Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
As you probably know, once a year I send a letter to all
our NEW radio listeners who are also readers of The PLAIN TRUTH---
but who are NOT, at least as yet, Co-Workers. Again this year I
thought you, too, might like to read this special annual letter---
so here it is:
You may have wondered, as many others have, about this
work---WHO sponsors and pays for the broadcasting and publishing---
and the question so often asked: "WHAT DENOMINATION are we?"
And perhaps you've wondered WHY you never hear us ask for
money over the air---WHY there is no subscription price to The
PLAIN TRUTH---WHY all our booklets and important literature are
FREE.
In past years, at this season, I have given our listeners
and readers a condensed sketch of my own life and background---
early business experience, how God struck me down and brought about
my conversion, how I was put into His ministry, and the start and
progress of this work. This year, however, this entire account is
running serially in The PLAIN TRUTH, in considerable detail. If
you are interested in knowing this background---how I was called,
and how God put me in His work, and how it has developed from
virtually NOTHING---one small once-a-week broadcast on a tiny
station at a total cost of $2.50 per week---you may read the entire
story in all its details in The PLAIN TRUTH.
But before I answer these questions, let me ask, WHAT IS
THE REAL SIGNIFICANCE OF ALL THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT IN SPACE FLIGHT?
It means we'd better WAKE UP!!!---and FAST! It means we
are now entering the SPACE AGE! We have passed from the Machine
Age into the Atomic Age, and now into the Space Age, all within the
past 12 years! It used to take a thousand years or more to pass
from one "age" into another.
It means things are speeding up---faster and faster! The
Russians have put a dog into SPACE. The United States has sent a
model of an atomic war-head into outer space and brought it back,
unharmed! The United States has fired an H-Bomb missile straight
on the target 5,000 miles away---meaning the U.S. could fire an
H-bomb from American or Canadian soil and DESTROY MOSCOW. And NOW
