Dear Brethren and Co-Workers with Jesus Christ:
GREETINGS! Jesus Christ, the Head of God's Church, has been
moving swiftly to RE-AWAKEN and set His Church back on the track,
during the past five months. Then He completely started Ambassador
College all over again--throwing out the secularism and immorality
that had crept in while Christ's Apostle was away taking Christ's
Gospel Message into many countries over the world--starting the
college once again with only one Freshman class. But again, it is
GOD'S COLLEGE!
Jesus Christ moved swiftly, too, to set the RADIO and TELEVISION
programs back on GOD'S track, rapidly adding more and more stations.
Next came The PLAIN TRUTH--rooting out the secularism, and
making it once again GOD'S magazine--and soon, hopefully, the finest
magazine on earth, with multiplied circulation.
And now--He has once again made God's Feast of Tabernacles
truly GOD'S FESTIVAL--the LARGEST ANNUAL CONVENTION OR CONCLAVE ON

hath been His counsellor? Or who hath first given to Him, and it
shall be recompensed unto Him again? For of Him and through Him,
and to Him, are all things, to whom be GLORY FOR EVER. Amen"
(Rom. 11:33-36).
The ecstasy--the inspiration--the gratitude--the Praise to God
for this year's wonderful Festival still holds me enthralled!
I have heard again and again--from the three sites I attended
(St. Petersburg, Big Sandy, and Tucson) people saying the Feast this
year was as different from the past few years as day is from night!
The speakers were INSPIRED! They brought dynamic messages,
thoroughly covering the MEANING and the PURPOSE of this and God's
other Feasts. I have reports from all sites it was the same every-
where. The whole ATMOSPHERE--the spirit of the people--was different--
it was the Spirit of God. God's Church was in need of a SPIRITUAL
RE-AWAKENING--and in this Feast of Tabernacles we have made a GOOD
