There will finally come, in our time, a tremendous single world power, with política!
and military rule over all nations- no military power to challenge it.

Japanese Diet, whose daughter

speeches werc made with an inter–
preter. This interpreter, by the wa"y,
is a professor of English
at the university.
I followed. My address
was taped and wired thc
same evening to Pasadena,
so many have heard it in
thc Unitcd States.
Of course, whcrc there
must be an interpreter,
there are two microphoncs,
and the speaker can say
only a sentence or two,
then must pause while the
interprcter repeats it in
Chinese.
But, although in a com–
munist and atheistic–
oriented country, 1 did not

get over to them the cos–

Goo, announcing the com–
ing ONE-WORLD GovERN–
MENT
OF
Goo. lnstead of
the word
God,
which might
sound hostilc to thcm, 1
spoke of the " un see n
Strong Hand from someplace" that
will intervene and bring WORLD
PEACE.
The message was wcll received. 1
heard expressions saying 1 had given
them "much to think about."
Tuesday we made an early start
and were driven to the GREAT WALL
of China- surely one of the "seven
wonders of the world" in terms of
man-built wonders. The wall is about
3,600 miles long, and on top is wide
enough for a two-lane highway.
Tuesday night was a banquet with
ambassadors representing 76 na–
tions, and many wivcs, beside Chi–
nese officials and wives.

football field. Most of those present
understood English, so 1 spoke with–
out an interpreter. Again l gave them
the "GOOD NEWS of the coming
Kingdom of God"- perhaps in even
stronger and more plain language.
Again it was more than well re–
ceived.

speaking to officials from 76 OTHER
nations this night. Many of the ban–
quets and dinners of the past 1
O
years
have afforded me the opportunity to
speak to official representatives of
many nations. T here were ambassa–
dors representing 19 countries at a
luncheon in Ethiopia a few years
ago.
When the prophecy says, "And
this gospel of the kingdom shall be
preached in all the world for a wit–
ness unto all nations" (Matthew
24: 14), it does not necessarily mean
IN
all nations. Much of that proph–
ecy was fulfilled on December 4,
when the GOOO EWS of the KlNG–
DOM was proclaimed to official repre–
sentatives of 76 nations! This in–
cluded nations from Afr ica, Europe,
Asia, Soutb America-pretty well
spreading out to all tbe earth!

wi ll not recount here what
J
said
that night, since it was taped, and
thousands of our readers
will have heard it before
you read it here.
But
J
do try to explain
that
J
am an ambassador
for world peace-that 1
talk with many heads of
governments- that they
all have greater problems
to face than any man can
solve-that, meanwhile 1
am trying to assist and
HELP toward more peace–
ful relations between na–
tions
NOW,
but that solu–
tions are beyond human
ability to handle and that
the "unseen Strong Hand
from someplace" (and they
all know very well 1 mean
Goo) will have to inter–

NAL SALVATION AT LAST!
Just another word here
about the Great Wall of
China. It is longer than the
distance from Los Angeles, Calif., to
New York- longer than the distance
across the entire United States.
Although 1 had seen pictures of it. I
had not realized that it cont inues up
and down over mountain tops. It was
built in its entirety by hand labor–
probably countless thousands of men.
And it was hundreds of years in
building. Apparently it was built to
keep out the nomads from the
north.
Wednesday, Dec.
5,
as al ready
covered, was a busy day. At 9 a.m.,
we left for the nationallibrary. Then
