are planning to do the same thing in the U.S. and Canada.
Also, in addition to the NEW TV season programs, we are
planning to try the 5-minute TV programs, and the l-minute
commercials we have been using with our half-hour TV programs --
in PRIME TIME, as we are able to buy and afford to buy the time.
I, personally, have been anxious for some time to see what those
l-minute commercials would do in prime time on TV. I think they
are the best commercials on TV.
Now, PUBLISHING: The PLAIN TRUTH is now coming out, a
finer magazine than ever. Circulation over 3 MILLION copies. It
has had a larger circulation on newsstands over Europe, than TIME
or NEWSWEEK. And it has brought more subscribers, at lower cost
per subscriber, than any other means. I'm anxious to get this
going in the U.S. and Canada.
The GOOD NEWS in the past was sent to members of the
Worldwide Church of God only. Now, if you want it, we will send
it to all you Co-Workers. It will contain inside news of the
Work, of me personally, of my son Garner Ted, of TV and radio
plans, besides articles on understanding Biblical subjects,
spiritual living, Biblical doctrines, with the "real meat" of
God's Word. Also news of the College, etc.
PERSONAL CAMPAIGNS: About 50 new personal campaigns are
planned for this-coming season. My son's campaigns have produced
a real HARVEST. Dr. Clint C. Zimmerman just had a very successful
personal, public, preaching campaign in Saskatoon, Canada. Mr.
Sherwin McMichael had one in Calgary. Mr. Charles Hunting had a
fine public campaign in Regina. More of our top ministers are
getting out into personal campaigns before the public with THE
REAL GOSPEL that had been withheld from the world for over 1800
years. Many such campaigns are being planned for the United
States during coming months.
So you see, Brethren and Co-Workers, a TREMENDOUS IMPACT
with Christ's own Gospel -- the most IMPORTANT MESSAGE the Creator
God ever sent to MANKIND -- is going in greater POWER than ever
before -- IN PERSON -- BY RADIO -- BY TELEVISION, both weekly and
DAILY -- BY PRINT, in The PLAIN TRUTH, The GOOD NEWS, besides
dozens and dozens of attractive FREE books and booklets. AND NO
ONE ELSE GETS THIS VITAL GOSPEL TO THE WHOLE WORLD!
As I said, BIG THINGS -- the biggest ever -- are now ahead
in this greatest Work on earth. WHAT A PRIVILEGE to have a PART
in it!
Meanwhile, we need to be aware that the country and the
world is heading into a FRIGHTENING STATE OF AFFAIRS. No question
about it, Watergate has had a severe effect on this nation and the
world. That, and other events, HAVE ERODED CONFIDENCE! Many have
been reacting with typical HUMAN NATURE -- pulling back, foot-
dragging, suspicioning one another, becoming critical, as news
media indicted, tried, and "convicted" leaders in their papers and
news programs. Prices soared, shortages became commonplace, people
began hoarding -- greedily buying up staples, canned goods, and
