Thank GOD! --The happy, God-obeying WORLD TOMORROW will
be here very soon! But meanwhile, we cannot get away from this
world. Jesus commands us: "Go ye INTO all the world, and preach
the GOOD NEWS!" That is our call and commission! That is our
LIFE! That's all we live for, now! We must be up and about our
Father's business. Yes---"go ye into all the world." Mrs.
Armstrong and I are on the way to Britain and Europe---with God's
precious GOOD NEWS for people over there! We hope to go as far as
Rome this trip---and some day, but not this trip, to Palestine! WE
HAVE A JOB TO DO!
Meanwhile, this great work PREPARING THE WAY before
Christ and HIS KINGDOM that shall bring WORLD PEACE can carry on
ONLY as YOU who receive this letter continue to make possible, day
by day, week by week!
It is YOU, dear Co-Workers, who hold this great work up--
-keep it afloat, just as this great ship holds us up and keeps us
safely afloat on this ocean, TWO MILES above the solid ocean-bed
below! They tell us the water is TWO MILES deep here! It would be
AWFUL to drown and sink down two mile into this water! But it
would be far more tragic if You Co-Workers ever failed to keep
GOD'S WORK afloat, even for one week, while we are gone.
REMEMBER! Our office staff is on the job every day in
Pasadena. A competent staff of ministers, and advanced students
receiving their final training for the ministry, is working every
day in the mail-receiving office, authorized to open all mail.
Your tithes and offerings are taken immediately to the business
manager's office, and then, after it is double-checked to account
for every penny, taken at once, same day, to the bank. Personal
letters to me, of course, will be held for my return or forwarded
to me airmail in Europe.

In my last letter I told you I would reprint a few of
these wonderful letters in my next letter. You have enjoyed
reading letters from new listeners from the ABC Network, and from
all over the world. Now I feel that you will enjoy reading just a
few letters from other Co-Workers like yourself, who feel just as
you do about God's great work. All of us Co-Workers have a lot in
common! So here is how a few other Co-Workers feel:
A man in Texas writes: "We received your nice long
letter, and what a joy it is to our hearts to know so many dear
souls over-seas, and all places far and near, are hearing the truth
of God's Kingdom, and are believing and accepting it. We pray the
Co-Workers will send in all that is needed, that you may keep all
your programs on the air. I have only the old age check, that I
might help a tiny little bit. How glad we would be if we could
send more! We earnestly pray that this great good work will grow,
and not slack up. I was 85 the 20th. Can't work any more. With
a prayerful heart, we remain ----(Signed)," "P.S.--Am sending $3
tithes. Sorry it can't be more." Co-Workers--how grateful we are
for loyal, faithful Co-Workers like these, whose whole hearts are
