Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
Again I have to write you a quick and short EMERGENCY
S.O.S.!!
For eight or ten days following my brief letter last month
our Co-Workers responded very well--it looked for a few days as if
the financial emergency facing God's Work would be met. But then,
after that first flush of response, it DROPPED OFF AGAIN.
CO-WORKERS! The time has come for us to be fully AWAKE to
the condition we are in. Do you suppose that all danger of world-
war has passed--that we have reached a tranquil stage of world
peace, and that you and I may now lay down on this final Commission
of CHRIST--and leave it for our grandchildren to do?
WE ARE CLOSER TO NATION-DEVASTATING NUCLEAR WAR THIS VERY
MINUTE, AS I WRITE, THAN AT ANY TIME SINCE WORLD WAR II.
Two months ago yesterday I wrote you that WAR was
threatened over FORMOSA. War had just been averted in Lebanon and
Jordan on the eastern Mediterranean. The Formosa crisis has
quieted down somewhat--even tho it could flare up anew any second.
BUT THE GREATEST DANGER SPOT ON EARTH IS, AND HAS BEEN, BERLIN!!
Khrushchev shouts from Moscow that the Reds are going to
take over the three western sectors of Berlin, now occupied by
U.S., British and French troops. THIS, ABOVE ALL OTHER PLACES ON
EARTH, IS THE ONE SPOT WHERE SUCH A MOVE MEANS HYDROGEN-BOMB WORLD
WAR--means that either the UNITED STATES will be laid waste--you
and your children and loved ones ALL KILLED--or all RUSSIA will
be destroyed--OR BOTH!! If Khrushchev backs down now, he will lose
face. He CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE FACE! If the United States backs
down, moves out its troops from Berlin, and turns the more than two
million Germans of West Berlin over to the Russians, the very last
ounce of American Prestige as a world Power will be gone!
Actually, I do not believe the world war will actually happen right
now--it is nowhere prophesied--but this crisis IS throwing such a
scare into West Germany, France, Italy, and other European nations,
that it is DRIVING THEM a big step further toward UNITING for their
mutual protection into the prophesied soon-coming UNITED STATES OF
EUROPE. And it IS definitely prophesied in many places in your
Bible that this Nazi-Fascist resurrected Roman Empire WILL CONQUER
