Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
This is my first letter to you in this new decade. We have
entered the 1960s. I wonder if you realize what frightful
happenings are going to affect your life during the 1960s!!
YOU, with me, and with Christ, are very specially concerned.
God has placed a VERY SPECIAL RESPONSIBILITY on our shoulders for
this decade. You and I have been called to the most gigantic
mission of all history.
LOOK at this situation! LOOK at what will happen--and what
we have to do! While most people are becoming more calloused,
indifferent and heedless to the terrifying situation we all face--
while most people are too wrapped up in their own personal problems
and interests and enjoyments to heed--this world has now entered
its most violent and disastrous ten years since mankind was placed
on earth!
LISTEN to what President Eisenhower, scientists, and leaders
say--and then listen to the stark TRUTH of what we are called to
DO!

said President Eisenhower in his State of the Union Message,
January 7, speaking of the FACT that we live in a divided world,
approaching mutual annihilation. He continued: "It colors every-
thing we say, plan or do...We stand in the vestibule of a vast new
technological age (with the) capacity for human destruction."
Scientists say our ONLY HOPE is WORLD GOVERNMENT with power
to enforce world law and world peace. But this is not even a
hope--it is an utter impossibility. "'World peace through law,'"
said a Los Angeles Times editorial, January 4, 1960, "....is too
visionary and illusive to represent a workable idea. World
government and enforceable world law are unreal slogans in an age
when East and West are separated by insurmountable barriers of
thought."
RUSSIA now has the frightful weapons that could lay waste the
entire North American Continent--or the entire United Kingdom--or
both. ONE MAN--Khrushchev--has power to order it. CAN YOU TRUST
KHRUSHCHEV WITH YOUR LIFE? Listen to what leading scientists and
