Let me illustrate; while I was watching the TV coverage of
today's moon walk, by Apollo 12 Lunarnauts Conrad and Bean, the BBC
gave viewers a street interview questioning several people. The
interviewer was asking people how much they were interested in the
moon walk. The lack of concern was surprising. Most were more
interested in personal and general problems of humanity here on
earth.
But people are bewildered.
With all his vast knowledge and know-how, man still doesn't
know the way to PEACE -- to happiness -- to universal abundant
well-being! He could know! Some few do.
But science doesn't know! Nor technology! Government has
never brought peace, nor solved individual, national or world
problems. Religion has failed utterly to make this a better world.
Education has not taught THE WAY! Psychologists can't point the
way. Even the experts in the very field of society's ills -- the
sociologists -- don't know!
The crying need of this hour is a VOICE that can explain
WHY -- that can GIVE THE ANSWERS -- that has the solutions!
And The PLAIN TRUTH is that VOICE!
That is why our circulation is growing so fantastically!
No one of the organized facets of society -- science,
technology, industry, government, religion, education, sociology --
is giving the people what they need! All seem to be trying! All
are seeking peace! Yet not finding it -- because they don't know
the way! These organized facets of society are all trying to give
the people better things -- to do things for the people.
But no one of them is helping the people to live better
lives! No one is showing the PEOPLE how to solve their own
problems! How to stand on their own feet!
For example. A man came to me with a real hard luck
story. I knew the man well. He was not a stranger or a beggar.
He was a poor manager who was always trying some new scheme that
was going to make him rich. His electricity had been shut off, his
telephone disconnected. He was three months behind in paying his
house rent and was to be evicted the next day. I told him that if
he'd go out and get a job that paid real wages before the next day,
I'd help him. Of course he hated to give up his get-rich-quick
schemes and actually go to work for wages. But necessity drove him
to it. I offered no help until he did.
Then did I just give, or loan him the money to pay up all
his bills at once? That would not have helped, but would have
injured him. That man would forthwith have chucked his job and
gone back to his impractical schemes of getting money without
effort. I gave him just enough to stall off the eviction and keep
his running water turned on (he lived in a city). I told him to go
to his creditors, tell them he now had a steady job, he could pay
