Dear Co-Worker with Christ:
Here are things YOU NEED TO KNOW right now! This world is
coming to a MAJOR CRISIS--and FAST! THIS COUNTRY is entering a
MAJOR CRISIS right now! And this WORK OF GOD into which you and I
have been drafted by Christ as Co-Workers with Him, IS IN A MAJOR
CRISIS--RIGHT NOW!
Here are the VITAL CHANGES OF EVENTS you need to BE AWARE OF!
These are going to AFFECT and change our very lives--IMMEDIATELY!
The time for AWAKENING to the SERIOUSNESS of these things is HERE!
First, WORLD CRISIS: The war in Vietnam is hitting a CRISIS!
Recently captured U.S. airmen were paraded through streets in North
Vietnam, to be hooted and jeered and SPAT at. The threat of North

had a VIOLENT REACTION in Washington, and over the United States.
It was made plain that if this was carried out, there would come
swift and terrifying retaliation by the United States. I have just

Britain from utter bankruptcy.
UNITED STATES CRISIS: The United States has hit a VIOLENT
crisis in "TIGHT MONEY." The government cracked down on lending.
Repercussions have been violent. It's now almost impossible to
borrow. It's almost impossible to buy or sell a house--because few
have the cash to pay in full, and it's now almost impossible to get
a loan. Banks and savings and loan associations have started a WAR
among themselves.
WHY? Well, they are somewhat like a factory. The factory has
to buy the raw materials from which it manufactures its product
which it sells. The "raw materials" of the banks and savings and
loan companies are the savings deposits. The commodity which these
companies and banks SELL is MONEY which they loan on interest.
They need more money in the form of savings deposits in order to
have what they SELL--which is money to loan. The largest of the
