Dear Co-Workers with CHRIST:
This is a quick and short EMERGENCY S.O.S.!!!
This whole world has suddenly hit a stupendous CRISIS. At
the same time, the most important activity on earth---GOD'S WORK
---faces a crucial emergency.
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THIS WORLD? Can your mind really grasp
it? In 1944 we were in the fast-moving Machine Age. In 1945 we
entered the frightful and faster-moving Atomic Age! And now, 1957,
we have been plummeted into the terrifying 18,000 m.p.h. (five
miles per second) SPACE AGE!!!
Think of it! It used to take thousands of years to pass
through just ONE AGE. The DESTRUCTIVENESS of MAN'S INGENUITY has
now speeded up at such incredible accelerated pace that we have
just passed through THREE AGES in twelve short years!!
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? It means far more than soaring of
Russian prestige and shrinking of the United States prestige in
world opinion. It means far more than the fact that the story of
history is the story of the rise and fall of great nations---that
always when a nation becomes rich, proud, and basking in the
sunshine of luxury as America is doing today, a poorly clothed and
fed but tough, high spirited and strong barbarian adversary
conquers and destroys it. It means far more than the handwriting
on the wall for AMERICA---that this nation now faces the DOOM that
is prophesied and which it MONTHLY refuses to realize. IT MEANS
THE DOOM OF ALL CIVILIZATION is descending down upon us, as rapidly
as this new SPACE AGE is rocketing Sputniks and missiles up into
outer space at 300 miles per minute and faster!! It means that, as
God said at the Tower of Babel, now NOTHING will be restrained from
MAN until he has blasted all human life from off this planet---
UNLESS GOD QUICKLY STEPS IN AND STOPS THE HELLISH ADVANCE OF
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TOWARD WORLD OBLIVION!!
IT MEANS OUR TIME IS SHORT---far shorter than we knew!! In
such a crazed doom-bent world, ONE URGENT MISSION STANDS OUT AS OF
FIRST IMPORTANCE OVER EVERY ACTIVITY ON EARTH---far in importance
above this feverish Science-Activity for which President Eisenhower
now calls. That is to THUNDER GOD'S LAST WARNING GOSPEL MESSAGE TO
