(. . . and now we are stopped at Glacier National Park,
and here is the famous Glacier Park Hotel I have heard about since
I was a young man. Everything is very beautiful. A huge U.S. flag
of growing red, white and blue flowers stretches out over large
well-kept lawns. It would be very nice to be able to stop off here
and spend one to several days in this wonderful national park---but
that is a luxury for which I can afford neither the money nor the
time in a time like this, when even the necessities of life, our
freedom, and life itself is in jeopardy. . . . And so now we have
started up and are speeding on east. The great mountain range
seemed to come to an abrupt end at the Glacier Park station, and
now we are travelling past rolling grazing land, though the
mountains of Glacier Park still loom on the horizon behind us.
. . . And now back again to the work we have to do.)
No, thank God, it is not yet too late! But, as one
correspondent who knows conditions wrote from Moscow, it is now
FIVE MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT! If we fail to heed the warning, it may
be too late within another two or three months. Yes, I, too, know
the conditions, and I know also what prophecy reveals for the
future. And I know, as I hope with all my soul you co-workers are
now beginning to know, that our hope now lies in arousing this
nation to TURN TO THE GOD IT HAS FORSAKEN AND FORGOTTEN! That, I
know, is the one sure hope of this nation now. Our situation is
just that serious. This war, for us, is a judgment sent from God.
God has blessed us with vast material wealth---more than two-thirds
of all earth's economic resources! And we have forgotten Him,
forsaken Him and His ways, made gods of the very material things
with which He has blessed us, and our land is steeped in sin, and
now plunging hell-bent into fast-INCREASING sin! THE DAY OF
RECKONING IS HERE.
Friends, and Co-workers, WE KNOW THESE SOLEMN TRUTHS! If
we fail to WARN this nation, God says He will require the blood of
the people at our hands. (Ezek. 33:1-6) Our job is to WARN the
people before it is too late---to admonish them with POWER, over
more and more radio stations until the whole nation hears the
warning---to turn back to the God we have forsaken. Because HE
ALONE CAN SAVE THIS NATION NOW. This is not idle talk. It is not
more alarmist language. IT IS THE STARK, BARE, SOLEMN TRUTH! And
in this RACE AGAINST TIME, we, dear co-workers, have OUR race
against time! It is, now, "five minutes till midnight". Then it
will be too late.
That's why I am speeding now back to Des Moines. There
is NO TIME TO LOSE!
So listen carefully, please. When I went to Los Angeles,
four months ago, and started on stations KNTR and KFMB in Hollywood
and San Diego, I faced the greatest test of faith of my life. In
order to get he message over, and establish the broadcast in
Southern California, and do it quickly, it was necessary to take
advantage of the opportunity God opened to go on the air 30 minutes
every day. That required more than $200 per week over and above
our regular expenses. I could not see where it possibly could come
from. But this is a WORK OF FAITH, and with God ALL THINGS ARE
