very limited in our movements, there being a curfew after 7 p.m.
each evening, and travelling is only safe when in an armoured
vehicle. We are therefore very glad of the radio, and of our touch
with the Gospel messages that are being broadcast from Ceylon. Our
nearest European Christian neighbor is in a small village 8 miles
away. I will close now, with Christian greetings." DOESN'T THAT
LETTER TOUCH YOUR HEART? Think of it! Half way around the world
---8 miles from the nearest Christian---terrorism by Communists all
around them---unsafe to go outside of bolted doors after 7 o'clock
in the evening, unless in an armoured vehicle---barricaded in, like
prisoners every evening---having no magazines and newspapers
accessible as we have here in America---CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MUCH
OUR BROADCAST AND LITERATURE MEANS to these people? Are we going
to have to STOP this glorious and powerful work of God? THE MONEY
YOU SEND makes it possible. Let's dig a little deeper! We enjoy
luxuries here in America. Let's sacrifice a little more, that the
blessing of Christ's GOSPEL may go in still greater power---around
the world!
Here's a second letter from a man in Roskilde, Denmark. I
quoted his first letter in my letter of March 17, when he showed
great interest saying the true Gospel was "new thoughts" to him.
He was astonished at this Gospel of Jesus, just as those who first
heard it from His own lips, 1900 years ago, were astonished, as you
read in Mat. 7:28; 22:33; Mark 1:14, 22. etc. He requested
literature that he might study further God's TRUTH that was new to
him. Here is his second letter: "Dear Mr. Armstrong: Thank you so
very much for your literature which I received. Already now I have
read what you have written with a good deal of interest, and I look
forward to receiving your magazine regularly. It is really amazing
what the Bible tells us. It is interesting to learn a little about
Denmark in this great picture given of the lost ten tribes in the
Bible---and you will naturally understand that I am most anxious to
know more about the position of my nation in prophecy. May God
bless you richly in your work for Him." Co-Workers, this is YOUR
work for Him, too---as well as GOD'S WORK in and thru you and me.
The money YOU sent carried the Gospel of Christ to this man over in
Denmark, by radio and in print---and to thousands of others in
Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Holland, all Europe and Britain---as well
as those in far-away India, Malaya, and most parts of the world,---
and to the Millions here in North America!
From south-central India, comes this letter: "Dear Sir: In
your programme last night you advertised the free magazine, 'The
PLAIN TRUTH.' Will you kindly send me one, please. I enjoy
listening to your programmes. By the way, what denomination are
you? I'll close now, but I hope Jehovah God will bless your
programmes and you'll be able to reach many hearts." WHAT
DENOMINATION? The answer is, no denomination. Christ did not
organize a lot of denominations. He did not join or belong to any.
We belong to the only TRUE Church of God, the Body of Christ---the
very Church Christ Himself BUILT---of which He is today the living
HEAD, and we carry His Gospel to the world in HIS NAME, not that of
any denomination.
From way over in Indonesia, south of China---half way
around the world: "Dear Sir: I accidentally listened to your broad-
