advantage of prevailing winds, an enemy with just TWO of these
super-power bombs could make the entire United States
uninhabitable, by contaminating our entire area as winds sweep
radio-active air over the face of the land! It is as impossible to
destroy a bomb on its way to a target carried by a high-speed
missile as to destroy an artillery shell in flight! But it is
estimated it will take five more years to perfect those bomb-
carrying missiles, plus enough bombs, by some enemy nation. We
have that much time to PREPARE---yes, to prepare---FOR WHAT? THERE
IS NO DEFENSE! If the German V-2s had carried atomic bombs,
England would have been totally destroyed! In one night, ten
atomic bombs could destroy America's steel industry. Five more
could stop our oil production. Another five our coal production.
Thirteen bombs could destroy every great metropolitan and
manufacturing center in the United States. Our nation can be wiped
out IN ONE NIGHT! AND THERE IS NO DEFENSE! And ENEMIES WILL BE
READY IN FIVE YEARS!
And we sleep on, heedless, bent on pleasures and working
for a future that WILL NEVER COME! Co-Workers, THE ONLY THING THAT
IS IMPORTANT NOW IS TO SOUND GOD'S WARNING TO THIS NATION---TO
PREACH AND PUBLISH WITH GREAT POWER THE TRUE GOSPEL TO THE ENTIRE
WORLD BEFORE THIS ATOMIC-DAY COMES! Frankly, I do not believe it
will actually come in five years---but it COULD! But I do believe
we have not more than seven or nine years to finish the work God
has commissioned us to do! Just BARELY enough time, and NO MORE!
That is why AMBASSADOR COLLEGE had to start without a year's delay.
That's why God performed MIRACLES to open the way that it might
start. Sober, serious young men and women are being thoroughly
TRAINED to carry this work now INTO EVERY NATION. Every student,
by hard application, is proving to be an ALL-A student! Final
exams for the first semester are being held this week!
The true Gospel is going to the nation nightly and every
week-day morning. XEG has INCREASED its power. Letters are
POURING in---700 to 1,000 every day! Precious souls are being
converted. Lives are being CHANGED! Oh, how I wish you could read
the letters! Many hundreds appeal to me that God will HEAL them of
sicknesses, diseases and injuries, and scores are being healed.
Often I am called on to pray for 150 to 200 at a time! One letter
just received says: "Oh how I wish I could help you more in the
great work. You have been such a help to me. I know it was your
voice that made me wake up and take notice to God and His Word.
How I thank Him that I heard you that first time! I truly believe
God was calling me, through your voice, because it was the first
time I ever heard the Bible explained in its true meaning....I have
accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour and though I find it
quite hard at times, (there are so many temptation in the world
today) I also find it is the happiest and most important thing in
all the world living for God, and by god's laws and truths. Dear
Mr. Armstrong, you are called of God I know, because you preach the
Bible---what it says. God bless you. Please pray for me."

each evening. I enjoy it so much. My brother near---was listening
to your program one night and was reclaimed---had been backslidden
