That Message is the Message of their Creator -- the Good
News OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD. I go before these world leaders with
the highest credibility. And in this I think you should REJOICE
and THANK GOD, and add your most fervent PRAYERS to mine for the
VICTORIOUS conclusion of this GREAT WORK, to which YOU have been
called TO HELP!
NEVER, so far as I know in all history, has our GOD moved
on government heads of major nations to invite, and endorse such
meetings where God's Minister delivered the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM
OF GOD before their LEADING people. It is something NEVER DONE
BEFORE.
Fellow Ministers, SATAN KNOWS THIS! And just as I am now
flying to Manila for this very first of these never before
meetings, Satan is pulling out all stops to try to destroy THIS

News has just this morning reached me of one thing I have
to inform you about IMMEDIATELY.
I have just learned that some of you are still being
troubled over what we came to call "D & R", although I had been led
to believe that issue had been settled satisfactorily for all with
the publishing of the new booklet, "Marriage and Divorce." I did

Before the 1973 Ministers' Conference in Pasadena, it was
announced that a team was being appointed at Headquarters to
research this question. Fellow Ministers I asked for that. I
wanted the ideas, the views, the careful research of our best
technical Biblical scholars and researchers. I did not myself
select the committee that did the study and research. I did ask
the coordinator of the team for the results of the studies. I
devoted weeks to my own study, with the papers of committee members
turned over to me.
I assumed, and no one gave me reason to know otherwise,
that I had the complete results of the studies of the committee.
It was not all one-sided.
Now I am given to understand that two or more Evangelists
at Headquarters as well as other ministers and scholars did neither
voice objections I am now led to believe they hold nor turned in
the research they had thought relevant. Nor did they object to the
booklet after it was prepared. It was printed. From that day
until YESTERDAY not one word was voiced to me from ANY objecting to
the booklet! Naturally, I assumed it was accepted by all and that
question put permanently to rest.
But just yesterday the knowledge of this apparently strong
