Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
GREETINGS again from Pasadena! Time is flying! And to
carry on our part in God's Great Work it seems Mrs. Armstrong and
I have to keep flying also. Next week we shall have to leave
Pasadena again, returning to England for the opening of the fourth
year of Ambassador College over there.
This time we shall have to go by plane -- although Mrs.
Armstrong dreads flying. It doesn't seem possible that we are now
in the 17th year of Ambassador College here in Pasadena. Many of
our new students who have entered college this year were only two
years old when Ambassador College first swung open its doors in
1947. And here we are, almost a month into this 17th year already.
The college in England opens later than the one here --
usually around the middle of October in England. This makes it
possible for Mrs. Armstrong and me to be present at the opening of
both institutions every year.
Now let me tell you the NEWS. We have just had the
annual meeting of the Board of Trustees. In order to hold property
and conduct this Work it became necessary, many years ago before
the college started, to incorporate this Work. It was also
necessary to incorporate the College after it was founded.
Otherwise, of course, it could not hold property or confer degrees.
I was able to present to each Board a report of the
greatest year's growth and accomplishment of any previous year --
by far. God has blessed His Work abundantly. Our fiscal year, in
our business office, for keeping the records, ends each June 30th.
This past year more people heard Christ's Gospel over the air, and
read it in The PLAIN TRUTH, than ever before -- more than 22
million people every week!
More people have been converted and baptized -- now
living CHANGED LIVES -- than ever before -- many, many hundreds.
More qualified and fully trained, dedicated and consecrated
ministers were ordained than ever before -- to serve out in the
field -- around the world. Men have been sent to Australia, the
Philippines, Germany, Switzerland, South Africa, and are now
stationed there -- in addition to those stationed at various points
all over the United States. Some, graduated from the college in
