this present school year. The certification of the college
requiring the pursuing of accreditation, the financial needs of the
First Commission of the Church, and the needs of the ministry made
this decision necessary. The trained ministry at the campus in Big
Sandy are sorely needed elsewhere because of the thousands of
perspective member visit requests. I have ordered implementation
of this decision to the appropriate officials involved.
Remember, brethren, this is the Work of the living Creator
God. We are now very near the end of this present age. I will
continue to give my all to the Work of God up to the last breath.
I hope you will all realize the seriousness of the time in which we
live and that nothing is important any longer other than to be
close to God and assured of a place in His very soon coming
Kingdom.
This world is not God's world, and of that we may all be
thankful. It is now in its very last days. This illness has
impressed heavily on my mind, more than ever before, the
uselessness of this present evil world. Thank God we are all very
near to its end. I thank you, beyond words to express, for your
loving concern and for the many thousands of cards and well wishes
that have been coming in from great numbers of you from all over
the world.
With all my love,
In the name of Jesus our Lord and Savior,
Herbert W. Armstrong
