LANGUAGE, called die Reine Wahrheit--is 5,000 copies. Many in
Germany have been converted as a result of this powerful broadcast
and our literature. The WORK OF GOD in Germany has grown to the
point we can no longer handle the tremendous mail response from our
London Offices.
Consequently we are now OPENING OFFICES IN DUSSELDORF,
Germany, with a suite of 5 roomy offices to start--and 5 more
available as an addition when required. One of our German-born
students from Ambassador College, Pasadena, a married man with two
children, arrived here day before yesterday with his family, en
route to Dusseldorf to take charge of the office. This phase of
tho work will be directed from our London Office by Mr. Gerhard
Marx, also German born, and a graduate of Ambassador College. And
so now we are stepping up our SPIRITUAL GOSPEL OFFENSIVE on GERMANY
with two pages every issue in their edition of Reader's Digest! We
also have at last arranged for a post-office box number at
Dusseldorf. For the first time we have a local German mailing
address. Germans do not like to write to England, as we have had
to ask them to do, to receive God's literature. This local German
mailing address, and our offices and work directed there by native-
born Germans, now converted and trained at Ambassador College, is
expected to make a GREAT INCREASE in the number of German people
who will respond to the broadcast.
Just as I have been writing, suddenly, through the
loudspeaker in my study, came the announcer's voice, "The WORLD
TOMORROW!" followed by the voice of Garner Ted Armstrong. It was
exactly 7:00 P.M., Monday, June 18th. My son Ted's voice is, this
moment, coming in to my study from RADIO LUXEMBOURG over in Europe,
in GREAT POWER. I will stop and listen, as perhaps one to several
million other British people are doing this moment, to this
powerful program, now coming in at this MOST LISTENED-TO TIME,
between 7:00 and 7:30--and it is on at that same time every Monday
and Tuesday evenings. It comes in loud, firm, clear, and in POWER!
It is now 7:29, the final theme music is fading out, and
the announcer says, "THIS is RADIO LUXEMBOURG." Think or it! This
one station reaches the entire British nation on this English
transmission, beamed directly on England. The German transmission
is beamed the other way, on Germany and Austria. Twice weekly this
same super-power station, on its FRENCH band, beamed directly on
France, reaches that whole nation in POWER with The WORLD TOMORROW
in the French language! And, as I write, Mr Dibar Apartian (he is
the speaker on our FRENCH broadcast) and wife are probably at this
very moment tuning out from hearing this same program aboard the
great ship The United States, and excitedly seeing their first
glimpse of land in five days, as that giant ship steams to the west
of Cornwall, England, toward Le Havre, France. From there it will
steam into Southampton, England, where it is due to dock at 5:00
P.M. tomorrow.
Mr. Apartian, the "voice" of our French broadcast, over
both Radio Luxembourg and Radio Europe Number One, will spend the
summer in France, visiting and baptizing French people converted
through this powerful program. It is expected that he will open
offices in Paris, before returning to America. THEREFORE, it was
