points of view. They are learning HOW we can preach to those
people SO AS TO REALLY REACH THEM. They find that the few other
radio preachers or large church denominations that have already
used this great radio facility over there have not known HOW to
talk to Europeans. They have made blunders, said the wrong thing,
offended the people in many cases so they refuse to listen. God
has blessed us with the "KNOW-HOW." When we go on Radio Luxembourg
it will be with a program that will, first, AROUSE TREMENDOUS WIDE-
SPREAD INTEREST, and second, without offending or antagonizing the
people. TELL THEM THE TRUTH which they have never heard before.
The men we have sent there have been first educated for
their job. They speak several languages FLUENTLY, without foreign
accentÄÄÄjust like the people thereÄÄÄFrench, German, Spanish. In
many cases in France the people did not know my son Dick was an
American, accepted him as a Frenchman, and opened up and gave him
the information he was after. Now, in Germany, Herman Hoeh has the
same advantage, for he is of German blood and ancestry, and has
spoken German in his own home from a child. Our men can go where
ordinary American news correspondents cannot go. They are getting
news and significant facts for broadcasts and articles which
ordinary news correspondents NEVER GET.
I know you've already been hearing their interest-packed,

articles in The PLAIN TRUTH, and will in coming issues of The GOOD
NEWS.
These men will speak over Radio Luxembourg in French,
German, and Spanish, and I will speak in English. With these four
languages, we can be understood by the vast majority of all the
peoples of the many nations of Europe!
Brethren! CO-WORKERS! Do you realize what this means?
Do you grasp what is happening? Do you begin to see that
Ambassador College has been training men God has called to the
greatest, most powerful, most far-reaching ministry of all world
history? This thing is TREMENDOUS!
It is something only GOD could have brought about. We
are mere instruments yielded to Him, being used of Him!
GLADEWATER, TEXAS, PROJECT: Now about the Gladewater,
Texas project. I was held at Gladewater nearly three weeks. We
ran into many obstacles and provoking, patience-trying
difficulties. We had about given up ever being able to purchase
these two adjoining tracts of land at any price that wasn't
absolutely prohibitive. Then, finally at the last moment, we
suddenly found we were able to purchase BOTH those tracts, without
the houses we did not need up on the highway, for less than HALF of
the price we had agreed to six weeks beforeÄ-Äbefore these owners
started going back on their word and raising their prices
exorbitantly.
So, suddenly, the two deals were closed. We now have the
deeds. I was finally able to pay cash in full on the spot for both
