvenate our selves, then our friends; then this Godforsaken nation; and finally, this entire planet. Amen, Selah, and Hallelujah” ; Charlie Williams, Pope of the Cactus Church; Sabbath, Sunday; Motto: “ Don’t bother us and we won’t bother you as us learns to do greater things than Jesus did” ; Imeh Emmanuel, Pope Neoplatonic Church of Religious Science; Sabbath: Sat. noon to Sun. noon; Motto . . . “ We must strive for HARMONY (which is of God) instead of Peace (which is of man)."
