Dear Co-Worker with Christ:
Now we are in 1969! But 1968 -- that was the year that
was! Just LOOK at the facts -- how the world skidded DOWNWARD --
DOWNWARD -- yet this Work of God was propelled by the living Christ
UPWARD -- UPWARD, in its biggest year of GROWTH!
Here is a brief, quick reminder of how the world went:
January 16: Britain's role as a world power came to an
end. Prime Minister Harold Wilson announced the complete
withdrawal of British forces from the Far East and the Persian Gulf
by the end of 1971, instead of 1975, as previously planned.
Britain NO LONGER AN EMPIRE!
January 23: The U.S. Navy ship PUEBLO with 83 crew
members captured in an act of war by the little 5th rate nation,
North Korea. The U.S. has had the pride of its power broken,
according to Lev. 26:19. Military might of powerful U.S. failed to
go to the rescue.
January 30: The urban crisis threatened "the whole fabric
of American Society."
February: In powder-keg Middle East, Intensified clashes
between Israeli and Arab forces. In New York city garbage strike
piled up 100 tons before strike ended Feb.10, showing a few union
leaders can paralyze a city.
March 1-14: In gold crisis, U.S. ended its currency's
gold backing. Value and stability of dollar in peril. Britain's
worst hoof-and-mouth disease epidemic, with great destruction of
cattle, (430,000 had to be slaughtered) ended March 13 -- had
begun the preceding October. Ambassador College cattle (we do
farming, producing much of the food for our students both there and
in U.S.,) unharmed. Were we not protected?
March 28: Memphis violence -- 4,000 National Guard called
out.
April 4: Slaying of Martin Luther King. April 4 to 11,
