Dear Co-Workers in the
Work of the Living GOD:
Ever since the UP-TURN last December, the upward surge in
this most important activity on earth continues to accelerate!
Men very close to the heads of governments in the Arab
world have been preparing for personal meetings between them and
myself, and already, through the real enthusiasm of these men,
Arab leaders are anxious to have OUR MESSAGE GOD IS GETTING TO
THE WORLD THROUGH US reach their own people. We expect The PLAIN
TRUTH to be on newsstands in many or most Arab cities very soon.
This in no way impairs our very close and affectionate relation
with the leaders in Israel.
Then again, Ambassador College is now in a joint
participation with the Japanese government in a Japanese
archaeological project in Israel, under direction of Japan's
well-known archaeologist, Dr. Ohata. I recently attended a very
important dinner in Tokyo at which were present Prince Mikasa,
brother of Emperor Hirohito, who is deeply interested in
archaeology (and who invited our participation in this project),
Dr. Ohata, some six other university scholars of Japan whose area
of chief interest is archaeology and the Middle East. Also present
was Ambassador Ronn of Israel. Needless to say, the Israeli
Government is elated over this new tie with the Government of Japan
-- tending to bring the two nations closer together in harmony and
peace.
In my letter a month ago, I told you that requests for
gospel literature and subscriptions to The PLAIN TRUTH had been
breaking all records. That record-breaking acceleration continues
-- but now, MORE! -- requests from people requesting counsel and
help toward baptism are breaking all records in the history of
this Work!
The DAILY TV programs are producing ever-INCREASING
responses -- now far outdoing radio, though hardly a fourth as
many stations, and in spite of the supposedly poor time for the
telecasts.
Results from Garner Ted Armstrong's PERSONAL APPEARANCE
programs are also increasing. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday
nights of this week he is speaking at Salt Lake City, and the
