until I spoke last Sunday morning from the studios of KRSC in
Seattle. When we took this 8 o'clock time last Spring there was no
other time we could get. But when I saw on last Sunday it was yet
DARK at that hour, I prayed earnestly and asked God to open the way
for a later time.
SUDDENLY the way opened yesterday in Portland to change over
to Portland's most powerful station, KXL, at 8:30 a.m. Contacting
the manager of KRSC in Seattle by long distance I found we also
could change back to 8:30, our old time until last Spring, in
Seattle. At Spokane I was unable to get that time, but KXL offered
me the time between 10:30 and 11. The program will go out from
either Portland or Seattle over our own Liberty Net-Work at 8:30
a.m. The program will be received at that same time each Sunday
morning at the KGA studios in Spokane, but since they cannot
release it on the air until 10:30, they will transcribe the program
as it comes in over the lines from 8:30 to 9:00, broadcasting the
same identical program over KGA at 10:30 in a delayed broadcast.
I hope all our Co-workers and listeners in Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and British Columbia will rejoice with me in this important
step forward. This great and fast-growing work started in the
Pacific Northwest. I am very happy that this change has been
made possible. It should DOUBLE the power of the Message in this
great territory. REMEMBER the NEW TIME. Tune in at the new
time, and the new station in Portland beginning the first Sunday
in the new year, January 3rd.

W H Y We Use N E W S ANALYSIS
on the BROADCASTS
Some may wonder why we use the type program we do.
For instance, why do we devote five to fifteen minutes of a
thirty-minute broadcast to straight NEWS ANALYSIS?
There is a reason. A vital one. The present "WORLD TOMORROW"
program is the result of nine years' experience on the air.
It started, the first Sunday in 1934 over KORE, our local
Eugene station, then only 100 watts, as a radio church service.
Our idea then was to condense a complete church service into a 30-
minute radio program. There were several hymns, often one short
anthem, prayer, announcements, sermon. The sermons were spiritual
---straight BIBLE sermons designed to bring real SPIRITUAL FOOD and
deeper Bible understanding to those who thirsted for spiritual
knowledge.
Our intention was to send out an EVANGELISTIC program---to
proclaim the GOOD NEWS to the UNconverted---to win souls for
Christ. Gradually, I began to realize we were sending out the
wrong type of program to accomplish this purpose.
Two incident's brought this forcibly to my mind. I know radio
stations did not want religious broadcasts on the air. It was
