home last Saturday night, making plans in detail for Garner Ted's
Personal Appearance meetings. Present were Garner Ted; Mr. Albert
J. Portune, Vice President for Financial Affairs and Planning;
Dr. Roderick C. Meredith, now Deputy Chancellor at the Pasadena
campus -- which makes him the acting administrator of the College
at the Headquarters campus; Mr. David Antion, Director of Church
Administration; Mr. Ronald Dart, Director of the Foreign Work
(including Canada); Mr. Joe Bauer, who will M.C. the Personal
Appearance meetings; and Mr. Gary Prather, Chorale and Band
Director.
The first of these Personal Appearance meetings will be
held at Calgary, Alberta. It is planned that these Personal
Appearance meetings will be held in each city three nights -
Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. The first such meetings will
be held in the large auditorium at Calgary, August 25, 26 and 27.
My son, Ted, visited Calgary this past week to complete advance
preparations for this three-night campaign.
At this first Personal Appearance, we will send an
abbreviated band, and also an abbreviated chorale, selected from
the Pasadena and Texas campuses, besides Mr. Bauer. It may not be
possible to send the chorale to such meetings after the next
college year begins, in September, but we hope to be able, if we
cannot, to have Mr. Dan Truhitte go along to sing. He is now a
student at Ambassador College, but has had some important parts in
movies -- including "The Sound of Music."
One important thing discussed Saturday night was having
these meetings TELEVISED -- that is, recorded in full color on TV
tape, to be put on television later, as special one-hour programs.
That way, millions of people will be able to see and hear these
special programs.
The NEW "Three-Point Program" is now well under way. My
son, Garner Ted, is putting his whole heart into it with great
ENTHUSIASM. His new DAILY TV programs are quite DIFFERENT from
the former documentary programs. They were more formal, filled
with a great deal of TV photography and interviews with experts
and specialists -- and were secular, containing little of the
Gospel Message. The new DAILY programs will not have so much in
the way of picture illustrations, though just enough to make them
effective, but they DO contain the real hard-hitting Gospel Message
of the living CHRIST. I have seen a number of them, and they are,
in my opinion FAR BETTER, and more effective, than the documentary
type.
In these new TV programs, Garner Ted is able to speak right
out from the heart, in real earnest. They are better, too, because
his whole heart is IN these new programs. I'm sure they are going
to CHANGE THE LIVES OF MANY THOUSANDS!
Co-Workers with the living Christ, this is a NEW START, in
the most effective, the most POWERFUL Work of getting the dynamic,
LIVING last warning Message out to a sick and dying world that
has ever taken place.
