Dear Co-Workers:
In Jesus' name, GREETINGS! I have certainly had my eyes
opened these past few weeks! We all need to WAKE UP!
We are in a time of DANGER! You are in danger! Our nation
is in grave danger! God's great and precious work is in terrible
DANGER---unless a very large number of you Co-Workers who have been
indifferent or neglectful of GOD'S WORK are reawakened!
LISTEN! Now there are weapons "which can lay waste an
entire CONTINENT!" That is the official disclosure of the
Secretary of the United States Air Force, speaking for the
President! That is on highest authority.
Did that sink into your mind? Read that again: THERE ARE
NOW WEAPONS WHICH CAN LAY WASTE AN ENTIRE CONTINENT! Not just a
city. Not just a whole nation---but AN ENTIRE CONTINENT.
The whole world was STUNNED in 1945 when it was disclosed
that one single bomb---an ATOMIC bomb---had destroyed one entire
city, Hiroshima, Japan. Soon we learned that RUSSIA also had the
atomic bomb. In February, 1950, we published this startling
headline in The PLAIN TRUTH: "And now . . . The HYDROGEN BOMB!"
But we are getting used to it. WE were no longer shocked by such
terrifying news. By 1953 the world slept on without much concern
when the news came of the first experimental explosion, in the far
Pacific, of a HYDROGEN bomb. Again in 1954 hydrogen bombs were
exploded in experimental tests that proved to be a thousand times
more powerful than the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. But we were now FAST ASLEEP. EVEN the news that RUSSIA
now has the HYDROGEN bomb---one of which could VAPORIZE Baltimore,
and virtually destroy both Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia does
not shock us! Read what Jesus Christ said---Matt. 13:15, and Acts
28:27. Are you going to permit this to happen to you?
Now it is officially disclosed that THE ENTIRE NORTH
AMERICAN CONTINENT can be laid waste in one night. That's what the
Secretary of the Air Force said!
Are you past being shocked? Our whole CONTINENT, including
Mexico and Canada, CAN BE DEVASTATED IN ONE NIGHT! That means that
YOU and your children, your family, are in grave danger of being
destroyed before you have any warning!
