governments -- to listen, with respect, to me, proclaiming to them
Christ's GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM. He then caused it to lead to
massive PUBLIC MEETINGS, endorsed by the governments or high
government officials, starting with Manila, Saigon, and Addis
Ababa, Ethiopia. Officials in Manila expected an audience of more
than 50,000 to hear that Message Sunday night March 3rd -- and I
mean 50,000, including top-ranking people -- the cream of the
Philippine responsible citizenry.
Satan moved to PREVENT that great meeting! Ministers he

I want you to read telegrams of just a few high-ranking

"DEAR CHANCELLOR HERBERT ARMSTRONG. PLEASE DON'T GET

HAVE MY SINCEREST PRAYER FOR SUCCESSFUL RESOLUTION OF YOUR

AMBASSADOR MEKASHA AND MADAME"

"DEAR MR. HERBERT ARMSTRONG. OUR SINCERE PRAYER FOR YOU
THAT YOU MAY HAVE PRECIOUS DIRECTION AND PROTECTION UPON YOUR

STATES. MAY THE ALMIGHTY GIVE YOU WISE WISDOMS, PEACEFUL MIND
AND SPLENDID HEALTH SO YOU'LL BE ABLE TO CARRY THROUGH YOUR
MISSION.
YOURS RESPECTFULLY,
YOUR EIGHT JAPANESE SONS
BUNSEI SATO AND OTHERS MEMBERS OF JAPANESE DIET"
At the time I awakened out of a pleasant dream into this
nightmare, we thought that a conspiracy had taken place which might
have as many as a fourth of all our ministers -- and how many
members we did not yet know. I am exceedingly grateful to God that
it was not anywhere near that many, and that I can now report
that several of those affected have since come to see they were
misled -- that there were MISUNDERSTANDINGS -- and they have
reaffirmed their loyalty to God's Church and Work.
And, further, that the number of lay brethren affected
was comparatively small, and that many, if not most of them, have
