morning for Tokyo, for a meeting there, to be followed by meetings
in Bangkok and Munich, West Germany.
Wednesday, August 27, 1975: It is now August 27th. Morning
news on radio and televlsion -- too late for morning papers --
Haile Selassie of Ethiopia is dead. Nothing more than that
announced so far. No one knows where he has been held, except a
few top officials of the new military government which overthrew
his government about a year ago, taking the Emperor captive. He
was just eight days older than I. One of his last acts before
being taken captive was to send me a telegram of congratulation
on my 83rd birthday.
Tonight is a big night here on campus. There will be a
concert in the new Ambassador Auditorium, and dinner welcoming
the Honorable Bunsei Sato and the Honorable Toshio Yamaguchi of
Japan, (two of my "Japanese sons"), members of the Japanese Diet,
and the Honorable Keiichi Tachibana, Consul General of Japan (Los
Angeles).
Then, early tomorrow I leave for Tokyo.
Will see many of you at the annual fall Festival sites before
returning to Pasadena. I will be speaking to some 70,000 or more
of you -- at 12 Festival sites in eight days. I do need your
constant and earnest PRAYERS, and the Work of the living GOD needs
your prayers, tithes and generous offerings.
With much love in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
