This will be a striking, startling, DARING article!
But we do DARE to proclaim the plain TRUTH! We are not
muzzled! Hundreds of you have been asking about this race
question. Well, we are now giving you THE ANSWERS as no one else
has given them since the founding of this world!
Now just a brief bit of personal news. I have just
returned from two days at Geneva, Switzerland, laying plans for the
opening of our new offices there, leaving purchase orders for
office furniture and equipment. God has opened to us a suite of
five bright, airy, sun-lit offices in a new, modern aluminum-and-
glass office building--one of the largest in Switzerland--just
being constructed. The building is not yet finished, but they
expect to have our offices ready for occupancy by November 1st.
When I arrived, last evening, at London Airport, Mrs.
Armstrong was there to meet me--rather sad and lonely, because it
was the fifth anniversary of the death of our son Richard David
(Dick). A mother just cannot avoid remembering and thinking
about such a loss. It has taken much of the previous annual joy
out of our wedding anniversaries--today is our 46th.
You probably know that our magnificent main building at
the college here in_England is named Richard David Armstrong
MEMORIAL HALL, to honor and perpetuate the memory of our son, who
had become one of God's most fruitful, effective, helpful and high
ranking ministers. But we are thankful beyond words that God gave
us a second son, Garner Ted, and for the POWER of his ministry, and
the spirit of love, dedication, wisdom, understanding, humility and
zeal God has endowed him with. We know God is using him to bless
MILLIONS in all parts of the world. WHAT A PRIVILEGE to have the
part God allows us, IN HIS WORK! WHAT A PRIVILEGE God has granted
YOU, as Co-Workers with Christ and with us, in THE VERY WORK OF
GOD! Mrs. Armstrong and I are grateful beyond words.
Our son Dick, as many of you know, left a little 2 1/2-
month old son, our little Dicky, named after his father. A little
over two years ago his mother married Benjamin Chapman, a former
graduate of the University of California at Los Angeles-(U.C.L.A.),
and who subsequently graduated a year ago from Ambassador College
here in England, and was ordained to Christ's ministry a little
over a month ago. Mrs. Armstrong and I felt we could not give up
Lois as our daughter, so we have "adopted" (in our love and
affection, not legally) her husband Mr. Chapman.
In ten days we are sailing back to America. The
Chapmans, including their new little daughter Carolyn Gayle, and
with young Richard David Armstrong, now past five years of age,
will accompany us. Mr. Chapman established our radio studio here,
and has been director of it. He majored in electronics at
U.C.L.A., and was employed as an electronics technician for two
years after receiving his degree there, before coming to
Ambassador. But in the past two years here, he has devoted his
time mostly to the active ministry--counselling, baptizing, and
preaching. Both he and Lois have been here for three years, so
