that purpose. WHAT are the true values in life? WHAT is the way
to peace, universal abundance and happiness? Those are the BASIC
THINGS we need to know! Those are the NECESSARY things to know
which man, science, technology CANNOT DISCOVER! Those are the
things THE BIBLE REVEALS."
Then I covered the incident of the "forbidden fruit" --
how our first parents rejected God's revealed knowledge, which He
had started teaching them -- how mankind cut himself off from his
MAKER, and has turned to imaginary and false gods, how man ever
since has tried to REASON OUT what is good and what is evil --
what to do and how to do it -- and has brought on humanity this
colossal tragic mountain of human woes and anguish! Then I
explained GOD'S WAY of life -- the way of "GIVE" -- of love which
is outgoing concern for the good of others -- of cooperation,
instead of competition, strife and violence -- because mankind has

of that disobedience, and faith which is to BELIEVE GOD and HIS
WORD, can be reconciled to God and receive eternal life." Then I
explained how "Christ is coming again as the divine Messiah in
supernatural power to RULE ALL NATIONS, and lead nations in GOD'S
WAY, which will bring world PEACE, abundance, happiness, and
ETERNAL LIFE as God's Gift."

WORLD! I had important personal meetings with President Franjieh
(several hours with lunch), the Prime Minister (we talked for an
hour and ten minutes), the Foreign Minister, and the Minister of
Education.
It was a MOST SUCCESSFUL and profitable beginning -- and
this time from the TOP -- for getting the Gospel Message THEY HAVE
NEVER HEARD to the entire ARAB WORLD of many nations.
Let me brief you a bit on HOW THESE IMPORTANT MEETINGS CAME
ABOUT.
It began in 1967. We had been negotiating with the
Jordanian government about purchasing time on JERUSALEM RADIO (the
Old City of Jerusalem was part of Jordan then). King Hussein
wanted to increase the power of that station to a MILLION WATTS,
equal to the power of Nasser's station at Cairo. A four-year
contract had been negotiated, the cost of which would finance the
new equipment to provide that tremendous power. It would be a
great thing to put The WORLD TOMORROW program on so much power in
the Middle East.
It was the very next morning after the funeral and burial
