Telecast on Resurrection Receives 17,008 Calls!
"Was the Resurrection on Sunday?" aired March 30-31 and brought in 17,008
WATS calls. This is the second highest response ever received, and 37%
above the year-to-date average. The ?tll-time record response of 17,229
calls was set by "What Are the Seven Laws of Success?" in February of this
year.
The telecast was preempted on 22 stations due to the Easter Seals Telethon.
Without these preemptions, we would have received nearly 1,000 additional
calls. Sunday evening response was also reduced due to the world premiere
of the mini-series "A.D."
This is the fifth time the "Resurrection" telecast has been aired. Follow­
ing is a comparison of each year's response:

Based on its past record, this weekend's program, "The Plain Truth About
Easter," may produce an even higher response than the "Resurrection" tele­
cast.
Visitors to Pasadena Campus Struck by its Beauty and Atmosphere
From time to time we receive thank-you letters from members, co-workers and
others who have had the opportunity to visit headquarters in Pasadena.
These people are a bit awed and overwhelmed with the beauty of the buildings
and grounds. They are also struck by the warmth and friendliness of stu­
dents and employees. Many compare the atmosphere to that of the coming
World Tomorrow. Following are some of the letters we've received:
A few days ago I was privileged to tour Ambassador College in
Pasadena.
The high quality in character, beauty, education,
warmth and friendliness was breathtaking. It is a beautiful ex­
ample to this world and a beginning of the "World Tomorrow." I
was so excited.
Then I came home and looked at all the unhappy and empty lives,
the grief and suffering going on in Satan's world. Oh, how I want
to help change this 1 It has inspired me to get behind you and
pray for you and this work more than ever so God's will can be
done on this earth.
