So we limited the number of students we would accept on any
one campus. The college GREW -- and GREW -- and is STILL GROWING!
The second year there were 7 students, the third year 12, the
fourth year about 22. Today there are 700 on the Pasadena campus.
Now there are 250 on the English campus and about 400 on the Texas
campus -- total 1300 to 1350.
These campuses may be termed "OPERATION HAPPINESS." The
students and faculties on them are applying, in living human
experience, the CAUSES that produce the RESULTS of peace, good
health, happiness, abundant well-being.
There are NO student protests, sit-downs, riots or violence.
There is no faculty opposition. There is harmony and close
cooperation between students, faculty, and administration. There
are no weirdos, hippies or -- freaks. There is BEAUTY, but the
CHIEF beauty is not in the buildings and grounds but in the happy,
smiling, joyous faces of the students. It amazes visitors -- and
we have many every week. We are PIONEERING in the WONDERFUL WORLD
TOMORROW!
We know what's CAUSING the world's evils -- its unhappiness,
unrest, its poverty, ignorance, filth and squalor, starvation and
disease. We know what's CAUSING all the Biafras with their pitiful
starving and dying children. We can't FORCE an about-face on the
whole world -- we can't force all humanity to start living THE WAY
of the living Christ which is producing so much HAPPINESS in our
three college communities. But we can SET THE LIVING EXAMPLE, and
let the world SEE the RESULTS.
A few months ago the New York TIMES sent a feature writer out
here to Pasadena to spend two days observing the beaming, smiling
faces, and the beauty of HAPPINESS that is here. The Los Angeles
TIMES ran a big feature article on this campus, with a headline on
the top of the FRONT PAGE of a Sunday edition of over 600 pages,
calling it a UTOPIAN campus.
We have dropped our pebble of bursting-over happiness in the
pond that is this world, and the ring of its influence is EXPANDING
and EXPANDING.
And from these campuses goes out, by TV, by RADIO, by PRINT,
the MESSAGE of the living Christ -- the MESSAGE of the WAY to
happiness -- the Message of how to PREVENT THE CAUSE OF MORE
BIAFRAS -- to the WHOLE WORLD. And already 150 MILLION people are
listening and reading. And already multiple THOUSANDS are LIVING IN
THIS SAME WAY and learning what HAPPINESS really IS!
My dear Co-Worker, YOU are having A PART in spreading
Christ's Gospel of HAPPINESS, leading to ETERNAL LIFE and total
salvation, TO THE WHOLE WORLD.
More people have DIED of starvation since you read about the
four. It is all right for people to contribute money to feed the
starving in Biafra. But HOW MUCH MORE IS IT NEEDFUL THAT WE AROUSE
OURSELVES TO KEEP SPREADING THE GLORIOUS MESSAGE TO MORE AND MORE
MILLIONS, PREVENTING MORE BIAFRAS -- RIDDING THE WORLD of such
