Dear Brethren of God's Church:
There are so many things I need to write to you about,
and I have only 30 minutes to write it. We are due to land in 35
minutes at Philadelphia, to pick up Mr. Rader who will be flying
around the world with me on this trip.
We left Burbank airport (near Pasadena) Tuesday morning,
after Orientation of new students last Thursday and Faculty
Reception Thursday night. Had Orientation and Faculty Reception
at Big Sandy yesterday. Will be at Orientation and Faculty
Reception in England next Monday.
I am now flying in our new Grumman Gulfstream-2. It
enables me, Garner Ted, and other top officials of the Work to do
many things we could not otherwise. For example, I expect to start
the Feast of Tabernacles at the new Feast site in France the first
night, then speak twice -- morning and afternoon -- at the English
site on the first Holy Day, leaving in this plane at 6:00 p.m.,
arriving United States east coast at 7:30 p.m., spending night at
Mt. Pocono site, speaking there morning of the second day. Flying
that afternoon to Jekyll Island, speaking there morning of third
day, then on to Big Sandy in afternoon. Will be there two days,
then on sixth day speak at Lake of the Ozarks site, leaving at
12:30 p.m., arriving out at Squaw Valley in time for afternoon
service, and on to Penticton, Canada site same evening, where I
will speak afternoon of Last Great Day. HOW'S THAT FOR FAST
TRAVEL?
On this present trip, conferences have been set up for me
with Mrs. Gandhi, Prime Minister of India at New Delhi, the Prime
Minister of Singapore, the President of Indonesia at Djakarta, then
8 days at our offices in Australia and New Zealand, then
conferences with the President of the Philippines, and preach at
our Church in Manila, then conference with the Governor General of
Hong Kong, then at Tokyo Prince Makasa, brother of the Emperor, has
asked if he may arrange meeting with about 300 professors of
Japanese universities for me to address -- and will be guest of the
Prince. Then overnight stop at Honolulu, where I hope to meet our
brethren and perhaps speak to them, then Pasadena again. Things
like this could never have been done without this plane. Will be
in Tokyo on Feast of Trumpets, Pasadena on Day of Atonement, and in
France to begin Feast of Tabernacles.
