Dear Co-Workers in Christ:
Again GREETINGS in Jesus name. I have NEWS! Important
news. TREMENDOUS things loom just ahead---both in world
happenings, and in God's work.
You know, we can go along for a long while---either in
world events, or in the work of God--- with ups and downs, with
frequent times of crises, and then, at last, we come to the final
CROSS-ROADS, the final major all-time TURNING POINT, where things
are going to turn one way or the other.
God's work has reached that crucial TURNING-POINT---our
"D-Day", which, to us now means DO or die! And also this is
"D-Day" for the whole world! As I have been THUNDERING clear
around the world the past few weeks, we have reached the time when
an ENTIRE CONTINENT can be laid waste in one night without warning!
The Secretary of the United States Air Force, speaking for the

nations cry out to God Almighty to stop it! General MacArthur says
we have had our last chance---that now ONLY GOD can save us!
Look at the VERY LATEST world news. The Communists have
now broken the Armistice in Korea. They keep U.S. fliers
imprisoned in Red jails, falsely accused as spies. The Reds are
challenging the United States and the United Nations to FIGHT!
America faces this choice: Act now---resume War, or else bow
weakly to Communist force. What is Washington doing? What is the
United Nations doing about it? Merely using words, not weapons.
But Reds are never impressed with words. They are becoming more
insolent, threatening more force on their part, issuing more
challenges. It used to mean TROUBLE for any nation who dared
mistreat American citizens. More than 140 times the U.S. has sent
armed forces into foreign territory to defend American citizens,
without any real war. Today America sends only words. United
States policy in dealing with Russia right now is to merely protest
in WORDS. "Peaceful Coexistence" is getting a tryout. Meanwhile,
heavy bombers and fighter planes that match anything the U.S. has
are streaming out of 360 Soviet plants. Meanwhile, still more
satellite nations are in process of being gobbled up by Russia---
North Vietnam, South Vietnam, Indonesia---even Finland,
Afghanistan, Iran, and Turkey appear headed in that direction.
Yes, MEANWHILE, another ally begins turning away from the
