Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
GREETINGS! Here is the latest news in the fast-moving
progress of God's great Work--and the latest in plans for the
future at this moment.
I am writing from my study at Ambassador College in
England. This letter will be re-copied and mailed to you from
Headquarters at Pasadena, California, and from North Sydney,
N.S.W., Australia.
I have just returned from a long conference with our
British Advertising Agents in London. Right now momentous

German edition, 950,000 copies; Austria, 65,000 copies--total,
1,015,000 copies. This means actually between three million and
five million readers. THAT IS A LOT OF PEOPLE.

above most articles or advertisements in these magazines. The
subject matter published has been startling, interest-arousing,
thought-provoking. These two-page articles, published for some two
years now in the English and Australian and New Zealand editions,
have stimulated a TREMENDOUS mail response and request for The
Plain Truth, the Bible Correspondence Course and other literature.
Many lives have been changed--many actually CONVERTED, and brought

articles. The British edition reaches one OUT OF FIVE of the
entire population of these British Isles! This is a POWER!
For some two years The WORLD TOMORROW broadcast has been
thundered in tremendous power, twice a week, over Radio Luxembourg
on their GERMAN transmission, beamed on Germany, Austria, and
German-speaking countries. This is the most powerful radio station
on earth. Already the circulation of The Plain Truth in GERMANY--
the GERMAN edition of our magazine, published in the GERMAN
