Ambassador College), and the estate is in probate court settling
the will of the deceased, it is all subject to the decrees and
actions of the Court.
We have planned to make it the chief class-room building,
devoting one wing to our dining hall, its largest room to become
our assembly hall, and it would become the center of all social and
recreational life of the college. It has a large indoor swimming
pool. It includes some four acres of magnificent grounds. It
provides the building sites for future buildings as the college
expands in future years. It appears now that we may have to raise
$40,000 in eight days from this date, or lose the property and the
large deposit of many thousands of dollars that the purchasers have
already paid into it.
This is but a small fraction of what we shall have to expend
on building a new building to take its place, if we lose this
property now. The college has completely outgrown present
buildings and facilities. It would be a costly tragedy, costing us
perhaps $200,000 in the next two or three years, to lose this all-
important property now!
Co-workers, nothing but intensive and BELIEVING PRAYER can
save this most valuable property for God's college---and nothing
else can work the many MIRACLES so sorely needed by the many who
appeal to us for help at this time.
On top off all this, the income received for carrying on
God's work is right now some $8,000 short of last month's income,
as of this date of the month. IT IS VITALLY NECESSARY THAT THIS BE
MADE UP!
It is a life-and-death for the Merritt estate matter that we
raise an additional $40,000, somehow, in less than eight days from
this date, either by outright gifts or by loans. If a loan that
large could be made, we are now in position to offer adequate
security. And if ever we needed a number of LARGE donations of
$1,000 to $10,000 or more, it is right now. I would suggest that
any of you in position to make such a gift or loan contact me
immediately by long distance telephone. Just call Los Angles,
and the number is RYan 1-8766, or SYcamore 6-6123.
And to EVERY Co-Worker, remember that even if you and EVERY
Co-Worker would send in widows' mites, or offerings of from $1 to
$5, that alone might be enough to solve this present emergency.
Will YOU send, by return AIR-MAIL, the very largest sum you can?
A number of NEW DOORS are now open to us for radio networks
in Australia (the BIG-CITY Network now open), South America, and
elsewhere. Yet, at present, we simply do not have funds available
to go where CHRIST is opening the way. We have set a goal to go on
a number of Spanish-language stations beginning January 1st. Ted
Armstrong speaks Spanish fluently and without accent, and is now
ready to send out the Gospel in Spanish. You've heard him on the
air in English, and I'm sure you know that God has prepared him to
be VERY POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE in carrying the TRUE, and ORIGINAL
Gospel of Christ for the first time to MILLIONS of Spanish-speaking
