are all people who have listened on Radio Lux more or less
regularly, mostly for some time, all are getting the PT, and
already are fairly well advanced. The fact we used no newspaper
ads means we have ONLY those who already have heard quite a little.
So, I am immediately getting off of Prophecy, which I have always
used to START a campaign, to get people interested, since these
already ARE interested and I'm going now into those subjects---I
think tomorrow night (no meeting tonight) on the DAY of the
resurrection and the 3 days and 3 nights in the tomb, followed by
showing the ten Commandments in force since Adam, then the
difference between the spiritual law and the rituals, then law and
grace and then the Sabbath.
I now feel reasonably certain we shall have a new London
Church raised up as a result of these meetings. Two people last
night, out on the sidewalk after meeting, said, "I hope we're going
to have a church of our own in London." One young lady has
insistently told Dick she wants to be baptized right away.
Of course, it is too early, as yet, to know definitely, but
it now looks like a church can be started and kept going every
Sabbath beginning a week from this coming Sabbath, or beginning the
first Sabbath Ted and Shirley will be here---although we will have
to start it here smaller than we now do in the U.S.---perhaps not
over 10 or 12 adult members. But George can hold them until Dick
returns, and it will grow.
Our largest interest in Britain, by far, is farther north, in
the industrial areas, and in North Ireland, and Scotland. London
is the point of LEAST interest per 100,000 population, but the very
fact there is so MUCH population here means an interest large
enough to start a church---and of course it would be impossible to
operate the office in any other city. I hope that soon after Dick
gets back, a church can be started in Manchester, and Dick and
George can serve both on the same Sabbath.
We are going to have to repeat the same procedure in South
Africa and in Australia. WE SORELY NEED TWENTY TO THIRTY TOP-
FLIGHT EVANGELISTS WHO CAN ATTRACT AND HOLD LARGE AUDIENCES, INSIDE
THEE YEARS. The laborers are FEW, but the harvest is comparatively
PLENTEOUS---and it is now the personal responsibility of EVERY
MEMBER to PRAY for more men of personality and ability to come to
Ambassador.
A letter from Benjamin Rea says Ted is now READY to start 15
minute broadcasts in Spanish. That means we must first have enough
booklets translated and printed in Spanish to follow it up. As
soon as this is done, I am ready to start Ted on the air in
Spanish, on KALM, Pasadena, in San Diego, in San Antonio and other
American border cities, and a NET-WORK all over South America,
which WAS available to us, and I think still is.
It will be almost no time then, until we shall need to open
offices in one or more major South American cities for mailing
literature, and need EVANGELISTS who can PREACH in Spanish, and
attract large South American crowds---if Catholic influence does
not make this impossible.
