may decide it is not advisable to enter Red China. It is in the
thinking stage.
I hope to be able to make a very startling and exciting
announcement of PROGRESS in the Work on my return to Pasadena.
Plans are moving along steadily for the advancement of the Work.
We are now actually STARTING the Work in Japan -- with two-page
advertising space ln the Japanese edition of Reader's Digest.
It will be the first such ad in the English language that they
have published. But in Tokyo alone there are four or five daily
newspapers printed in the English language -- so there must be
hundreds of thousands of Japanese who read English. We want to
reach them first, in the hope of bringing with us some English-
speaking Japanese to help in the BIG campaign for Japan to follow.
Meanwhile, only one thing prevents the Work from speeding up
faster than it is -- the amount of tithes and offerings to keep it
growing! The NEED is always with us -- and usually more urgent
than I'm afraid most Co-Workers realize. The Work needs your
CONSTANT EARNEST PRAYERS! Before my next letter to you I shall
have entered my 80th year -- and I need your heartfelt prayers
personally, as well. THANK YOU!
With sincere love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
