and Daughters of Isabella, where for some 25 minutes I opened the
Gospel of the Kingdom of God to them. With me were my daughter,
Mrs. Gott, and Mr. and Mrs. Rader and Mr. Gotoh.
On Sunday evening, about 5 o'clock, our party, behind the
Highway Patrol siren, with a three-car procession, drove out to the
outskirts of the city to the residence of Vice President Lopez of
the Philippines, a beautiful large mansion atop a hill, with an
exciting view of the city of Manila. Both before and after dinner,
we were entertained by a troupe of Filipino dancers and performers
in very colorful costumes.
Monday, at 10 a.m., a visit with the Mayor, and a ceremony
in which the Mayor presented me with the Key to the City -- a very
ornate work of art, by the way. At 12 noon, a luncheon press
conference, in a private room at the Manila Hilton Hotel. We
received a MOST FAVORABLE PRESS, by the way -- more often on the
front page of newspapers -- every day we were there. Also on
television and radio. One evening Channel 2 put on a 20-minute
documentary supplied by our own television people who work with
my son Garner Ted in his daily TV programs. The Channel 2 crew
came to my hotel room for a ten-minute televised interview which
-- following the 20-minute documentary -- filled the entire 30
minutes. I later heard from many people who had seen it. This
was put on as a public service, without cost to us. I mention
this to show you the superb co-operation we had -- with the
blessing and endorsement of THE GOVERNMENT! And God has given
me virtual miraculous favor in the eyes of heads-of-state and
governments in East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East (both
Israeli and Arab), Africa, South and Central America and Europe.
GOD IS OPENING DOORS, GIVING ME ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE FAVOR,
FROM THE VERY TOP, IN NATIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD! And HE IS GIVING
HIS MESSAGE FAVOR. I do not, of course, in any way refer to local
religions -- but present, as I tell them, the answers to present
world troubles, and THE WAY PEACE IS GOING TO COME -- as knowledge
heretofore not revealed either by science, religion, or education.
It is a Message from the LIVING GOD, aside from, AND OVER AND ABOVE
that of religion, education, or science.
But I pull no punches. I give them the TRUTH, from the
Bible, full strength! God has shown me how to present His Message,
which HAS NOT been proclaimed to the world for 18 1/2 centuries.
It is the ONLY-WAY this vital Gospel Message could be proclaimed in
these many great Gentile countries! Yes, God does sometimes move
in mysterious ways His wonders to perform!
Continuing, on Monday evening our dinner guest, in a
small private dining room in the Hyatt Regency Hotel, was THE
MOTHER OF THE PRESIDENT, Mrs. Josefa E. Marcos. She is a
delightful person to know, virtually my age, who has raised a
President of a great nation. Two government highway patrol cars,
with flashing red lights and siren, accompany her, one in front
and one behind her car, wherever she goes, besides other government
security guards. She lives in the Presidential Palace. I think
you will realize the official honor paid to me by her presence,
besides the many other ways. God has indeed given me almost
