SHORT TIME. It will fight CHRIST at His return to earth in power
and glory. That will be its end. All this warns us most solemnly
WE ARE NOW VERY NEAR THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST!
Changes MUST take place in European and other world
governments, before the climax of these events. Those changes are
NOW BEGINNING TO HAPPEN! Since my last letter to you, Mr. Adenauer
has stepped down in Germany. He is now replaced by the man I could
foresee, five years ago, would replace him--Mr. Ludwig Erhard--the
man who restored Germany to such sudden and overwhelming
PROSPERITY. However, I expect one more change in Germany.
Here in Britain, Mr. Macmillan has stepped down, and Lord
Home (pronounced "Hume") is the new Prime Minister. This may
foreshadow a return to a labor government in Britain next year.
But IS GOD'S WORK keeping pace with world events? INDEED
IT IS! God Almighty is moving this--HIS Work--forward at ever-
increasing momentum. We may now have only eight or nine more years
to FINISH His Work! All around the world, this Work is growing,
expanding in POWER and scope.
Last week our advertising agent, financial and legal
advisor, and I were in Paris and Geneva, developing what I hope
will be the greatest leap ahead in broadcasting ever taken by us--
and probably by any radio program in history. I can't announce it
yet. Progress is encouraging.
Our "austere year" is progressing in VERY satisfactory
manner. We are not slowing the forward progress of the Work--but
we are getting the Work into a much improved financial state.
Here in England, the college is now using the new student
Dining Hall, just completed as the school year was starting. This
beautiful Dining Hall is merely the old cow-milking barns and
electric power plant for the estate, converted into Girls'
Dormitory and the Dining Hall.
However, the most pressing need is for the new Dining
Hall for the Pasadena college. There we cannot simply convert an
already-built building to a different use, but must construct an
entire wholly new building. And it must be twice as large as
this one in England. Architects are at work on preliminary plans,
however.
Two of our men are now getting established in Geneva,
opening the new offices there for the French-language work. One is
a graduate of Ambassador College here in England--a married man
with one child--and the other is a man who has been converted as a
result of the French-language broadcast of The WORLD TOMORROW--
called, in French, "Le Monde a Venir." He has resigned his
position as sales manager for Volkswagen in Paris to join our staff
in the new Geneva office. There were certain legal procedures it
was necessary for us to attend to on this trip, before our men
there could be given permission to work.
God's Work is speeding up in every department, all around the
