ia and Iran- Iraq all bear recent
grim witness to man's failure in
making peace. lt is time we read
the Bible's prophecy for our day:
"While people are saying, ' Peace
and safety,' destruction will come
on them suddenly, as labor pains on
a pregnant woman, and they will
not escape" (1 Thess. 5:3, NIV).
No, humans do not know how to
bring peace. What is needed is "an
unseen strong hand from sorne
place." The
good news
is that that
unseen strong hand
is coming to
intervene in the affairs of men to save
mankind from utter destruction.
J esus Christ is coming again to
usher in an age without hunger- a
new age of prosperity and peace.
Men will be forced to put away the
weapons of war and war strategies
altogether (lsa. 2:4).
Instead of appropriating money
for missiles and ai rcraft, nations

merely a profession for earning an
income. Money can't buy happiness
or contentment, or the things that
real/y
satisfy- CONTINUALLY,
without ever a letdown.
And I not only know these
answers, but I know also that there
is only ONE PLACE ONEARTH where
a student may learn these answers
that are worth more than all the
money in the world. But, for that
matter, when you learn these
answers and
apply
them, you don't
have to worry about money-for
the very application of these princi–

brings
economic security.
The only academic institutions
on earth that teach tliese MOST
IMPORTANT areas of knowledge are
the two Ambassadoi College cam–
puses of Pasadena, California, and
Big Sandy, Texas.
People remark that they never
have seen such a
happy
atmosphere

full of spark and
interest-and
HAPPY!"

ARE!"
But don't think you already
know the full reason why.
You
don't!

know the full answer until recently.
When we

1 don' t
