Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
Faster and Faster world events are hurling us toward the END
OF THE WORLD! Of course we're being plunged, also, toward the
happy WORLD TOMORROW!
Since last I wrote you, the United States has caught up with
and passed Russia in the SPACE RACE. Until now, Russia had the BIG
boosters for spacecraft -- the United States didn't. Now the U.S.
has shot into orbit a super spacecraft bigger than anything Russia
has. The United States also has hit the moon.
You and I have been called, as Co-Workers with Christ, to the
most important mission on earth today -- far, far more important
than the mission of another institution, right here in Pasadena,
working feverishly on this conquest of outer space. I refer to one
of America's two great scientific technological institutions,
Caltech.
Much of the government's space project is being worked out at
what is locally called the JPL -- Caltech's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory. It is built and financed largely by government money.
The President of Caltech lives only three doors from Mrs. Armstrong
and me -- but we don't know one another. Our spheres of interest
run in opposite directions. In fact, the present expansion program
of Caltech is going to take our home away from us, and we expect to
be paid only half of what its value should be.
Great sacrifices are being made by many, that this scientific-
technological project of conquering outer space may go on!
BILLIONS of tax dollars are being spent on it. But what of the
WORK OF GOD? It, too, is expanding, and plunging forward at
constantly accelerating momentum.
For a year, now, we have been in what I have called our
"austere year." That is, we have curtailed every possible
expenditure we could, without slowing up the progress of the work.
We had to get GOD'S WORK into a better financial condition. We
were running behind. The expenditures for constantly increasing
power of the WORK was always one to three months ahead of income to
pay for it.
That condition simply could not go on. For the first time
