these hundreds of thousands of NEW listeners are beginning to
become co-workers with us. OUR GREAT PROBLEM is to tide over, and
be able to stay on this great network, UNTIL enough new co-workers
from among these NEW listeners join us to pay this additional
expense. The indication is, based on what is already happening,
and on twenty years' experience, that by next November or December
we shall have emerged out of this temporary tight squeeze.
UNTIL THEN I SIMPLY HAVE TO ASK ALL YOU CO-WORKERS TO STAND
BY ME, WEEK BY WEEK, MONTH BY MONTH, MAKE EXTRA SACRIFICES, PRAY AS
NEVER BEFORE, that we may be able to survive this period.
The LAST HALF of every month is our real test. That's when
we receive only about HALF as much money as we have to pay out!
This work is A DIRECT FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY! It's GOD'S
work! We must keep on making every possible sacrifice for this
great dynamic, world-wide work of God for this time. Soon World
War III will explode. In the latest test-explosion of a hydrogen
bomb men were burned 30 miles away and sent to a hospital! It's
TERRIFYING! GOD'S work must be completed before this horrifying
thing breaks loose! We must finish the work while it is DAY--the
night is coming when no man can work in God's work!
The broadcast, and The PLAIN TRUTH, are literally shaking
Britain! You probably have no conception of the tremendous
influence this program, which is made possible by your dollars and
your PRAYERS, is having on our British cousins overseas!
Letters are pouring in by the hundreds! British leaders
tell me the effect of The WORLD TOMORROW on Britain is almost
beyond belief! They are being STIRRED more than you people in
America ever were!
So now look over my shoulder, as it were--here are just a
FEW of the thousands of letters:
From an official of a large British religious federation:
"Dear Brother in Israel: I was asked by a friend some time ago if
I ever listened to you on Radio Lux.; and when I did, I came to the
conclusion that you knew where modern Israel was, and the meaning
of these days. Your magazine, for which I sincerely thank you is
to hand today, and confirms what I thought. I have read it with
great appreciation. Those who know this truth (our identity is
ISRAEL) are VERY many today in these islands, and in the Common-
wealth. I would like to tell you for your encouragement that you
are listened to by many more people than your mail might indicate.
I have been amazed at the number of people who have told me they
listen to you regularly. May God's blessing rest on your witness."
From Cornwall, England: "Dear Mr. Armstrong: So many times
we have intended writing you regarding your Gospel broadcast over
Radio Luxembourg. Truly it is a very special time of spiritual
uplift. We do thank God that He has privileged us to be amongst
your vast audience to listen to your inspiring messages of the
Scriptures. I'm sure, too, that your ministry will be mightily used
to enlighten the intellectuals, because you can meet them on their
