Dear Friends:
I have IMPORTANT NEWS for you! Very soon I hope to come
right into your home---on Television. The WORLD TOMORROW is now
going on TELEVISION!
I'm writing you this letter to ask you to help me in
planning, so we may select just the right TV station in your area.
We need to know, direct from our own interested listeners them-
selves, how far some stations reach, and which ones come in best
for you.
To make it easy and simple for you, I will attach a
questionnaire at the close or this letter, and I'm sure you'll be
glad to help me by merely filling in and mailing back to me in the
enclosed self-addressed reply envelope. No postage is necessary.
And now I want to tell you something of our Television
program. Television offers tremendous opportunities to really
PORTRAY the most important Message of this hour in a manner no
other medium has ever made possible. Television offers wonderful
opportunities for GOOD! But Television also brings into your home
A NEW TEMPTATION!
Television, of itself, is neither good nor bad. But it
is a very POWERFUL medium. And it can be put either to a good use,
or a very harmful use. As always, THE WORLD is putting it to an
injurious,--yes, even a dangerous, use!
God Almighty has allowed TV to come. Like radio, He
foresaw, long before we did, that Television could become the very
MEDIUM OF POWER to finish His work for this age thru His servants.
But also it places before YOU a serious temptation. If you have a
TV set, its possession brings into your home the serious
RESPONSIBILITY of using intelligence and SELF-DISCIPLINE and WILL
to let it be used only beneficially, for yourself and your
children. It can bring to you a valuable facility, or a curse!
But God has commissioned us to go INTO ALL THE WORLD,
with Christ's GOSPEL. Christ commissions us to go TO the people.
We have to go to the people where the people are. The people are
sitting before TV sets! So we are coming TO the people with HIS
GOSPEL, thru their TV sets!
