Dear Co-Workers with CHRIST:
I want to report BIG NEWS!!! It is the BIGGEST news that ever
happened in the history of this Work! Later on, after the World
Tomorrow has dawned, the world may look back on this event as a big
milestone in world history!
The world today took no notice whatever. Yet in our radio
studio here in Pasadena, a spontaneous SHOUT reverberated from an
assembled thirty or forty people crowded into the studio. And we
heard at the precise same instant -- via trans-Atlantic telephone
connection -- a sudden even louder shout emanating from some 200
people gathered into the radio studio of our college in England and
in the college dining hall there.
For ten minutes the two radio studios had been connected by
telephone. In both studios we had been waiting tensely for the
event that happened. We had compared clocks. We were only 5
seconds apart -- except that it was 7:00 P.M. in England, and 11:00
A.M. in Pasadena.
Just now, as I picked up paper to write this letter, I
happened to pull out of a file a letter which I wrote from London,
June 6, 1956, to our staff in Pasadena. That letter had direct
connection with this BIG NEWS which happened a week ago Tuesday --
on January 5, 1965. It said:
"We've been so busy since returning to London, I have not
until now gotten around to writing. Our problem in developing the
Work of God over here is this: finding a medium, or media, for
reaching the people of Britain DAILY. A once-a-week broadcast,
ending at midnight (as we then had on Radio Luxembourg), is too
late for more than a very few to listen regularly every week. And
we've learned that once a week is not enough. There is no
possibility, presently in sight, for daily radio TV, or any other
mass media."
That was 8 1/2 years ago. The months and the years rolled by.
There was NO WAY opening to reach the people of Britain DAILY. A
second half-hour opened on Radio Luxembourg -- but it was too late
at night, and listening reception in the British Isles was too weak
and spotty to give us real coverage. Some two years ago, Radio
Luxembourg switched our time to 6:00 P.M. -- because listening
