"The WORLD TOMORROW"
A NATION-WIDE BROADCAST
HERBERT W. ARMSTRONG
Analyses Today's News, with the
Prophecies of THE WORLD TOMORROW
Box 111, Pasadena, California
June 10, 1948
Dear Friends and Co-Workers:
GREETINGS! I have but little space to tell MUCH! Here is
the June number of The PLAIN TRUTH! I hope you like it.
Conditions and trends in this world are not pleasant to
contemplate. But we are commanded to WATCH, and pray always, that
we may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall
come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man when Jesus
appears. It is vital that we understand both prophecy and world
developments.
Definite plans are laid to publish The PLAIN TRUTH regularly
every month at last. But how the devil has fought to prevent this!
He is wroth with this vital work of God. He knows he has but a
short time. He does not want the people warned. He does not want
the true Gospel Christ brought and preached---the GOOD NEWS of His
KINGDOM---proclaimed in all the world as a witness. But Christ
says it shall be so proclaimed. He is delivering us from every
thrust and attack of Satan! If we understand prophecy, we know we
have a few more years, probably eight or ten---to complete the
tremendous work to which God has called us. The events against
which we must warn the people will take a few brief years to work
out. We do have time, but NO TIME TO LOSE! We must be up and
about our Father's business with greater zeal than ever!
Ambassador College has completed successfully its first
difficult year. God has opened WONDERFUL opportunities for the
second year, beginning September 12. We have now undoubtedly the
best course in radio broadcasting in the nation. New housing, to
be constructed this summer adjoining the campus and leased by us,
is opening to provide adequate dormitory space for students. The
1948-49 college catalog is ready for prospective students.
We have weathered a terrible ordeal, since last August. In
March, just when we were two-thirds out of debt, we were thrown off
the air on our two great super-power stations. This proved a more
severe blow than the unexpected building reconstruction we were
forced into. But now WE ARE BACK ON THE AIR AGAIN---only, at my
request, we are to broadcast SUNDAY NIGHTS ONLY on XEG and XERB
(and same time as always on other stations) until July 11th, WHEN
WE GO BACK ON XEG FULL TIME AGAIN---at 8 every night except
Saturday, and 5:30 every week-day morning, Central time. This will
allow me an imperative three or four weeks' period of fasting and
prayer and rest. I have had to carry such a crushing load, under
such terrific strain, losing much sleep, that I am simply TIRED of
body and mind. I must be FIT, rejuvenated physically, keen and
