is to teach students to come out of this world and be separate---to
live by every Word of God, instead of the ways and customs of the
world---and yet, while not being of this world, but rather as
strangers and foreigners in it we shall train them to be
AMBASSADOR'S for Christ. We hope, therefore, to train every
student to be an AMBASSADOR for Christ and His coming Kingdom,
which we represent. The name AMBASSADOR, therefore, is in fact the
name of every student in the college. Of course the world in
general will not see or comprehend the real meaning of the name.
But to those of the world, the name carries distinction, beauty and
dignity. And there is no college by that name in Southern
California. I would appreciate it if you'd write and tell me what
YOU think of the name, "AMBASSADOR COLLEGE". Already we have
received many applications from students, and too, I believe, from
prospective faculty members. It is now tentatively planned for Mr.
Dillon and I to spend the month of June on the grounds, in
Pasadena, making more intensive preliminary plans, ordering and
installing the new college equipment. All equipment, in keeping
with our policy, will be the most modern and efficient obtainable.
Then the month of July and first half of August it is planned for
Mr. Dillon to be at Columbia University of New York, taking the
summer session in advanced educational research, making final
plans, for curriculum, schedules, etc., under the technical
guidance of the Columbia experts. While AMBASSADOR COLLEGE will be
utterly different in purpose, in objectives, in its basic concept,
etc., yet it will employ the most advanced of established methods
of administration, adapting these procedures of educational
experience of our basic principal. And the standards are to be the
highest in every respect. From August 20 until September 20th, Mr.
Dillon and I will again be on the grounds in Pasadena, making final
preparations for the college to open around September 20th.
It is planned now in due time to acquire two adjoining
estates, and a beautiful vacant lot across the street, on the
corner. This will give us the total of around seven acres of most
beautiful ground. Without exaggeration I can say flatly no college
campus in America will be more beautiful, and very few if any, as
lovely as this that God has provided for His college. If and when
we are able to acquire the two adjoining estates, we will have two
additional very large reinforced concrete houses, one of twenty-two
rooms, and one of fourteen, with space to build later two or three
class room buildings, a gymnasium, and on the corner across the
street, a beautiful chapel and church building. I am assured
circumstances are such that we shall be able to acquire this
additional property. At every step we see God's hand in this
remarkable undertaking.
In the January-February "Plain Truth", I will show you
pictures of the building and grounds---so prepare yourselves for a
surprise!
Now, brethren, I have left space only to say that we are
in he two hardest most difficult months we have ever seen. Already
we have met successfully the first of these two most difficult
months. But again offering and tithe are beginning to lag.
Beginning with October, our radio bills doubled. We already have
met successfully our first and hardest month in paying for the
