hop over to Hong Kong -- our only chance to see a bit of China.
Hong Kong, as you know, is not part of Communist China, but is
under the British. I would like to fly a little farther north, to
Formosa, Nationalist China, to see Chiang Kai-shek and his
Christian-professing wife. For several years we have broadcast The
WORLD TOMORROW over Chiang Kai-shek's powerful Network, Radio
Taiwan, at 6:00 P.M. every Wednesday and Friday. However I feel
that adding that amount of extra flight-mileage would be too
strenuous for Mrs. Armstrong. So we shall board a big jet at Hong
Kong, after a two-day rest there, bound for London. One of the
regular fuel stops is Tel Aviv, Israel, and our schedule provides
for stopping off there.
We are looking forward to about another week in Palestine.
We did visit Palestine in 1956, ten years ago. Our son, Garner Ted
and wife, along with Mr. Norman Smith, Director of our radio
studios and all our recording operations for the broadcast, with
his wife, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hunting of Ambassador College in
England, will fly from London and meet us there. From there we
shall fly straight on to London, and Ambassador College in England.
Today it is necessary to send men on our staff to all parts
of the world -- to WATCH -- to get the inside of the news, and the
news behind the news, firsthand. This long trip around the world
is going to be very tiresome, especially on Mrs. Armstrong. It is
not a pleasure trip. But it seems necessary at this time. All
this is contributing toward speeding up the coming of the Kingdom
of God and the happier WORLD TOMORROW.
This broadcasting and publishing work has become a very
large world-wide operation. At Pasadena Headquarters we receive
the regular news continually over the teletype, the same as
newspapers and radio stations do. But that is not enough.
And by the way, many of our Co-Workers do assist us in
gathering and compiling the news of conditions fulfilling prophecy.
If something of importance -- perhaps severe drought, or floods, or
tornado or hurricane, or other important event occurs in your
locality, why not write a description of it -- or send your local
newspaper story on it, to the Ambassador College News Bureau, here
at Pasadena. You just might hear your own news reporting being
broadcast on The WORLD TOMORROW program a few days later. Our
Co-Workers can help in this way. Many already do.
We are having an entire new experience in printing The PLAIN
TRUTH in full color now. We find that we are doing what has been
considered THE IMPOSSIBLE by large picture magazines. At Cape
Kennedy at the Gemini 8 blast-offs, our men were in contact and
conversation with the photographers from the largest news and
picture magazines. They could not believe we were planning to use
the color photos our men were shooting in our April edition to be
off the press by March 25th. Their magazines require a great deal
more time for processing and printing COLOR photos.
But WE DID IT! I had full printed copies in my hands last
Friday, March 25th. I probably will have more to tell our readers
about this experience in color printing in the May number. I had
