Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
Very sobering things are happening -- and now happening
faster and faster.
Few educated people believe there is a Devil. I can tell
you one circumstance that I would have considered good evidence
there is no Devil. If no opposition, persecution, effort to
embarrass us or stop us in our joint participation with Hebrew
University in the major archaeological project at Jerusalem had
occurred, that would have been convincing evidence of the
nonexistence of the Devil.
But it has happened. News dispatches are going out to
newspapers all over the world attempting to identify with me the
arsonist charged with setting fire to the Al Aksa Mosque -- with
Ambassador College, and our Work. Every effort, it seems, is
being made to link us with it in a way to discredit the Work of
God. The man, Rohan, being held as the arsonist, the dispatches
say, claims to be identified with us.
This claim is TOTALLY FALSE. The first any of us at
Pasadena ever heard of this man was when the press dispatches began
coming over the Teletypes in our News Bureau. Checkups revealed
that this man had sent in for and received a number of our
Correspondence Course lessons. Last December he had sent in a
subscription to The PLAIN TRUTH. But any claim to any further
connection or association with us is an absolute lie. Two million
others subscribe to The PLAIN TRUTH. 100,000 others subscribe to
the Correspondence Course lessons. These are sent to any and
everybody who requests them, FREE. But such subscriptions do not
connect us with such subscribers or any act any one of them might
commit, any more than a subscription to the New York TIMES makes
that newspaper responsible for any acts committed by its
subscribers.
I am writing from our British campus. Mr. Stanley Rader,
our General Legal Counsel, and Mr. Hunting, Bursar of the College
here, are in Jerusalem conferring with officials there with whom we
are associated in the archaeological project. I am momentarily
expecting a telephone call from them. It is forcing us to go to
great effort, and expense, to try to offset this vicious and false
