Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
GREETINGS from Australia: Mrs. Armstrong and I are visiting
our offices here in Sydney, Australia -- "down under," on the other
side of the world where the sun circles around the NORTH on its way
to setting in the west.
God's Work is BOOMING here in Australia. It is my wife's
first visit here, and my first since October, 1960 -- five-and-
one-half years ago. The Work has grown TREMENDOUSLY since then.
We have an office staff of thirty-five here in the MLC Building,
beside a new two-story printing plant of our own, where we now
print the Australian edition of The PLAIN TRUTH. The PLAIN TRUTH
printed here is identical to the United States' edition, except for
the return mailing address on the back cover.
It has been a tremendous inspiration to Mrs. Armstrong and
me to see God's Work BOOMING in rapid growth down here in
Australia. While here, I have had conferences with radio station
officials in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, and we leave in ten
minutes for the airport, flying today to Brisbane. These and other
business conferences are resulting in stepping up our program for
reaching the people of Australia and New Zealand with Christ's own
Gospel. Additional radio coverage is opening up. Also
arrangements are under way for the purchasing of full-page
advertising space in national magazines and metropolitan
newspapers. These will carry Christ's dynamic Message to hundreds
of thousands, and millions, in print.
Many hundreds have been really converted -- their lives
turned around and CHANGED -- since I was here last. God is doing
a big work here in Australia. WHAT AN INSPIRATION it is to realize
that the WORLD TOMORROW is heard all over the world.
Let me tell you a rather exciting experience. When I was
here in October, 1960, our local manager, a radio station official
and I were walking on a wharf to board a ferry when suddenly I
heard a sharp, deep bass voice from behind say: "Are you Herbert
W. Armstrong?" Turning, I saw a tall policeman. How did he know
ny name, way down here in Sydney, Australia? Had I done something
wrong?
"Well, I want to shake your hand " he said, reaching out
