million fanatical young Nazi troops, and with his engineers and
scientists still working on that new weapon, then as long as they
are there, WE COULD STILL LOSE THE WAR! We shall do well to
REMEMBER that!
These are the most TENSE days of earth's history. None can
understand these events unless he understands biblical PROPHECY,
knows GOD'S PLAN, and grasps the terrific significance of these
events in the fulfilling of that Plan! There is absolutely NOTHING
that will cause millions of worldly, un-Christian people to LISTEN
to Christ's Gospel Message, and heed it, like this present world-
crisis and its connection with God's PLAN, and with the BIBLE!
Do you know that the surveys to determine radio-interest,
and which programs are most listened-to, all show that ordinary
religious broadcasts are the LEAST listened-to of all radio
programs? Do you know that this is one reason it is becoming
almost impossible for religious programs to get on the air? And do
you know that these same nation-wide check-ups, questioning
millions of people to determine radio-interest, show that NEWS
ANALYSIS is the number 1 radio interest today---even topping such
fun programs as Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Charlie McCarthy, etc.?
That's why the nation's top news analysts all draw larger salaries
than the president of the United States. That's why I was
offered, some few months ago, $2,000 per week salary---$100,000 a
year---if I would give up the ministry and conduct a daily news--
analysis program over one of the great net-works for a nationally
known sponsor, analyzing the war news with a slight occasional
mention of prophecy, and BASED on my knowledge of prophecy, though
little could be said directly concerning it, or the Bible, in the
broadcasts. The offer, of course, was instantly turned down. God
has called me to a far more important mission than selling break-
fast food by a radio broadcast and earning a huge salary!
But He has called YOU, my dear Co-Workers, to this mission,
too. And so do you really GRASP just what this great war-crisis
MEANS?
It means that this is the most important hour of earth's
history so far as OPPORTUNITY for reaching multitudes with the
GOSPEL and Christ's last WARNING MESSAGE is concerned. As the war-
crisis grows intense, more and more people will listen to this kind
of broadcast. And THAT is why "The WORLD TOMORROW" program
analyzes today's news, with the PROPHECIES of The WORLD TOMORROW!
I wonder if you grasp that this type broadcast simply lifts
our program out of the ordinary religious-program class---the class
FEWEST people listen to of ALL radio programs, according to
absolute test---and instantly places our Gospel program at the VERY
TOP of the list, as one of the MOST-listened-to programs? Did you
really ever grasp this fact before? Did you ever realize that with
just SEVEN stations---all large, powerful, important stations,
however,---we have a listening audience, as indicated by the mail-
response, of between ONE MILLION and a million and a half listeners
every week?
Our vast listening audience has DOUBLED since last Fall.
