have shrines and buildings there! Yet they have never proclaimed
the very Message JESUS taught for His Church from there! Nor the
Protestants! Nor the Coptics, nor other professing "Christian"
sects.
No, He has opened it EXCLUSIVELY, by binding contract with
the Government of Jordan, to HIS WORK, to which He has called YOU
as a Co-Worker! This PROVES which voice on earth today is GOD'S
OWN VOICE, through human servants He has called! If you ever had
any doubts whatever about where the real WORK OF GOD is, you ought
to be SURE now!
Well, dear Co-Workers, I finish this important letter to
you just after returning from the burial of my dear wife. A
fitting tribute to the honor, respect, and high regard and
affection in which she was held was paid by the attendance of the
largest number of people I have ever seen at a funeral--many
thousands!
One of her last words, a day or two before she died, to
several of God's ministers who briefly visited her bedside, was a
smiling: "Well, you men go right along to your work--God has given
you IMPORTANT WORK TO DO--I'll be all right!"
In the next second of her consciousness, she will be IN
GLORY in God's KINGDOM! Yes, SHE WILL BE ALL RIGHT! Her suffering
is OVER! But YOU AND I have important WORK TO DO- and it is GOD'S
WORK! I'm grateful beyond words for fifty years of loving,
faithful, loyal HELP and inspiring companionship God gave me
through "the wife of my youth"! I will say more about that in my
next "Personal" talk with you in The PLAIN TRUTH.
But now I MUST BE ABOUT GOD'S WORK! --as she said!
So, tomorrow noon I fly, Polar flight, direct from Los
Angeles to Paris, change planes there for Beirut, and after an
overnight stop, fly on early Thursday morning to JERUSALEM, JORDAN,
where I shall meet Mr. Raymond McNair, Director of God's Work in
Britain, Europe and Africa, and also Mr. Charles Hunting, Business
Manager of the Work for the same area, stationed at the College in
England. They are today in Cyprus, opening a new branch office
there to receive mail from the new Jerusalem broadcast. I will,
with them, make final selection of a new branch office IN
JERUSALEM, made necessary by this broadcast.
I may even MAKE THE FIRST BROADCAST, IN PERSON, of Christ's
true GOSPEL, over Radio Jerusalem, live and in person IN THE
JERUSALEM STUDIOS--the FIRST proclaiming of GOD'S TRUE WORD from
there since the original Apostles! It will be a lonely trip
without the dearest person in the world at my side--but she did get
to know, two days ago, that the Jordan Government had officially
confirmed the history-making contract we had previously signed with
their representatives! And she would say, "GO!"--as she would say
to us all--"Carry on with GOD'S WORK! Never slacken! Never let
down!"
So, until next time, we shall CARRY ON!
