In the world about us, events are drawing rapidly toward
the prophesied CLIMAX. Crime, violence are increasing as never
before! The WAR is stepping up bigger and bigger, gaining in fury.
More and more nations are producing NUCLEAR WEAPONS! Morals are
sinking deeper. Now NOTHING can save this world but the direct
SUPERNATURAL INTERVENTION OF JESUS CHRIST IN THE FULL POWER AND
GLORY OF ALMIGHTY GOD!
This very living CHRIST has drafted you and me--and we have
VOLUNTARILY accepted this most serious mission of human history--to
WARN this world--to PREPARE THE WAY for His coming! Yes, and to
PREPARE A PEOPLE--the VERY ELECT--for whose sake He will SAVE
humanity alive (Matthew 24:22).
Garner Ted Armstrong and I have collaborated in writing the
special new booklet I offered in the recent semiannual letter.
Three days ago we finally completed the writing of it. It is now
set to type, and page forms being made up, ready to go on the
press. I hope we shall be mailing out the copies of this
astonishing booklet within a week.
We feel you will find this perhaps the MOST IMPORTANT
BOOKLET, and the MOST INTERESTING, we have ever published. I'm
sure it will OPEN THE EYES of hundreds of thousands who will read
it. It will show you WHAT THE WORLD WILL BE LIKE, a few years
after Christ's RETURN--after GOD'S GOVERNMENT begins to rule all
nations--the entire EARTH! I know you'll simply MARVEL at the
picture. It's the picture of PEACE--of PLENTY--of HAPPINESS and
JOY! What a contrast from this world today!
But there is not time for more.
People are FORGETTING Christ--NEGLECTING Christ and HIS
WORK--frantically breaking all records in Christmas shopping--
EXCHANGING gifts among themselves--BUT NO GIFT FOR CHRIST!
WHAT A SHAME!
Letters are pouring in by multiple THOUSANDS every day, in
response to my semiannual letter, sent to about three-quarters of
a million people, offering this free booklet. The REASON for this
record-breaking influx of mail is, simply the unprecedented demand
for this new booklet. Most letters contain just the card
requesting the free booklet. No offerings or contributions--but,
of course, I DIDN'T ASK FOR ANY. We WANT to give this eye-opening,
surprising booklet FREE! We're thrilled and happy to BE ABLE to
give it FREE! And I know YOU, as a Co-Worker, are happy to help
make this possible, too!
But those of us who have VOLUNTARILY accepted Christ's
draft to labor WITH HIM must remember our serious responsibility,
or else we shall no longer be able to proclaim CHRIST'S MESSAGE
over the air to the many MILLIONS every week--world-wide--without
ever asking for contributions of the public--or to continue to
offer FREE literature, with no request for money.
Because the mails are clogged--because the situation is
