-- perhaps the seller didn't know, for it was obscured from sight
by the weeds -- but this low price included FOUR outstandingly
beautiful gardens -- a formal garden in front, a large rose garden,
a very fine Japanese garden with brook running through, and an
English sunken garden. All for a mere 8,000 pounds. In Pasadena
to expand our College ground, we had to pay more than that for a
worn-out little five-room house, on a 40 ft. wide lot and only 75
ft. of depth!
But not a penny of that 8,000 pounds came from British people.
It was purchased with dollars from America! Now is it a sin or a
crime if it happened to be a really nice building? To what USE are
we putting it? To EDUCATING and BUILDING HIGH UP-
STANDING CHARACTER and GOOD CITIZENSHIP in young men and women. In
teaching them to lead successful, happy useful lives and to become
GOOD NEIGHBOURS. Is that BAD?
But why say more? I don't think our readers are going to
believe false inferences and accusations, anyway. There was, of
course, the inference that we preach "hellfire and brimstone." --
and if you have listened to The WORLD TOMORROW for any length of
time, or read The PLAIN TRUTH long, YOU KNOW that that is another
UNTRUTH! Also we are supposed to proclaim "world tomorrow" which
is a hell-on-earth, with atomic bombings, earthquakes and plagues.
WHAT an UNTRUTH!
We preach a WORLD TOMORROW of world peace, universal
HAPPINESS, prosperity, good health and JOY! Jesus Christ is coming
to bring it about! AND THAT IS GOOD NEWS!
That's what we preach! We always say "DON'T believe us,
because we say it -- but first PROVE to yourself the authority of
the Bible, then listen without prejudice, and believe it when you
see it plainly in your Bible!" Would you believe Jesus Christ if
He were here in person today? We preach what He preached!
This has been a frank, straightforward statement of what we
are, who we are, what we are doing, and how we are financed. If
you have more questions, COME TO THE SOURCE -- ask us -- we will
tell you the TRUTH.
And now not ONE PENNY of the money contributed by British
people goes to any American on our staff, not even to purchase
English properties for this College. Ambassador College is not an
American College -- but it is nearly altogether supported by
dollars from America. About 80 per cent of the funds required to
carry on this Work in Britain is supplied from the United States.
ALL British contributions stay in Britain, and go to proclaim the
Gospel of the living CHRIST IN BRITAIN!
And please understand -- THIS IS EMPHATICALLY NOT intended as
a request or appeal for contributions in any way. It is merely a
plain and straightforward EXPLANATION. Of course, to those who do
voluntarily of their own accord, desire to become a Co-Worker for
the support of this Work, we do on occasion, make financial needs
known -- but that is just to our inner family of Co-Workers. NEVER
do we ask the public for contributions. NEVER do we put a price on
